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
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.
Savannah’s
Nice layout, course was in good shape after a significant storm. Greens were smooth & fast. Great bargain! Lots of water & wildlife - gators, turtles, lots of birds including our national mascot - bald eagles.
Savannah's
Love the course design. Some great holes, some challenging shots, and a lot of fun always. The staff there is great as well.
