Spanish Wells Country Club
Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club, founded 1979, is a semi-private club: the 27 holes (North/South by Gordon Lewis, East by Bruce Howard, playable in three 18-hole combinations) are open to public play, while the 32,000-sq-ft clubhouse, tennis, and fitness facility are reserved for members. It is not an equity club, and offers multiple membership categories (Full Golf Family/Single, Sports, Social, Trial, Executive Full Golf). It sits within a gated, roughly 600-acre, 8-subdivision community; only the Cordova subdivision requires a Club Amenities Membership as a condition of home purchase -- the other 7 subdivisions permit but do not require membership.

What to Independently Verify
This record was corrected this research pass: an earlier version described Spanish Wells as 'members-owned, members-only,' which is inaccurate -- the golf course itself is open to public play; only the clubhouse/amenity side is members-only, and Cordova is the only subdivision where that membership is mandatory. Reported initiation fees and dues conflict significantly across secondary sources (figures ranging from roughly $10,000 to $35,000 initiation across different reports) and were left unresolved rather than picked arbitrarily; Cordova-specific monthly dues are reported at roughly $582 (family) / $400 (single) with a $2,500 transfer fee, but this too should be confirmed directly with the club/HOA for a specific listing.
