Rating 72.6

Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs offers tennis and bocce courts, a fitness center, and 27 of the most picturesque holes in southwest Florida. The holes are divided into three nines: the North, South, and East; that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The East/North Course combines the longest nine and the shortest nine. Towering pines and palms as well as mature oak trees cover the entire course. Almost just as abundant is the water, which makes an appearance on almost all of the club's holes. The golf course begins with one of the few holes at the club where water doesn't come into play. Although trees line both sides of the fairway on this dogleg right par 4, the landing area off the tee is generous.

Winter Round

First time this season. Nice course reasonably priced. Play slowed down on the back. The ranger come thru and corrected condition. Not sure how this accomplished, normally empty promises during similar conditions at other courses.

Nice lunch prior to round, reasonable price.

Very Nice Course

The Spanish Wells Country Club is a nice course. Having been a member of a couple of different Country Clubs, I must say it did not rise to the level of a typical private club. That said, the course was in good shape, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and it was an overall very good value. It just didn't have the amenities you expect to see at a CC. I'm an 11 handicap and shot 89 there...it is a target required golf experience. Lots of water on every hole. I recommend GPS golf layout tools to help figure out ball placement.

Quirky course

Always a risk playing on a Saturday afternoon, and the gentlemen in front of us did not understand pace of play and turned in a 5+ hour round, even after one of the rangers talked to them to speed up or jump ahead. First time playing this course - it is a short course with a lot of quirky holes, especially the South course, so target golf and iron play needed most of the day. As others have mentioned, wet areas on the course when no rain has been around for 2 weeks suggests they are overwatering or have water management concerns on course. Quite possible I may have enjoyed this round more if I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for every single shot. Nonetheless, my overall impression is that there are better courses to play in the area.

Front 9 Needs Work

The course was extremely wet on the front despite not having rain anytime recently, now I'm not an expert on golf course maintenance, but it certainly seems over watered. The greens were in good shape overall, despite what appears to be the fact that no one cares to repair a ball mark on greens. There are definitely areas of the course especially the rough where there's not much care for the conditions. For the price, it's a decent course.
