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.

Not bad but annoying

The carts will lock out and force you to reverse when it doesn’t make sense. They also periodically make a loud ding and give you advertisements. A couple of greens were in rough shape.

Improving

New ownership is doing a good job bringing the course back. It was neglected the last couple of years. I played after a long dry spell and all was well but in the past this course had some soggy areas after some rains. Will try it again after some rain

Space Coast Golf Club – A One of a Kind Golfing Experience With an Out of This World Setting

Space Coast Golf Club brings something to the table that no other course in Florida can claim — a view of NASA and the launch pad sitting right on the horizon as you play your round. It is the kind of backdrop that stops you mid-swing just to appreciate how unique and genuinely cool the setting really is. For any golf and space enthusiast alike, this course checks a box that simply cannot be checked anywhere else.

The course itself holds its own without leaning entirely on its remarkable surroundings. The fairways and greens were in solid, well-maintained condition throughout the round, making for a consistent and enjoyable playing experience from start to finish. The tee boxes showed some wear and could use a bit of attention, but nothing that significantly impacted the overall enjoyment of the round.

The layout flows well and presents a fair challenge suitable for a wide range of skill levels. Much like Lake Worth Beach, this is a course that welcomes beginners and experienced golfers alike without ever feeling intimidating or overly punishing.

Now, let us talk about the hat. Walking into the pro shop and discovering the Space Coast Golf Club merchandise was a highlight in itself. The logo features an astronaut swinging a golf club, and it is hands down one of the coolest golf hat logos you will ever come across. It is the kind of logo that makes you reach for your wallet without hesitation, and I walked out proudly wearing mine. Absolutely worth picking one up while you are there.

Overall: A solid, well-maintained course elevated by an unforgettable setting and arguably the coolest logo in golf.

Space Coast Golf Club is a must-play for anyone traveling through the area. The NASA views alone make it worth the trip — but the course, the atmosphere, and that hat will keep you talking about it long after the round is over.

Space Coast Golf

The course has stayed static since the last ownership change. The greens are slowly improving but they need to concentrate on getting the invasive grass out of the greens

Go somewhere else

Unfortunately, it’s just not worth it. I’ve played this course four different times and have never had a good experience. Despite the change in ownership, nothing has improved. This was my first visit back since the switch, hoping for a better outcome, but the cost has increased, the pace of play remains very slow, and the overall atmosphere is unwelcoming EVERY TIME by other golfers. Taken together, it makes for a disappointing experience. I would much rather play elsewhere in Brevard County.

Conditions a lot worse since few years ago

Similar conditions to cocoa beach country club. Probably not worth the play if you’re experienced golfer who likes nice course. Slow greens don’t roll pure and super patchy with dead spots. Just gotta fluff your lie in fairway and rough. If you’re okay with poor condition but relatively cheap and in local area, you could play it.
