there are very inexpensive hole saw sets available at places like harbor freight. These have a drill bit in the middle with a large disk above the bit into which you fit cylindrical blades of different sizes.
the drill bit protrudes more than do the blades so you start each hole with the bit and drill down till the cylindrical saw blade goes through the work piece. With soft wood there'd be little need for a pilot hole unless you need the holes in very exact places. However with the hole saw you do sometimes have to remove the drilled out plug from inside the saw blade after each hole. The spade bits are not good for going entirely through the wood unless you go part way through and flip the work to finish from the other side. with either tool, of course, keep hands away from the tool while spinning. I'd use the hole saw my self.
