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
poorly maintained / overpriced
The course is generally under mowed / Trimmed. The fairways are in several areas are either mud or bog like. greens poorly maintained. The staff was the only saving grace here, they were professional, energetic and engaging.
blind shots
I was lucky to be paired with 3 gentlemen that had played the course before. Many blind shots and lots of water. Nice layout. Front 9 is shot makers and back 9 is a little more wide open.
Course is always wet.
Water
Water on every hole....excellent course.
Savannahs
The course is in very good condition. Play pace was excellent, and accommodations were very good. They have new carts, and the greens are fast.
Highly recommended.
Course is always muddy
Front nine is very tight with lots of water. Back nine is better layout.
Bring towels as you will be cleaning your ball after every shot. Course does not drain properly.
Challenging layout with a lot of nature to see too
Good course with much improved greens from a couple of years ago when I last played here. There were quite a few soft areas even though it has been a week since the last rain. Overall a nice course to play.
Wet
The course was wet lots of rain before I played
I would like to play again when it's dryer. The he greens were in good shape
Lots of water around
Nice course, good chalenge, staff very nice ... I will go back.
this course is interesty
the grass's quality in medium but i like play at this course
Good course for the money
Some fairways are a little rough and are definately ground under repair. Greens ran medium to fast.
Rough cut low but thick.
Nice people and facility.
Somebody jumped ahead of us and proceeded to hack us to slow
Pace of play.
Overcast and cooler day made for nice round.
Play there often when price/time right.
Recommend to others for low price round on medium rated course.
Worth the drive from Orlando, if you don’t mind a simple place with a good course.
This is a very interesting course, especially on a windy day. Looks rather short – about 6.400 from the tips – but is on a windy day very tricky. On the 7th hole you need a good drive with around 200 yards carry over a lake – almost always against a strong wind. If you don’t make it, don’t waste any next balls, there is a drop area just behind the lake… Fairways have some spots without grass and some bunkers are not in best shape. But the greens are mostly in very good condition and have a good speed.
Overall – this is a funny course, interesting because of the need of precise shots and the wind. Very low rates. No special service, but staff is friendly.
Fun course
Scenic course! Worth playing!
Friendly staff and a beautiful area . Paid 30$ for 2 with cart and it was a great choice .
Has Potential
Booked through GolfNow for a great price after hearing from a local that it's a "great course". Greens are decent and fairly fast, while fairways tend to have some rough spots scatered throughout. It appears that the heavy rains earlier in the year coild be the culprit. Given some time and TLC, the course should bounce back nicely.
Whay we didn't know by booking through GolfNow was that a girls HS golf match teed off at 0800 and backed up our scheduked starting time by roughly 45 min. With no course marshall to keep things moving, a threesome and two twosomes in front of our foursome slowed play considerably and made it a very long round. Would play again if in the area and hope for better playing conditions on the course.
Course condition is improving
Nice course for a county owned course. Good value in the off season
Rude staff and poorly maintained course
Staff was extremely rude and they fairways were crab grass and mud. I quit after 7 holes
Nice course
Nice course. I met a baby alligator on the course looking at my golf ball.
target course
Lots of water but manageable. Fast greens. Friendly staff.
Savannah's
The Florida heat kept most golfers at home, I guess, because it was wide open. Nobody in front or behind us all day. The course is being maintained better!!!
Cart path only
Very nice layout, course was very wet on front 9. Greens put better than they look.
Awesome
I had a great time playing at this amazing course. Thank you golf now for making the price very affordable...
