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.

The course was in decent shape

Staff on the bags were quite fun and entertaining.

Pricey round though.

No accountability

Twice we were behind foursomes each with her own cart. Both front and back nines. No ready golf being played. 5 hour round. Play was so slow two open holes ahead. Ranger could not move them when asked, he said they complained about us being too close. No accountability. Bar seating for beer and lunch was under serviced, kept having to ask for simple things like silverware. Play here twice a season, very disappointed this trip!

Good course friendly staff

Overall, I enjoyed my round. The first impression is great. The welcome team is friendly and set my clubs up on my cart and had me all set to go. The Pro Shop staff also add to the experience by making check in quick and easy and adjusting a tee time for me so I could join a threesome.

The course wasn't perfectly manicured but was in good shape between the tee and green. Some of the Tee boxes and greens were not in great shape. Overall, the course is challenging but fair. I will play again.

Poorly maintained course

For the price, this course is a very poor value. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in terrible condition. No GPS on the carts. There are far better values with other courses in the Naples/Ft. Myers ares.

Good pace of play

East and South nines good layouts. North NOT my favorite at all. Tight, Doglegs make for some tough tee shots

Greens usually very good but dry and hard today.

Good pace of play.

As everywhere in Naples area green fees getting out of hand.
