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.

Good Time!
I've played this place a few times. I always enjoy it. Pace of place is little slow or I always get stuck behind someone slow, but other then that it was great. A few of us got paired up and had good time helping each other out. Conditions were pretty good. Wish was some more trimming by the small rivers and such but great value for the money. The restaurant is as good as always. One of the best golf bar restaurants around if you ask me. Can't wait to go back.
Not Too Impressed
The front nine on this course if very difficult with water everywhere. We didn't get to play the backside due to a blitz going off with several players. Not good for first time players! It was their first day with the new GPS on the carts and ours keep shutting down. Fortunately we had a cell phone to call the front desk and get them remotely started again. First time we've ever seen a driving range where you hit your balls in water. My wife and grandson stopped playing because we had to play cart path only and they never told us that we could drive on the fairways. Their AC in the clubhouse was not working nor did they have any food to serve.
Great condition
The course is in good condition they just airated the greens which are in good shape now, the staff is always very friendly.
WOW!!!
Man, I have delayed playing at this place for idk why. Finally played my first Rd and OMG!! I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!! The staff was super friendly and helpful from the start. Great practice range. Relaxed atmosphere all around. I loved the course layout, there were a lot of holes that were just by themselves, it was relaxing. There was a great mixture of water and land. I liked that it was always a get your driver out off the tee, I got to mix up what club I wanted to use. Cart girl was around 3x and fully stocked! They had just aerated the greens but did have that on their booking so I knew before hand. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Afterwards they had a nice restaurant and food was great! Will definitely be making this a regular scheduled program from here on out!
Great course Great Value
I read some negative reviews on this course before playing for the first time yesterday, July 23rd. I'm really glad I ignored the reviews and went to see the course for myself. I've already told a couple golf buddies about it. Yes, the greens are a little furry, but for a reason. They are in great shape and will be able to cut shorter soon, and they will be spectacular when they are cut. For the most part, I found the fairways to be in excellent condition, minus a few rough spots here and there. Loved the layout and the location. There is a lot of water, but it never really came into play with a couple of exceptions. Staff was excellent. Got around in slightly over 4 hours so pace was great. Will be back for sure.
Fun course that makes you use your entire bag
Had a blast playing here. For a busy day and a foursome, single, and threesome in front of us we only found ourselves waiting a couple times. The teeboxes and greens are in the best shape of any course I've played this year. You can't just bust out your driver on any hole that's not a par 3 and I enjoyed that. A course that makes you think.
great course. in excellent condition
Play here regularly. Course is always in good condition. Staff is great
The staff is great 👍 very friendly the course is challenging and fun to play.
Just Ok
Palm frawns were recently trimmed, but all left at the bottom of the palm trees, anything in that vicinity was really unplayable ... fairways are extremely hard, patchy and full of weeds, you're punished just as much in the fairway as in the rough ... I like this course and its layout, it's just really never in good condition ...
Last minute tee time
Pleased with the condition of the coarse. Was slow only because we followed a small tournament. Very helpful to have a GPS because course management is a must
Course is more difficult on front nine and easier on back nine. Fair and challenging. Will definitely play again.
Challenging yet fun course
The course layout is challenging yet fun to play. It does need some work on the cart paths as it’s been under construction for way too long. I would like to see the improvements they are working on continue and be finished. The staff are definitely nice and I enjoy playing here at least once a week.
Great course.
Greens are in great shape, but they are US Open slick. Fun course with several tricky holes. Gem at a great price.
Fast Greens good Course
First time here, got paired with a fun couple we had a good round. Greens hard and fast. Fairways for the most part were in good shape. Some patches, but for this time of year in not bad shape. Friendly staff, would play again especially after grass starts growing in.
