East/North at Spanish Wells Country Club
About
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.

Golf course or backyard? Photo submitted by Jimmy3044469 on 06/14/2018
Where is the green; where is the trouble; where is my target
I thought the course layout was terrible golfers playing the course the first time or infrequently. Too many holes multiple doglegs with no idea of the distance you needed to hit for a reasonable next shot. This was especially true of the North course. The guys we were paired up with quit after 11 holes out of frustration.
Nice Loop; good conditions, friendly people
Played Spanish Wells for the first time with my son-in-law.
It was a very quiet Monday and we were finished in 3h 10 minutes playing at a comfortable pace.
They have 3 x 9 holes at Spanish Wells, and our loop was North to South. Lots of water all around. You must play "target golf" as there are several sharp (even hook-shaped) dog-legs. 5 irons and wedges will serve you well.
We found the North course very enjoyable and challenging. The South course feels very much like a public course, with lots of wide-open views, and relatively flat fairways. The greens (while small) seem slightly bigger on South compared to North.
I certainly would play there again, but maybe this time from the Blues (we played mixed Blue/White) or perhaps even Gold to increase the challenge.
Typical Florida resort course.
Greens rolled true. Not a fan of the layout. Many short doglegs.
Great golf course
Great greens. Over all aspect of all holes we played were in great condition and well manicured. Highly recommend
Spanish Wells (9/4/2021)
So much rain that they closed the North course and the South course had just been aerated. That left us the East Course with some of the craziest hole layouts. But it was is solid condition with very little water. This is a course with some tight fairways, tricky doglegs and lots of blond holes. Play with a member to learn about it. Greens were moving fast and the pace of play early Saturday morning was fast! I like this place.
Single Player
The course was in good shape and though it was hot they have convenient water and restroom locatiions. I do believe since they have 3 9-hole courses there could be improved signage about where to go from the check in spot, for those that have been there only a time or two.
Well manicured course
Although the course is well manicured but the drainage is not adequate.
