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.

Good Value

It appears from the reviews the staff is working hard to bring this course up a couple of notches. Looks like the bar area is under construction or has been for some time. Still some rough Fairway areas and spots on a couple greens. The golf now Hot Deal is definitely the way to go. Great value. Pace of play was excellent. Overall would definitely play again.

Trying hard

This county course is in a state of change to be kind. The county doesn’t want it, can’t get it off their books. Apparently they don’t understand the basics of running the course either

The greens are pretty decent really fairways aren’t bad. The staff is doing an outstanding job considering what the have to work with- and who they are working for. Priced a little high for the quality of product- still no bar/ restaurant 2yrs. After closing

Getting better

This course has improved significantly over the past year. It has always been a great test of golf, but the course fell on hard times. There has been a revival and my hat is off to the grounds crew. The fairways are significantly improved and the greens although bumpy, were green. The course has houses on some of the holes but most of the course is wooded. There is significant water but smart ball placement helps control he high scores. There are short par 4’s with risk and reward. The cart paths were a little busted up from old trees. Not a lot of amenities as the club house bar is under construction. Water driving range with nice chipping and putting greens. Typically not to busy and I played on Saturday at 11 in under 3 hours. Certainly worth a $25 hot deal. Can be had for $10 in the summer. Will play again.

Pace of play was wonderful, under 4 hours. The course was in fair shape. Tee boxes need to be leveled, greens could be mowed lower. Overall we had a good time. Would play course again.

I LIKE this course!

I try and play this course when I am visiting family in Cocoa Beach. I find it challenging with lots of water with an interesting layout. Staff is outstandingly friendly. I'm a single female and they take care of me in the same respectful way they do the men. The course has had some challenges due to weather and changes in management but is worth a visit. I think the prices are fair.

There is not a place to eat here, they do sell hot dogs, water, soda, and the pro shop is pretty bare.

Water everywhere

The front nine is all water, the back not so much. Water mostly on the sides, but not that many forced carries. The course was a little wet in places and some bare spots in the fairway. Very good pace of play that day, about three & half hours. Overall a good value at $28.00 hot deal.
