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.

Tricky course - fun to play
The course is short but tricky and quite interesting. Condition is not so good but for the price good value for money.we had a burger on the terrace after the round. Nice burger at a good price and very good and friendly service.
Enjoyable
Needs work on some of the fairways and most of the tee areas. Greens were in good shape.
We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Booked online with golfnow for a threesome at $23 each. They charged my playing partners $27 each and when I said I booked for $23 they asked me to prove it. I had the e-mail so I got the rate. This is not the first time they did not honor a GolfNow rate. I live 5 minutes from the course but will likely not play again because of the new management that is not very customer friendly.

What a riot!
The course keeps you on your toes with many exciting fun shots. It is a good choice to play if you are about to travel and play new courses. The variety of challenges will prepare you nicely. The green were terrific and the staff superb. If there has to be a negative, I would say the fairways are a bit hard. This course has improved immensely since it was one of the county courses and is by far the best course today for what used to be the county courses which included the Habitat and Spessard Holland. Can't wait to go back!
Thank you for the excellent 5-Star review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the course conditions and our great amenities Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
