About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6500 yards
Slope 136
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.

Watch GolfNow if you can grab this for about $35 you will not be disappointed. My only ding is not a big fan of the South course but East and North are real good.

Solid Course

I enjoy playing at Spanish Wells. There should be more late tee times available. The course was in better shape than my last round. It was fairly dry considering all the rain. The greens were in better than normal shape. It made for a fun round.

Great day till it rained!

My girlfriend and I golfed on a day where it looked like it was gonna rain everywhere. But there’s something known as the Bonita bubble that protected the course long enough to get 16 holes in! Very happy playing golf at Spanish Wells.

First Time Playing

Nice revamp

Played saltleaf for the first time since the remodel, nicely done challenging yet fair. Only 2 things I can have negative comments about

No sand just waste bunkers that have no challenge to and I’m not hitting my expense clubs out of limestone

Beverages are really pricey $10 bucks for a beer

Other than that I think I would play again but will stick to water.

Wet Season Iisues

All course now will have cart path restrictions during the wet season. Soggy but greens and T boxes very good. If you can grab this for about $30 it's a good deal.

Highly enjoyable course

The course is in great condition. It’s design is challenging in certain ways and open enough to enjoy driving. The greens are well managed with challenging pin locations.

The employees are all very friendly and it’s the best place for your money in Southwest Florida!

Solid course

Played north/south... Was in good shape. Not too busy. Rough can be a little thick, so definitely keep it in the fairway. Consider playing hybrid tee boxes as seems to be some short holes. Overall, good value with hot deal.

Spanish Wells in excellent condition

Course was in the best shape I've ever played it. North/South were the two nines we played. The staff was off the charts nice. From the Director of Golf, the beverage stand, bev cart, and cart staff were exceptional. Really look forward to playing here again soon.

Good price, GREAT Staff

This was a "Hot Deal" so I tried the course. Course was good ... the staff was great. Was greeted at the bag drop and felt welcomed. Went to the Pro Shop to check in and the staff was super friendly. Would definitely recommend Spanish Wells!
