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.

First tee on a beautiful Florida winter's day on Merritt Island Photo submitted by sttcapt on 02/13/2017
Thinkers course
I played with two fine gentlemen, Jim and Ernie, who helped advise me around the course. Its not too long but you need to be accurate. Conditions were good even with the greens airated and topped with sand. Great value and the bad reviews must have been from old management.
perfect
Shot my best round of the season. Course was excellent and the staff was friendly helpful. The two big eagles nests on hole 16 added to the great scenes on the course.
Very nice course plenty of water
First time playing this course. Was very pleased plenty of challenges more on front 9. Made a deposit of balls into hazards. I would come back to play this course being now i know it better, 2 holes were confusing on where to go but other than that nice.
Decent day of golf
Overall course conditions weren't bad but the greens were recently aerated and covered in sand. Why would you aerate greens before a holiday weekend?!
Off the path gem
The Savannah's is my favorite course on the Space Coast for both its scenic charm and challenging fairways. The front 9 has water in play all the time. Once reaching the back nine a sigh of relief as the fairways open up and water hazards are reduced. The views of nature are incredible. From alligators to all sorts of birds. As far as value, it's tough to beat. Range balls are included and the staff very accommodating and friendly.
Similar to Lexington Oaks GC, Ridgewood Lakes G&CC, & Turtle Creek GC.
9AM tee time w/ 3 buddies for $19.61/ea thru Golfnow Hot Deal. Interesting, fun & challenging layout. So much water on the course. There are a few holes w/ 2nd shots requiring carry over water. Tee boxes, fairways, & greens plush & immaculate. Greens rolling true & fast. Carts w/ windshield & rain cover. Heard rumors of course may be shutting down. This would be a shame because its a hidden gem. Will definitely return to play again. Oh, the employees are nice & honest. I left my GPS in cart & they found it & held it for me to pick up today.
What a Find !!!
The very best Municipal course I have ever played in Florida.
Greens were very good, tee boxes good, Traps and bunkers good, Fairways very good with a few spots needing but not many. The Staff were pleasant and friendly. I only wish it was closer so I could play it more. Still I will go back and play it again.
Improved conditions
Have played this course the past several years, in April when we visit from Canada. The past couple of years we felt the course conditions had deteriorated but this year, we found the course to be much improved, like they're maintaining much better. This is good because it's always been a fun course to play.
Water Everwhere
Second time playing there, so we had to get revenge on the course for the first time playing there!
Inside staff was rude course was in amazing condition
Great condition however the inside staff was rude and not helpful
Great Surprise
First time playing here, was pleasantly surprised. Easy drive from East Orlando. Pace of play was great for a busy Saturday morning, starter said they had a league and were stuck behind a bunch of foursomes. We were still able to get around in less than four hours. Greens were excellent to putt on, some of the fairways had some ugly areas but as long as you are ok rolling the ball over in your fairway it is well worth it. Will be back sooner then later. Great short course, can play without a driver but you will need to be hitting it straight.
Tougher than it looks
Definitely a challenge for us accuracy challenged golfers. Very few holes allow you to take out your driver if you hit the long ball 270+. Oh and LOTS of water. All that said, it's well maintained and challenging and I'll definitely be back!
Great course, great condition
First time playing this course but was very impressed with the condition of the course, its challenges and the overall friendliness of the staff. I have played about 7 courses in Brevard county and I would place this course with the best of them. We will be back!!!
Very friendly people......not crowded!!
Nice course but a little burned out on fairways. Greens, bunkers in good shape. We played in 3.5 hours on a Monday.......enjoyed that!! We'd come back for sure.
Great course, great condition
Greens were near perfect condition, pace of play was perfect. Will defenitly be back. Challenging course but a lot of fun if you keep the driver in the bag.
Great Savannahs Golf
Course was in great conditions, staff was very friendly and helpful, had a great round of golf. I'll be back!
Good County Course
Greens in good shape and roll true. Some of the fairways need work in areas to keep grass growing. Overall the course is worth the money.
This could be a very nice course with some T.L.C.
Like all fl. Courses want top DOLLAR WITH AVG. or below AVG. Conditions this COURSE IS OVER PRICED
FOR the conditions. They are a long way from EXCELLENT.
Terrible weather
we drove from Orlando area to play and visit with family in the area...it was cold and rain on and off all day. We did do 18 holes as the pace was fast with most people getting off as played in 3 hrs 15 minutes. The greens were in good shape just very slow but due to the weather and fairways we good with some bare spots but I think due to flooding Before. All in all for the cost very good. Bring extra balls as lots of water and areas to lose them
Scenic course
The course was in better shape than the other four courses I have played in this area. Liked the layout and wound definitly would play again.
