Space Coast Golf Club
About
Challenge the Savannahs. On the windward side of Merritt island lies one of the most unique golf courses on Florida's Space Coast. The 6,450 yard Gordon G. Lewis design winds through majestic hardwood forests, natural wetlands, and scenic lakes to reveal protected, undulated greens. Nine holes are framed by a natural savannah conservation area, bordered by hammocks with a high canopy of trees and coastal flatwoods. Water, in the form of natural wetlands and manmade lakes, comes into play on thirteen holes. The course boasts several unforgettable holes, such as the 525-yard, par 5 Signature 7th, regarded as one of the most challenging holes in Central Florida. This beautifully tight, typically southern course features six sets of tees, making play ideal for beginners and pros. The back tees are demanding even for the best of the best, while our new “Family Tees” are playable by anyone who wants to tee up. Prepare for your round by warming up on our practice facilities that include: unique aqua range, chipping and bunker area, and full-sized practice putting green. Look around during your visit, and you will notice nature's splendor on display. Our preserve features many water birds, birds of prey, reptiles, and low country mammals that make the savannahs their home. The fairways additionally offer a great view of the nearby Cape Canaveral rocket launches. Our southern plantation styled Clubhouse is a great place to start and end your day at The Savannahs. Inside you will find a golf shop, plus a bar and grill with great food and hospitality to match. Or, wander outside to the veranda overlooking the aqua range and golf course to catch the sunset.

Golfer Reviews
Great value
I have read a lot of reviews trashing this course. Yes the fairways have some bare spots and almost half of the tee boxes are in rough shape, but overall this is a great course. First of all the staff is exceptionally friendly. Being a first time customer, they were very helpful and gave me a lot of information on the course. It is a challenging course with narrow fairways and a LOT of water. It is a very pretty course with an abundance of wildlife. Best of all, the twilight rate is only $17. I have no idea what some people are griping about.
Shockingly poor condition
I have played this course probably 50 plus times over the last twenty years but I have not played it in probably five years. The course is in terrible shape. The tee boxes are all crowned and mostly dirt and weeds with some grass. The fairways are about the same with a lot of dirt and not a lot of grass. The best grass on the entire place is on the greens with one problem........they are same thickness that the fairways should be. You have to hit the ball like you are putting from 30 feet in order to get it to the hole on a 10 foot put. I was just really shocked at what poor shape the course was in. I thought it was odd that we pulled up on a Friday morning and there were only four or five cars on the parking lot and we only saw two other groups on the course when we teed off. I know there has been a lot of turnover here with management over the years but with this shape, I'm surprised they can even stay open. They could drop the price to ten dollars and the frustration still wouldn't be worth it. Don't waste your time.
Decent course on Merrit Island
Was looking for a decent course in the Cocoa Beach area and had read mixed reviews on the course.
Very windy conditions although being a bit sheltered inland helped. Lots of water and tight fairways. The greens had been recently sanded and were a bit rough in spots. They need to get the weeds off the greens. Some wet areas from recent rain, but not a bad experience overall. Would like to see more fairway grass but that will come hopefully in the weeks ahead. One foursome held up three groups behind and no Marshal to move them along. 4 1/2 hours which seemed longer as the back nine dragged on.
Andrew at the reception desk made the rain dance and we were able to play our 18 holes without rain as promised. We really enjoyed our game.
Good Value
I felt like the deal we got on this course was a really good value. The greens are a bit sorry but the course was lovely and a bit tight. We enjoyed our round immensely.
Disappointed with condition
Have played this course many times in the past. Always had a nice time playing here and course used to be fairly well maintained. Since turning the course over to the homeowners it has taken a turn for the worse. Extremely poor maintenance if any at all. Greens were terrible with weeds growing on them and lack of grass. Fairways were also weedy , wet and cart ruts all over them. Tee boxes were fair. Would not return until they fund there maintiance account and hire a good company to manage the course.
Andrew was very nice when I arrived at the counter of the departures. The starter acknowledged us on a friendly manner and the pace of the play was excellent.
Great course
Great golf course with different and tricky holes. Had a lot of fun playing this course. Staff is really friendly. You defenitley Need a lot of balls especially on the First nine
Course wet
This is my favorite course.They say that they wouldn’t be on golf now anymore because of problems with Golfnow hope this can be fixed.I enjoy playing here but will go elsewhere for better price.
