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.

One of the Best Courses in the Area

A wonderful club with 3 interesting and challenging 9s.

Condition is great with very fast greens.

Lots of water in play on most holes.

Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Would recommend to all.

Disappointed

I played this course many times and this is the worst condition I’ve seen. The fairways were soggy, and it hadn’t rained for a week. Very hard but soggy greens, and there were all kinds of imperfections in the green. It even seemed like when the holes were cut, they were lifted up in a way that created a crown away from the hole.

I’m sure it was just an anomaly and it will be corrected soon.

First Time Playing

When we reached the turn, we were informed that one of the nines was closed for course maintenance. This resulted in a backup and delay at the start of the back nine. I left without finishing.

Decent course. have played it 5 times and twice I have walked off because of slow play. See marshals out there but they do nothing to speed up pace of play. That just encourages people to play slow. There are a plethora of other places to play that are nicer courses, why do I want to wait all day for an average course?

Improved conditions

I have played Spanish Wells a number of times at this time if the year, However, I found the course to be in much better condition. There was no over seeding of the fairways, and the greens were running at 11. Overall the course was in top shape. Truly enjoyed my round.
