South/North at Spanish Wells Country Club
About
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.

Golf course or backyard? Photo submitted by Jimmy3044469 on 06/14/2018
Love this course when I visit.
We like to beat the heat and play in the afternoon around thunderstorm time. Played 3 times on my trip with no major rain outs. Just cloudy and breezy and the best way to play florida golf in the summer. Greens and course overall continue to be great. Course layout isn’t spectacular but it’s fun and a great value.
Twilight round surprise
Snagged a 3:30pm for $30 at a course I’ve never played, wish I lived in the area it would be my new home. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Course was in amazing shape. 4 iron off the tee will be your friend.
Awesome experience
Course was in great shape. Very challenging. Water left and water right on many holes. Staff was wonderful starting with Steve at drop off to pro shop staff. We are on vacation and we will definitely play this course again. Thanks for great experience.
North and East courses are excellent
Played here again because we had such an enjoyable time the first go. Played the North again and the East for the first time. The North was in really good shape and a challenge. The East course was in excellent shape and a pleasure to play. Staff is extremely nice, I really like playing here.
Formidable!
Played Spanish wells often times before when we are on vacation in summer but this year we've made the best experience. First time played the North course. Unusual Layout for this area with doglegs and challenging holes. Expecting rain showers when we started but they did not come, so we could play the front nine like a private course. Also the back nine on the east course were well maintained, greens soft, tee boxes and fairways on a top Level, staff at the Pro Shop and at the bag drop super friendly. Had a blast of fun and enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended!
Tight course
27 hole course. Only one 9 hole, North was open. Was not notified. Water hazards, take extra balls. Friendly staff and good conditions.
VG Value
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.
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!
Good course
This is a pleasnt course which I found moderately difficult.They have improved this course a lot since 2 or 3 years ago.
Good value for the money.
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!
