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.

Savannahs a Pleasure to Play

Haven't played Savannahs in a while but certainly glad I did. Course is in very good condition with a great layout. Lots of wildlife on the course is an added plus. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

A morning at Savannah

The staff is professional and friendly from bag drop to clubhouse to starter to cart cleaning.

It was busy but reasonable for pace of play and was never pushed from behind. It is a good value and a challenging course. I recommend this course!

if it wasn’t for the good price it wouldn’t be worth it to play there. The course is unkempt, the fairways are horrible and there are many marks not repaired on the greens

A fun day

Course was a little wet considering the rain all week. The pace of play bogged down to a crawl. I guess to be expected was a weekend.

Good value.

We had looked at the course a few years ago and decided to play it next time we were in the area. We were pleased we could get a good tee time, the weather cooperated, and all went well.

We'll be back!

Funky Layout

Problem with this course is that some holes are short and some are target golf and long. This holds up play. Played on a Friday and it was foursome after foursome. Busy place. Lots of water and doglegs. Probably very nice in summer.

Tough course with beautiful surroundings

If you are up for the challenge The Savannah’s Club is worth taking a swing at. Plenty of water carries. Sharp doglegs, bunkers and unforgiving out of bounds add to the challenge. Course is in good not great shape. Flags posted to designate hidden water hazards - and there are plenty. Not a long course - but lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Staff was great. Carts were comfy and GPS really came in handy.
