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.

Fun course

Played the whites because that’s what playing partners wanted. A little short but fun course in decent shape. Hole #7 on the North course is a “fishhook” layout which I really didn’t like.

Over sold

This isnt a complaint about course condition, but our foursome waited at the first tee box for 1/2 hr. beyond our scheduled TT so a members tournament could finish making the turn. There were 3 more foursomes behind us waiting. Managment could care less that we all had to wait. It was a typical over sell of the course during the high season. Do yourself a favor and call the course before you book.

Three 9s and conveniently located

Arrival and checkin were nicely handled, even at the front gate. The staff was service minded. They represented Spanish Wells professionally and friendly.

Overall, its a very playable course. Aim well, or pay!

Around the water hazards, the landscaping is significantly beat up. This may be to the recent Hurricane Ian. The fairways on the south 9 need work. The east course fairways are good. All greens are true. I’d like to include the north course on a future visit.

Nice course at Spanish Wells

Course was in good shape. Not long but tight fairways, target golf. Pace of play started out badly but ranger helped move things along for a reasonable 4:15 round. Greens are in good shape. Considering the limited options for public golf in the area, this is a good choice. Will play it again.

Good layout but only fair condition.

I've played this course before (maybe 2 years ago) and it was in much condition then. Yesterday, the grass on the fairways was pretty thin. The greens, however, were in good shape and they were pretty quick.

I was a single but was grouped with three very nice folks and had an enjoyable afternoon. The course was in good shape, with true but challenging greens. Watch for GN deals.
