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.

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.

They have 3 nines. North is terrible. Poor shape; poor layout

South is better. Pace horribly slow. Starter told us to pick up the pace when we were waiting on every shot!

Never again

Good as usual

Spanish wells is always a good outing they keep the course in nice shape and even when busy pace of play is good. We live in the area and enjoy playing here more often than others in the area .

Staff area always friendly and don’t treat you differently even though you don’t live in the community.

Thank you for being a nice place to play!

The golf course still hasn’t improved

We play this golf course once a year, in hopes that it improves. Still hasn’t. The weeds and the very dried up course made it difficult to find a spot to tee up. It’s so dry that you must club down because your ball runs through the hard-pan fairways into the bunkers. They have a few holes that are just so silly to play. The Marshall came around to ask us to speed up play. That was a laugh!! The entire day, we waiting for two foursomes in front of us. The round took 4:45 minutes. We won’t give this course a fourth try.
