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.

Enjoyable course to play

Found the course to be in very good condition considering the past hurricane. The greens played at a decent speed.The tee boxes could have been mowed lower. The sand traps were in good shape.The fairways were also in good playing condition. The one draw back was the condition of the golf cart. Could have used a wash job…a little muddy/dirty.

I will play the course again.

First Time

A great course that is well located near 75 and Tamiami making it easy to get to. The staff was very friendly and all carried a smile. The track is nice, played the East and North course. Lots of water but hey, that’s golf. Will definitely be back.

Nice course

Overall, I think it’s a good course. The greens were in great shape. No beverage cart, but there wasn’t much play so I get that. We had a threesome holding us up. Other than that, it was a good experience.

Not great

The course itself is just not very interesting, not kept in amazing shape (weeds in the fairway, overgrown tee boxes). However, for $35 (including cart), it's passable.

The practice area was my real issue. It was $5 to hit 30 cracked, limited flight balls, off matts (so can't practice tee shots) into water with no targets. A complete waste of time in my opinion. In addition, the putting and chipping greens weren't open. I got there 45 minutes before my tee time to warm up and found myself without anything to do once I realized the driving range wasn't going to do anything for my game.
