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.

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.

Nice course

We played the East and the North 9s.

The East is a nice course but the North is far nicer. The design is nicer in my opinion.

Iam looking forward to playing there again!

Wonderful course and fantastic staff!

This was my first visit to Spanish Wells, but it will not be the last. From the gentlemen who greeted us at the bag drop to the pro shop staff, everyone was kind and welcoming. Played with two members who treated us like we had been friends for a long time. The course was in great condition and the challenge from the East course transition to the North course had us challenged to think and execute good golf shots. I will certainly be back!

Nice layout.

Nice layout. Couple tricky holes where course knowledge would have helped. Greens rolled smooth and true but still soft enough so they held approach shots. Tee boxes good condition. Some fairways had some bare spots. Friendly staff. I’ll play again.

Staff all very friendly and helpful. They need more golf carts, as we had to wait for a cart for our afternoon round. Takes away from practice time,
