About

Holes 18
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.

Nice

Outside of the typical membership guys who think you should bow down to them if you are not a member, love the coarse. No starters so members pull the crap they do at all clubs like this.

Great Course

Down here on vacation from Orlando and booked this course. The staff were awesome and friendly! It wasn’t rushed and packed like some other courses. Will definitely play again.

Really good shape

I play it a couple times every summer and it's in the best shape it's ever been for me. Greens are pure, slow, but rolling smooth and true. Will be back later this summer for sure.

Great staff, fun vibe

The staff at Spanish Wells was incredible. They were so friendly and helpful. From bag drop, to the pro shop, snack cafe, and the starter. Great feel.

The course had tons of water, but not overly challenging. Some interesting designs.

Highly recommend.

I was very impressed with the course. First time playing it, will not be the last. I only had one issue, the snack bar was ill prepared with any food that was "ready" at the turn. It was around lunch time and almost no menu items were made or ready for purchase. Very long wait time.

For the dogs

Too many short holes with stupid doglegs. There is even a U shaped hole with no yardage markers to the corners, what is this, bumper pool?
