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.

Winter Round

First time this season. Nice course reasonably priced. Play slowed down on the back. The ranger come thru and corrected condition. Not sure how this accomplished, normally empty promises during similar conditions at other courses.

Nice lunch prior to round, reasonable price.

Very Nice Course

The Spanish Wells Country Club is a nice course. Having been a member of a couple of different Country Clubs, I must say it did not rise to the level of a typical private club. That said, the course was in good shape, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and it was an overall very good value. It just didn't have the amenities you expect to see at a CC. I'm an 11 handicap and shot 89 there...it is a target required golf experience. Lots of water on every hole. I recommend GPS golf layout tools to help figure out ball placement.

Quirky course

Always a risk playing on a Saturday afternoon, and the gentlemen in front of us did not understand pace of play and turned in a 5+ hour round, even after one of the rangers talked to them to speed up or jump ahead. First time playing this course - it is a short course with a lot of quirky holes, especially the South course, so target golf and iron play needed most of the day. As others have mentioned, wet areas on the course when no rain has been around for 2 weeks suggests they are overwatering or have water management concerns on course. Quite possible I may have enjoyed this round more if I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for every single shot. Nonetheless, my overall impression is that there are better courses to play in the area.
