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
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.
dreadful
the layout if the course is quite interesting . But they need to shut this place down , the fairways are appauling .Most of the holes were like playing in a farmers field . The drainage on the fairways is awful to Non existent.
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.
Not Up To Par
I’ve played all four 9’s in the past, and conditions were previously much better. The North course was the most disappointing. Several tee boxes were chopped up and/or not level. The fairways were thin, and where there was more grass, they cut too low. The greens were ok, but many of the golfers are too lazy to fix their ball marks. I probably repaired an average of 3 or 4 ball marks per hole. The South course was in better condition. Although all SWF courses are now ridiculously over-priced, Spanish Wells is a more reasonably over-priced course.
scenic and fun
water on almost every hole. creates intrigue and interest. layout is fair.
Second time playing
Played 18 paired with another friendly and fun couple. We played the combo blue/white and white/red. Previous time we did white only and green only. Course is definitely more challenging for longer play, as in more water hazards in front of tee box. South course was a bit soggy due to recents rain but still was ok play.
mediocre course
way overpriced for what it is, greens were ok but the rest of the course was mediocre at best
Played East and North Nines. Course and greens were in good shape despite recent rains. North 9 was more challenging due to water hazards.Pace of play just over 4 hrs. Staff very friendly and helpful.Enjoyed round and will return.
Amazing customer service. Course in decent condition. Expensive.
Just think it’s too expensive for this particular course. If they are gonna charge this much the course conditions should be substantially better. IMHO.
