The Savannahs Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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
Tight little course
The course was in really good shape. Some of the greens could have been kept up a little better, but really nice for a municipal course. Fairways were in excellent condition. This course, like most FL courses is covered in water, which I donated my fair share of balls to!
Savannahs golf course
Some fairways are not in good shape. Looks like fairways and tee boxes need new grass. Greens are in good shape.
Dear Frankdur13,
Thanks for taking the time to give us a review. The greens have definitely come a long way and we are proud of the product. We have been working diligently to repair the weaker areas in the fairways. We made some tremendous progress last growing season and have a plan ready to roll out this spring to continue with the repairs. Hope to have you back out soon and thanks for your business.
This course was oK.
I like this course because it is quite (natural) and the fairways are fair.
Greetings Roberto,
Thanks for the 4 star review. We hope to have you back out the next time your back in the states!
Mike in the Pro Shop was Outstanding!
I tried to book on line - Golf Now...the web site wasn't working. I tried to call the golf course, that is almost impossible, I got transferred to a call center....told them the problem. Zero help and I had to pay full price not the web discount. Play was slow and the starter jammed a rookie threesome in front of us...very frustrating. My only good experience was Mike in the Pro shop...first class.
Dear Leschannell,
We are very sorry that your booking experience was so difficult. I will be sure to pass along your experience to our partners over at GolfNow. We do not have anyone working in the shop named Michael, but we do have a Max. Max is one of the many Savannahs employees that put the customer first on a day to day basis. I would love to discuss your experience in further detail if you would give me that priviledge. I can be reached at ssoluri@savannahsgolf.com. If I dont hear from you, thanks for your business and we hope to see you again. - Scott Soluri Operations Manager
Nice place to play
Nice friendly people who care about you're experence. Place of play for 18 holes was less than 4 hours. (Great)
No problem coming to play again.
Dear Thomas,
Thanks so much for your kind words. We try very hard to make every guest experience a memorable one and it looks like our team hit a home run with you! We appreciate your business and we will see you back out at the Savannahs real soon!
Worth every Dollar
Excellent Course. We had a lot of fun. Perfekt shape
We'll play that course again for sure.
Greetings usgolf2211!
5 star reviews are what we strive for and we cant thank you enough for taking the time out of your day to leave us one. Your business is appreciated and we hope to have you back out on the gem of Merritt Island real soon!
This course needs lots of TLC.
Starting at the practice chipping area, the was alot of weed infiltration on the chipping green making for inconsistant results. The greens very inconsistant, putts all wabbled and bounced making one putts a reward for luck rather than skill. They are in need of rolling and verticut. Bunkers were poor condition with rocks and need sand added. Pond edges had much gunk and algae making it impossible to retrieve balls "barely trickled in" so if your swing is not well oiled, prepare to spend golf balls and money.
This course is just not worth the fees paid.
Dear goodstick,
It looks like your experience at the Savannahs was less than desired and for that we are truly sorry. The course has come leaps and bounds over the past year and we are making improvements on a daily basis. Verticutting is scheduled for early spring and we are actually adding new material to bunkers this coming week. We thank you for your business and we hope to have you back out the next time your in town so you can see the continual progress we are making. Please contact me directly when you are in town again - Scott Soluri, Operations Manager

Greetings hneely,
Thanks for taking the time to give us a 4 star review. We appreciate your business and we hope to see you back out at the Savannahs real soon.
sjpineault
a little windy and the course was a bit wet making
the green approaches more challenging but otherwise
pretty good. pace of play a bit slow and no emenities
except for hot dogs and chips.
Dear Sjpinault,
Thanks for your 4 star review and we are very sorry the weather did not cooperate with you on your day of play. We are working very hard to get more food service available for our golfers. We hope to have you back out soon.
rainy day
First 6 holes were dry and breasy, got caught on #7 with the rain and had to call it a day. The staff gave us a rain check, and we look forward to playing the savannahs again.
Greetings Herc640,
Sometimes mother nature just does not understand that we have a tee sheet full of golfers on the days she wants to water the course! Thanks for your business and we are happy you will be returning with a rain check. All sunshine and blue skies......we promise!
Course good for relaxing round
The course was not in the best condition. Layout challenging on the front nine with narrower fairways. Would not play often but good for a warmup round.
My name is Scott and I am the Operations Manager at the Savannahs golf course. I would love the opportunity to discuss your experience and have you back to play.
Very nice and peaceful I shot terrible and still enjoyed the course and layout
One of my favorite courses...until$$$
This has always been one of my go to courses but with the giant price increase-even with the discount card-I've had to look elsewhere like turtle creek. The one complaint I've always had was to put some real sand in the bunkers instead of the rock hard florida marl. They are making some much needed improvements.
Best Round Yet!
Having played previously, I never finished 18 due to traffic pile up on the 12th hole. Joined up with one of the club's starters playing on his day off with his friend and played one of the best rounds of the winter so far. Greens were perfect, fairways good & bunkers looked average, never had to hit out of any and the weather perfect.
Great course
Love layout, always friendly staff! Course really dry, ball runs forever, greens don't hold. Hate washrooms on course, a decent o need would be nice ,!!
