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.

Fun course, fast greens

This course is a fun one. It's not long but very playable. The greens are in good shape, some of the fairways need some help but overall, I e seen a lot worse. I will return soon.

Lots of crocs, but a nice course

Going from Orlando to Cape canaveral to watch a launch, The Savannah was a good location to play. Course in great shape. Tee-boxes and fairways in good condition. Greens hard and dry and difficult to read. So that was a nice challenge. A few restrooms were out-of-service. Overall nice course and friendly starter.

Challenging and Fun !

My son and I played here first time today on a recommendation that was very accurate. Afternoon 12noon $35 for 18 holes a great value. Course is very challenging with lots of water and tight shots on front nine. Back nine much less water and mor wide open. You don’t need driver on many holes with shot selection and course management being important. Greens were fast and rolled true. Only negative point, some tee boxes need regrown/re-seeded and maybe leveled off. Otherwise we will be back to play here again ! For sure !

Course offers an enjoyable round of golf.

This was the first time that my wife and I had the chance to play the Savannahs Golf Club. We liked everything about the course. There is plenty of water hazards but fairways are wide enough to avoid them. We will definitely play the course when we are back in Florida. Wildlife on the course was a nice bonus.

Course tee box options fit my wife & my skill level

Very enjoyable afternoon of golf. Course is challenging but fair. Greens were in good condition but rolling fast. Would have liked a sandwich afterwards. Will play the course again when in the area.

Unusual driving range

I can honest say I don't typically hit balls into water.... on purpose, however, the driving range at the Savannahs is just that, into the water. Kinda fun. The course is well marked and easy to get around. There's plenty of water, but again, well marked. It was our first visit and I would certainly play it again.
