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.

Ok to play

After reading reviews it's good to see improvement are being made. Course has a good layout, challenging from back tees and fair from the fronts. Will check them out when coming back thru next year.

Waiting for improvements

Ended up in a 'bunker' today on #18.

Hardpan, stones, & weeds.....NO SAND YET. Brevard county spends millions maintaining beach sands. How about a load dropped off at the county golf course???

And will the cart paths EVER be repaired?

In spite of these aggravations, I still love golfing here.

Bad shape!

The course was in horrible condition. I get that we haven’t had much rain but I’m not sure it would have helped. Not worth the money.

Ok for the hot deal price.

The course isn't as nice as it was a couple years ago. The fairways had many bare areas, greens were ok. The pro shop was not friendly at all almost rude. I'm glad I had a hot deal made it about the right price.

Keeps improving

I emptied the two sand dispensers on the front nine so I could not fill digits on the back nine. You need to have fresh dispensers at the turn on number 9 like you use to.....
