The Savannahs Golf Course
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.

First tee on a beautiful Florida winter's day on Merritt Island Photo submitted by sttcapt on 02/13/2017
Decent course
Every hole was limited to car path only because of water build up, and course conditions weren’t the best overall
Downhill
Downhill does not refer to the putt. It refers to the fact that this course, despite the addition of new buggies with GPS is a mess. Greens and tee boxes are a nightmare (greens used to be some of the best in the area). Drainage is a serious problem and many/most fairways are like swamps. Shame. Fairly reasonable green fee, but not worth playing in 90 degree/90 humidity weather. Wait for the winter or early Spring.
Great staff everyone is very friendly and enjoys working together.
Always a great round
Hidden gem of Brevard County. What's up with the 6th green?
Another Hot Round
As a sigle the starter sent me to the back 9. Another single joinen me on 15 where I had caught a foursome finishing their 18. Front 9 was pretty open and total round took about 3 hours.
Nice course for the money!
A few spots on the greens and some fairways with dirt/sand but overall a good experience.
Greens and bunkers need maintennace/work
A lot of the greens were in terrible condition. Not sure how or why the maintenance staff let them get that bad. A lot fo weeds in the bunkers as well. It looked like most of the bunkers were not maintained in some time.
Fast Threesome
Joined a twosome on the 5th hole and we completed my round in under 3 hours. Enjoyed the round with 2 new friends.
Bad Price
Charging this much for a course that needs ALOT of work is criminal. Almost all the greens were in terrible condition. Bunkers were more like concrete and Although i live 5 minutes from the course I will not return until the course is better shape. They spent the money on brand new carts, when they should have spent the money on getting the course in shape.
