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.

Welcoming and Well-maintained

Booked this for some friends and I while in town for vacation. We played the North-East course combo. North course had a fun layout and enough difficulty with lots of turns. East course was more straight forward, but was a good reprieve for our back-nine. The staff was friendly and welcoming to guests. Overall, I’d play here again in a heartbeat when I’m in town next.

Only knock was that our front-nine got a little backed up, which I expected with a shorter course like this one. I could see it getting slow in busy season, but still worth the $75/person to play a club course that is taken care of well.

Private course that allows someone public play.. Good but not great condition. Fun layout with lots of water. Bit of a drive from Naples but a really great value for the money compared to other courses.

Einfach tolle Löcher dabei, wie immer in Kursen in solchen Orten gab es ausreichend kurze Löcher, aber dafür auch viele richtige herausfordernde Löcher.

Wer die Chance hat, spielt diesen Platz,

New Management Company

I have been playing this course for about 4 years. This iwas my first time this year. A new management company took over this course about 2 years ago and since than the course has gotten from great to one of the worst in the area. They continue to raise the price to both the public and members. It appears they haven't reinvested back into the course. I will not be returning anytime soon.
