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.

Nice public 27 hole course

In high season, it can be very busy. On this day, they ran out of carts but staff was quick to turn them over as players came in. We were not delayed. Pro shop and curb staff were friendly, eager and on point.

We played North and South courses. North is tight while South is wider with more water. Fairways and tees in good shape for high season. Greens the same. Have not played East but hear it’s the better of the 3.

Beverage cart was seen only once. Snack bar can be sketchy and can suddenly be sold out of items or simply closed. Range with floater balls on site. All in all, can’t complain as it’s surrounded by one high end CC after another.

Great staff, fun day

Enjoyable day. Staff is extremely friendly. Greens are in good shape. Tee boxes and fairways are in need of a lot of help. Still fun to play.

Played 3 times in area. This course was most expensive. The pro shop was good. The course was in good shape but layout was pretty ordinary. I would recommend other courses first.

Dreadful condition

I actually liked the course layout but the condition of the fairways was probably the worse I have ever played and I have been playing frequently for over 30 years .

Sone of the fairways reminded me of a poorly ploughed field .

In my opinion they have no right to take our money to play this course . They should shut it down until the damage can be rectified .

Nice but expensive

For the price, the range balls should be included + a couple of drinks.

2nd chance same review

I want to like this course as it is located in a great area. Sadly this course needs a complete overhaul. It’s just not up to par with anything else in the area. It’s in need of a redesign and new course management

Decent

Ok course but like much of Naples public golf, overpriced. Average course conditions at best. May go back only because they aren't many good options.

No so great Today

The East course is better but the south fairways were very wet, especially first 3 holes. Greens on the slow side.

Not at It's Best

South course fairways were wet and seem to be always wet. Greens were furry and slow. East course better. Good value as a hot deal at around $75. Staff is terrific, range was ok.
