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.

Not in great shape

We played the Savannah‘s today. The employees were great. They’re undergoing significant renovations, painting things like that right now. The layout isn’t bad but the condition of some of the tea boxes in fairways were pretty rough. The greens were very, very slow and not the best shape.

Beautiful coarse, great vibe

Challenging fun layout, makes you think about going for the gusto. Brought out the best in my game in all facets. My son broke 90 for the first time at the ripe age of 12. Couple of draw backs, coarse had big puddles all over and it hadn’t rained in 16 hours before round, also had some big brown spots throughout the coarse. Overall I rate it a 9 my son says 10 lol!
