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
Real good course nice people. Front nine is interesting and chalanginh.
Good value
Played this course for the first time. Met some friends and this place was midway between. The course was a great value. It was nicely laid out. While there is a lot of water it doesn't always come into play. The facilities were good; lite concession. Staff very courteous and helpful. We agreed we would play there again. Local knowledge is helpful.
Beautiful course
Great layout lots of water on front 9, none on back. Nice selection of tees to make it a challenge for all skill levels. Great setting in an upscale neighborhood.
Wet conditions
Played after a heavy rain, so the course was very wet .unfortunately, I wasn't paired up with a four sum in front and back.
Nice course for the value
Everything great except they loaded the course. Waited every shot on the second nine we played and it was not just one group ahead of us
Greens are thin and patchy
Overall the course is in okay shape. Greens and tee boxes were a little rough. Muddy in some spots. Challenging layout, especially on the front. Pace of play was good. 4 hour round for a 10am tee time. Would play again for the right price.
42+43=85
Tough course, tight , lots of water . If you don’t like a challenge I wouldn’t play here. Greens are in great shape, fairways are not. It’s a target course and I hope to get back to play it again.
Wet Day
Great long course, But very wet after 2 hrs of heavy rain.
Wet conditions
Unfortunately we played just after a heavy rain.
The course was quite wet.
Slow play
Very busy the morning I played. 4.5 hour round. Course is in good shape. Staff is great. Goofy layout.
This course has interesting holes.
Liked the different type holes. A rocket launched as we were playing. Nice view from course.
Great course on a perfect day
Always fun at the savannahs. Great staff, great instruction, beautiful course.
