About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6563 yards
Slope 137
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.

Outside staff was super friendly and helpful. I was paired with two very nice gentlemen. Pace could have been better but we still played in just u see 4hrs. I had 3 birdies on the first 9 which never has happened so I can’t complain!

Had fun playing this course!

I had never played this course before. The conditions were decent and the fairways rolled nicely. Although the courses were rated higher than the courses I usually play, I thought they were much friendlier and I played well on them. We played the South and East courses. The starter was able to get us off a bit earlier than our tee time. The pace was a bit slow, but not bad. I would come back!

Great staff. Brutal value

Hate to be this guy but wish I saw this review before I booked. First of all staff is great, shouts to them. Course is fine…if it was $50 - $75. $180 for this course is insane. You’re so much better off getting a 3:00pm tee time at one of the nicer courses for the same price.

C+ Municipal course!

The greens were pretty good, but the price to pay should reflect an overall better playing experience.
