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.

North Course is fantastic

First 9 holes on East course. Slow pace, since fully booked. East course was good, but some fairways were dried out.

Back nine was on North course which is absolutely beautiful. Real challenging, Layout very good, place condition also.

Pace was excellent, since it seemed that I was playing only on this course.

When playing Spanish Wells, try to get a tee time on North course.

Tight coarse

Nice layout, not in the shape for a hefty price. Greens nice, fairways need some work. Beautiful setting. I will be back. Try to get a deal.

Very nice!

A bit expensive for the track. Good shape in general. Greens a bit scruffy in spots, bare in others. Played North/South.

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
