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.

Beautiful coarse, great vibe

Challenging fun layout, makes you think about going for the gusto. Brought out the best in my game in all facets. My son broke 90 for the first time at the ripe age of 12. Couple of draw backs, coarse had big puddles all over and it hadn’t rained in 16 hours before round, also had some big brown spots throughout the coarse. Overall I rate it a 9 my son says 10 lol!

Kids Tournament

Felt a little misled on booking this round. Saw the Hot Deal for 16.99 and jumped at it. Got there early because in the past this course has always been good about letting you tee off early if it's slow. When I got there was informed that there was a kids tournament going on. Had a 5:00 PM tee time and the starter told me that he probably couldn't let me tee off at that time because the tournament was going slower than expected. Didn't tee off until 15 minutes past the scheduled time. By that time there were 5 other groups lined up for their tee time. Rushed the first couple of holes just to help out the starter. Slowed it down after getting some separation from the group behind me but STILL caught up with the last group of 8 year olds in the tournament. Skipped holes 8 and 9 since the kids were only playing the front 9. Once I got on the back 9 I could fully enjoy the great conditions at a leisurely pace. This is a very good course with a challenging set up and an abundance of wildlife. Highly recommend........just not on days they have tournaments.
