South/North at Spanish Wells Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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
Lightning quick greens
Another wonderful day on the course at Spanish Wells! The course is in great condition even though we’ve had a lot of rain so it must drain really well. The greens were cut pretty close and very fast! I have no complaints. I recommend Spanish Wells highly.
Very Nice Experience
I played the East and South courses. Nice layout, without being terribly difficult. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Experience was so enjoyable, we returned to look at homes for sale!
Soanish Wells, a great course
Excellent course, vey well kept and good and challenging greens.
I would recommend to anyone, eyes closed, to play this course
Must Play
To Golfers looking for a good round:
Wonderful golf course. The course was in great shape and the green were smooth. Very friendly and helpful staff. Overall the golf course is a balance challenge, some easy holes and several that get your attention. The best part was no one on the course. i played 18 holes in well under 3 hours. In my opinion, this is the best value in the county. Very affordable, course great shape, and fast pace of play. I strongly recommend for anyone to play this course, you wont regret it.
Great Experience
My 2nd time playing here, I got a 3p tee time and played in 2.5 hours. I played the South and East courses.
The course was in excellent shape and has its challenges.
I played the blue tees to add a few extra yards and it did make it a bit more challenging.
Overall, a good experience and I will play this course again.
Nice course
Yardage seemed short for my tees that was more than made up for with challenging layout. Only negative was the spongy soft first cut if you landed just off fairway. Was really hard to ring your ball really disappeared Just had to drop a ball a handful of times where I thought it was.
Course was in great shape, and the staff was extremely friendly and courteous
Great For Intermediate Golfers
Three challenging nine hole courses. Average difficulty, great conditions and nice pace of play.
Breath of fresh air
It was exhilarating to play Spanish Wells! The fairways were super, and I guess I could say unfortunately the greens were smooth, immaculate and rolling fast! The fairways were too narrow, but weren’t too broad and a few were tricky. All in all it was a great day of challenging golf and maybe I could say the course got the better of me in the long run :-)
I’ve been playing other courses with similar cost, but find many of those courses are being renovated and missing part of the joy of golf. So Spanish Wells gets a thumbs up and you won’t regret it.
I had so much fun playing here, my first time through.
While this course is not perfectly manicured like the top tiered Country Clubs….its really nice and has full service golf amenities. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. I’ll be back soon!!
