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.

Spanish Wells

I Played afternoon deal round and was very satisfied with the course. Some holes were difficult due to the lay out. The course was in excellent shape after the busy season. Greens, tee boxes and traps were all groomed nicely. Summer rates and deals at Spanish Wells are much better other courses in the area.

Staff catered to a sixsome

I was suppose to play with three strangers, but the staff moved me to a later starting time to cater to six guys who wanted to play together. The held up play for the groups behind them which included a tournament of the members that caught up to us.

Rough shape

The staff is incredibly friendly, but everything from the range balls, to bunker rakes, and the all grass except the greens were in rough shape.

Great per Usual

Always a great time playing here, live 5 minutes down the road so it works out great to get a quick 18 in. It’s hot but that keeps others away so the course was pretty open.

A great course

An experience not to miss - great course and very challenging in places - some holes really make you think whether the hero shot will work or better to play safe and lay up. Bruce, the Ranger and cart man was excellent. Friendly and helpful and gave us good advise. The clubhouse is immaculate and the Pro Shop has a great range of clothing and accessories.

Don't miss this gem near Naples!

Above expectations

We played East/North and loved the layout, conditions, deal price, and staff.

Staff greets you in the parking lot with cart, handle clubs, towels and explanations of the course, amenities and all. We loved it so much we are looking at possibility moving there as we love Bonita Springs.

Keep in your rotation

We have a condo in the Bonita Springs area and spend 6-8 weeks there. We have rotated through most of the public/ public-private courses in the Naples/Estero/Ft Myers area. While Tiberon is our favorite, for 25% of the cost Spanish Wells is a good track to keep in the mix. We played North/South- with a notable difference in the tight layout of North. South was more playable and enjoyable. Will try East next. Greens rolled well, fairways in good shape. Check in staff awesome.
