Rating 73.6

Located in the heart of southwest Florida, Spanish Well Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs offers 27 holes of championship golf amidst towering stands of palms and pines. The holes are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/East Course combines the longest of the three nines. Water characterizes the golf course, coming into play on nearly every hole. There are also strategically placed bunkers and a few tricky doglegs to watch out for. The layout presents a challenging, but fair test. The golf course finishes with one of the club's prettiest holes, a par 4 with mature trees that run along the entire right side of the fairway until they reach the lateral water hazard. Past the bunkered green, the clubhouse and the colorful surrounding flowerbeds serve as the backdrop.

Above expectations

We played East/North and loved the layout, conditions, deal price, and staff.
Staff greets you in the parking lot with cart, handle clubs, towels and explanations of the course, amenities and all. We loved it so much we are looking at possibility moving there as we love Bonita Springs.

Keep in your rotation

We have a condo in the Bonita Springs area and spend 6-8 weeks there. We have rotated through most of the public/ public-private courses in the Naples/Estero/Ft Myers area. While Tiberon is our favorite, for 25% of the cost Spanish Wells is a good track to keep in the mix. We played North/South- with a notable difference in the tight layout of North. South was more playable and enjoyable. Will try East next. Greens rolled well, fairways in good shape. Check in staff awesome.

Love it!

Have no complaints - course played was East 9 holes then North 9 holes. Fairways we’re all in excellent shape as well as the greens.
Greens were super fast but we haven’t had rain in many weeks.
We really enjoyed playing here and will play again.

Had fun playing this course!

I had never played this course before. The conditions were decent and the fairways rolled nicely. Although the courses were rated higher than the courses I usually play, I thought they were much friendlier and I played well on them. We played the South and East courses. The starter was able to get us off a bit earlier than our tee time. The pace was a bit slow, but not bad. I would come back!
