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.

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.

awful experience - very slow

Have been here numerous times. I found out that when the busy season starts, the pace becomes super slow. I played here twice for the last week. Every singe hole there are 4 carts awaiting to tee up ! I am not sure why they made the tee time so tight. When i finished the first round I complained to the staff about the pace, a yonge man showed up from the back office and started to argue with me that he thinks everything is totally fine, II can’t believe the attitude he has! It is ok i don’t have to play here, so I didn’t play the second round. They could have planned better when busy season starts.

Challenging for a Novice Golfer

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. However, it was challenging, largely due to not being familiar with every hole. Some holes had 90 degree dog legs, but without knowing that, I didn't know to hit an iron off the tee rather than a driver..

People were VERY kind and helpful before starting. I'll definitely be back.

Nice course

The course was in great shape even after the current storms we had blow through SWFL. The greens were excellent. Everyone i came in contact with at the course were very friendly and helpful.

I would recommend and play this course again.

Friendly staff.

The course was a little wet but greens were in very good condition. The staff in the club house was friendly and very helpful. The starter and the bag drop attendant was great and very knowledgeable. Fun course. 7th hole needs to be revamped. But overall fun. I would absolutely play it again and for the price it’s worth it The cart girl came around several times to assure we have something to drink as well. She was also very friendly.

Tough time to play

Played here enough to know what course is like. So much rain in SWFL that lot of holes were CPO and really wet. No one’s fault at all. Played as a 2 some and had 4 hacks in 3 carts in front of us which made the pace of play on 1st 9 painfully slow.

Staff and personnel here are always friendly and outgoing which is why we like to play. Looking forward to our next round
