East/North at Spanish Wells Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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
Price gouging
We booked tee time quickly by phone the evening before we wanted to play. We saw the price posted on the Spanish Wells website. We got to the course and they wanted to charge $35 EACH more than the price on the website because we called for the teetime rather than booking it online. We complained but they would not give us the price on the website. Fine. We walked out and went to Arrowhead. Spanish Wells lost over $300 business. Jerks

Fun round at Spanish Wells.
Course in good condition and staff was very helpful. Typical of in season in SW Florida the course is over priced. You have to wait until the last minute to get a good rate. They would fill more times if advanced booking rates were more reasonable.
Golf
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course in good shape. Pace of play was slow at times. Feel fees high for average Course.
Awfully mismanaged
Local resident, avid longtime golfer here… was extremely disappointed in the chaos and mismanagement of all three starting tee boxes. When we first got there for a 1:30 tee time, it was already a free-for-all on the first tee with no starter in sight. To make it worse, they STARTED us on South, while they had groups MAKING THE TURN onto the South at the same time. So there were about 6 groups waiting on the first tee and no direction from a starter whatsoever. Then, while WE made the turn to the East course, they had SEVERAL MORE groups lined up to start at a 4pm tee time. Now, you all have 27 holes at this resort… why on Earth does it make sense to send groups out all day on all three tee boxes???? It took us over 5 hours to play our round and we waited on every single hole, all day long. It was absolutely brutal. This is an obvious tee-time-money-squeeze out of the clubhouse and for the rate we paid, I certainly do not appreciate it and will not be back. And that’s year-round, not just the 2-3 months you decide to mismanage the course this way. Terrible.
Nice round
As usual we enjoyed our round, the staff was friendly and helpful. The course was in good shape and greens were true.
This course was not worth the money
Not a nice course at all… and def t for that money
