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.

Great staff, fun vibe

The staff at Spanish Wells was incredible. They were so friendly and helpful. From bag drop, to the pro shop, snack cafe, and the starter. Great feel.

The course had tons of water, but not overly challenging. Some interesting designs.

Highly recommend.

I was very impressed with the course. First time playing it, will not be the last. I only had one issue, the snack bar was ill prepared with any food that was "ready" at the turn. It was around lunch time and almost no menu items were made or ready for purchase. Very long wait time.

For the dogs

Too many short holes with stupid doglegs. There is even a U shaped hole with no yardage markers to the corners, what is this, bumper pool?

Tough Turf

The course was nice however its fairways and much of the rough was embedded with foreign grasses. The greens were in very good condition and were kept long so played slow. The staff was mostly accommodating and tried to expedite the pace of play. The conditions around the facility were a bit older and could use some updating. The practice range in particular was disjointed, iron play in one area on the turf and then wood play in a separate area off of mats.
