Rating 72.4

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.

Course is overall a good place to play, the course could use some maintenance in spots. The staff is very nice overall a good course for the price to play.

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.

Fun Round Busy Course

I played with two buddies and a single, who joined us as. The Check-In system and course management was smooth.. The course was busy on a summer Sunday morning. Water stations, bathrooms, snack bar, and snack cart were accessible. Tee boxes were well marked, and in fair condition. It is clear that they keep up with maintenance here. Greens were in good shape and surprisingly fast. Piece of play was slow at first and picked up as we went along. We completed 18 holes in a little over four hours. With only a stop for a bathroom break at the turn. This course has a unique and interesting layout that allows for several different configurations. On this day, we played the south and east courses. It would be fun to go back and play the north and west as well or some other combination.

Nice Course and Very Friendly Staff

Played this course as a twosome. Front nine was dry and good pace of play for the first six holes. The foursome in front of us played very slowly for the 7th through 9th and didn't care they were holding up two other groups on the same hole, even when heavy rain came down. Spoke to the Pro Shop and they sent a ranger out to speak to that foursome. We had an hour-long rain delay before starting the back nine. Spent that time in the bar enjoying conversation with the staff and other players, who were all very friendly. Played the back nine in 90 minutes as there were no groups in front of us. Definitely recommend this course and we look forward to playing it again in dryer conditions.
