The 27 holes at Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club sprawl through a landscape of swaying palms, towering pines, and mature live oaks. Located in Bonita Springs, the club offers some of the most scenic holes in southwest Florida. The numerous water features are difficult to ignore, coming into play on almost every one of the club's holes. The holes are played in three 18-hole combinations. The South/North golf course is a challenging but fair layout that features strategically placed bunkers and several doglegs. The club's signature hole is the North nine's second. This scenic par 3 plays to a well protected green that features a bunker on the right, and out-of-bounds to the left. In addition to the three golf courses there is a practice facility with a driving range, pitching and chipping areas, and two large putting greens.

Late afternoon round

Made a 3 PM discounted tee time as a single and was finished with 18 holes by 5:40 PM.

The course is in good shape, and the north course is especially nice. Firm greens with a good roll. It’s a decent value relative to some other courses in the price range.

A lot of water here, short holes, and not very forgiving — so hit em straight!

Beware of the Turn

Booked first tee time of the day as a twosome. I didn’t do my homework and noticed when we got there Spanish Wells is a 27 hole course. Thinking it was 18 holes, my 85 year dad and I could enjoy early relaxing and fairly quick round. Front was just that. As we made the turn things slowed to a halt. 3 groups were in front of us waiting. I guess it’s my fault for assuming that we would still be the first group out playing the back. Paying $119 per person if fine with me if I know what to expect. This was unexpected. I feel we didn’t get what was payed for. There are plenty of nicer courses for less. Ibis Landing, $99. The National at Ave Maria $89. And even San Carlos, $89. Any day playing with your dad is a great day…But this seemed Busch League.

Very pleased with the day

Look forward to playing SW again as it presented challenges for me. The 3 nine hole courses ensure variability.

Really enjoyed the day.

Lunch at the pub was good as well.

Fun Track Requires Accuracy

This was my second time playing this course in as many weeks. The course is managed well. Fairways and Greens in good shape. Signage helpful. Marshall is on top of pace and even kept a group of locals who were unnecessarily complaining about pace from intruding. All in all, this was a fun experience.

Really Nice Course!!

My group was vacationing in Cape Coral, and we were looking for a nice course to play. Spanish Wells was a fit the bill perfectly. The fairways and greens were in good shape and the speed of the greens was fast, but not unfair. Plenty of water hazards on the course help to increase the challenge. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we played an additional 9 holes after the first 18. The clubhouse was well appointed, and staff was excellent. I would definitely recommend Spanish Wells GC.
