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
Water Everywhere, Even the Sky
My wife and I played here last year and fondly remembered the scenic and nature-filled fairways. However, we forgot about the numerous water hazards. This came back to bite us after bragging to the other family members in our foursome about the "open fairways and natural beauty" surrounding the course. Each of us lost numerous balls in creeks and ponds, tall brush, and trees that paralleled a couple of fairways.
As we approached the 4th green we were slowed by a brief thunderstorm. However, we completed our round in under 4 hours - a testimony to exceptional drainage and the fact that we were the only ones left except for a lone duffer who played through us twice on his way to completing 36 holes.
There was a confusing moment as we finished #5 and headed for the #6 tee. It's not well marked, and once you're on the cart path the signage has you heading down an adjoining fairway. We finally found it but there could be better directions for out-of-town guests.
Overall it was an enjoyable, albeit high-scoring round for everyone. We will be back, but on a dryer day.
Bring your A Game!
First time playing the course. Made the mistake of not warming up. Lots of water requires accuracy off the tee. Layout has many challenges that require good placement on the fairways. Greens recently spiked and rolled at an acceptable level. Several ground under repair areas. Clubhouse is sort of plain but in good shape. I'll be back after some time on the practice range!
Another nice golf round
Different wind different course like most around brevard.I like the challenge here.. It's feast or double..Fun day of golfing and it's so quiet here, no highway noise or planes just birds and gators..
Good not great
Enjoyed this course. Greens were good. Fairways were good . Layout was challenging. Played for $24 with cart. Several groups let me play through. Played in 2 1/4 hr.
Savanah's - after big storm
The course was quite wet - front nine - due to a storm the night before - probably why the greens were quite long and shaggy, very slow. Cart paths only but managed to play a twosome in 3.5 hrs with a little bit of wait after catching a 4 some. Played white tees due to the wet conditions. We both played well so that colored our opinions somewhat. Rained a little on hole 2 but after that was a great day on the course. Front nine a challenge due to the water left and right and front but back nine is more traditional with some wide open fairways on half the holes.
Great Round
I was invited to play with local golfer and fishing guide Captain Rick Worman who displayed the southern hospitality I’ve come to enjoy all over Florida. Check him out and this course for a great time.
Layout had water on almost every hole fairways were tight. Rough and fairways basically the same. Greens were in good shape you could tell they took care of them. Hard to control ball because it was so windy that once your ball got above tree line it was hard to tell what your ball would do. Sometimes it would carry and other time no carry. Wind would take your ball right out of play and if you tried to play the wind sometimes ball would break and other times nothing. Course in general not that impressive. I’m a 12 handicap and I thought it was a hard day out there because of the wind mostly. Overall course not in bad shape.
Very good course with lots of water
Very good cours design with above average water need lots of balls
Thank you for the 5-Star review! Please come back and see us again soon.
Good Course, Great Pace
Nice course with one of the better practice facilities in the area. Played on the Sunday of a long weekend and got around in 4 hours. Very good value and I recommend it.
Wet course!
This course is very wet, ball plugged on every shot. It seems to be set in wetlands all around with very poor drainage, it is like playing on a wet sponge.
Very busy day, not sure if it is like that all the time, no ranger to move people along. tees can be better, fairways are wet, some naked areas, greens were slow and bumpy, can use a cut and roll.
Even the attendant in the pro-shop seemed to have an issue with the price i paid for golf, not sure the exact problem there. I don't mean to be overly negative but there are better courses for the price, I think they can do better.
Thank you for your comments, we appreciate your input. We hope you will return once the course dries out from the 3-4 inches of rain we got at the start of the last week.
water water everywhere and not a ball to be found
This is a challenging course with water all over it....Some you must fly... others around you go. If you miss the grass you are either in the swamps or the canals/lakes. Pace of play had the usual snowbird effect but was not awful.
This is about my 6th round in the last few weeks, all with different players at different courses and overall none of us could putt. Maybe the number of golfers walking on the greens have them flattened and made them hard to read...but no putts are falling anywhere.
Thank you for the 4-Star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your challenging round today. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
