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.

Visiting from Tx

I enjoyed playing. The greens were cut short enough to not be really grainy so they put true with out a lot of exaggerated break. Fairways do have a lot of mixed grass and weeds and they were not mown down when I played but I guess that could be expected at a cheaper rate course. It honestly does mess with me on a par 3 when the box has fluff almost as tall as rough. I had fun though! South course is really short but made for a perfect warm up 9.

Nice course with rude staff

Upon arrival the two gentlemen at bag drop were unpleasant and did not offer any bag help. Then while on the course, we needed to use the restroom and found a keypad lock. Called the pro shop 3x, finally answered and lady said very rudely, ‘You will have to hold’ Once we were able to ask for the bathroom code, she said it’s 1***. Like as in the course holes and par. Like one was just to assume that was the code.

When waiting to tee off with the Marshal, one of our foursome said she was trying to get her shirt* together (being funny) and the Marshal said, ‘You are going to talk like that in front of your daughter?’ (Our 10 year old daughter was playing in our foursome) His vocal judgment was completely inappropriate.

The only friendly staff in our entire experience was the lady at the snack bar. She was 5 star friendly and helpful.

We were so extremely disappointed with our experience, as we had seriously considered membership at this club.

East 9 is better than the South 9

Our first time playing this course. Staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the standard of the course was below par, particularly the South course. Quality of grass on the fairways and greens was poor. The East course was better.

Not worth the rate paid

This course was not in great condition, except for the greens, which were quick and well maintained. The staff were friendly when you could find them, but the pace of play was slow and the amenities sparse. This was not because they did not have amenities, but there wasn't any staff there. This may have been attributable to this being the slow season and the members don't seem to use the bar, restaurant, etc.. The grass in the fairways and rough were spotty at best resulting in dead patches in many areas. I would not play this course again for the price paid.

Too much money for the conditions

The fairways were bare ground in some spots, hard as a rock. Some of the greens were bad and very inconsistent. I was disappointed. I think the price was way too much for what we paid for this time in the season.
