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.

Gréât course vers challenging
Great course very challenging and lot of water and narrow fairways
I will not hurry back.
This course was in poorer condition than other public ones I've played recently - fairways were thin with many large burned out areas. Greens were good but slower than most and somewhat inconsistent. Yardage markings were sparse so you often had no idea what to hit. The front nine was by far the more difficult with water on every hole and very narrow fairways and landing areas. My score was 10 strokes less on the back.
It is a scenic and challenging layout.
The staff were friendly and accomodating. The course was in good condition and the wildlife was abundant. We really enjoyed it.I have played the course a number of times and have yet to be disappointed with anything.
Very Nice County Course
I've played this course many times and have always enjoyed it. The course is well maintained and the greens roll nice. There are five sets of tees to choose from so it is fun for any skill level of player. They also have free range balls at the starters shed. There is plenty of water on this track so bring your "A" game or plenty of balls. Golfnow has about the best rate you will find for this or any other of the Brevard County Courses. ENJOY!
Course is nice
The staff needs to take classes on dealing with the public and properly ringing up GOLF NOW discounts! Staff employees work for county and must hate there jobs. Enough Said
This course has a nice layout
Fairways and greens are in somewhat rough shape. I would not want to play this course for the standard price of $40-$50 that you would have to pay without a discount.
The course played wet, and had some holes really needing work.
The Savannas people are really great and friendly. Accomodating about teeing off, pro shop, and diner were all well done. Cart girl was nice.
The course played very wet in a dry time. plugged and muddy balls were common.
Holes 2-3-and 5 need repair on the right side where the course is hard and no grass. Shots landing 30 yards into the fairway run wildly into the trees on the right. Totally unfair.
One group held things up two groups ahead. 2 holes behind and no ranger to help.
Nice Challenge for Duffers
Great value for the price, lots of water to challenge your drive, course in good shape for a county course, very accommodating staff. Prices at restaurant a tad expensive.
This course has lots of water.
I enjoyed playing this course. I did lose one ball. My playing partner was not so lucky as he lost more than 2 sleeves into water hazards.I like playing fast but was paired with players who weren't very good. This course is not for golfers who are directionally challenged.
This well maintained course has wider fairways or landing areas. The marsh areas and water hazards will effect your play . Play your limitations.
Choose your clubs, use the center of the fairways, have fun & enjoy the surroundings. The 10/15 yard edges of the fairways tend to slope towards out of bounds or water areas.
Play the course conservative and within your limitations. The course is more friendly if you remain in control. For the great gunners that go for it..... the course will start to play real hard and you will loose more than your share of balls.
This is a course you should come back and play. It take 2 or 3 times to settle down and get comfortable. The course is challenging, but once you get adjusted to it...You will enjoy it.
Savannahas Golf winter
The golf course was in good shape. Some of the fairways had bare spots, but they were mostly good. Greens were in great shape and rolled smooth. I booked on MLK day without knowing and it was very slow. I have not played here before but I had heard it plays fast. Staff was friendly, but there was no beverage cart which suprised me on such a busy day. The course requires accurate drives and punishes you for missing the green on wrong side. Lots of tees so you can chose the right yardage for your game.
Nice course to play
Played 18 on Thurs. Jan.17. Windy day, so, seemed to lose more golf balls than I usually do. This course has the water and woods to capture those wind blown strays. The fairways run in and about a subdivision with streams, ponds and woods to enhance view and the game. The fairways were suffering 'bald' spots here and there to cause a few blurps in the roll of the ball. The greens were very nice, but, a little on the slow side. The pace of play was fine and we enjoyed our outing at this course. The pro shop is adequate and they have a nice '19th' hole with good food and fairly priced drinks. 6-7 regular flat screen tvs and 1 very large one to watch the pros play golf while enjoying food, drink and conversation with your group.
Lots of water
Think before grabbing the driver, a tactical course.
Greens were in excellent condition.
Beautiful course, fun to play.
Challenging course with lots of water.
Fairways and greens were in great condition. Some fairways are low and are very sloppy wet. But still fun to play
overall pretty good track
It rained the day before so the course was very wet. (cart path only). The greens were in great shape but a tad slow, most fairways in great shape except for patches of soggy grass areas
Golf Now experience
You web and reservation system was terrific to use.
Only because i received a good price on Golfnow.com
Greens were in great shape and some of the fairways were in good condition. Many of the fairways were mud and it was cart path only even with very minor rain the week prior to play. Local course, not bad for a Sunday afternoon.
Course was not in good condition.
It was extremely wet on the course, and there hadn't been much rain recently. From what I heard from other players, it had been like this for several months. Greens were in fine shape, but there is obviously a drainage issue here.
Challenging course, women friendly!
Totally enjoyed our day on the Savannahs golf course. The price reduction makes it even better. We intend to go back whenever we can get a good deal.
