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
Municipal Course
Course was in poor shape.
Golf cart pavement was worse than driving on the grass.
The electric fence for the golf cart was over reactive to the boundaries. The cart was pretty much a roll I ng advertisement that was un enjoyable.
I would rather play a 200.00 course and enjoy it than this place again.
Windy day
Paired with another single and a twosome from the Philadelphia area. Good group of guys. Windy, cloudy day, so playing conditions were challenging. Course conditions were okay at best. Greens were were pretty good for the most part. Fairways had lots of bare spots and weeds. Tee boxes were okay. Course has lots of water, and lots of gators, so bring an extra sleeve or two. Staff was very nice and helpful. Cart girl was a plus and friendly. With a hot deal and an extra 30% off my round was around $35, which is what the course is worth, in my opinion. Would play again with the same deal but not at their regular price, unless course conditions improve.
Good value; challenging course
Very nice course with friendly staff. Plenty of water and frequent 'gators. Pay attention to the yardage book (from the pro shop) to stay out of trouble. Only quibble? The cart computer might lock up on you without warning and without any way of exiting the (unmarked) areas that trigger it. A frustrating distraction. That said, I recommended the course and look forward to my next round there.
A well organised and nice round of golf
Don’t be afraid of the gators. They don’t bite.
A nice course. We played as a 4some. Two juniors, two adults. Played the tips as the yardage was relatively short. In general the place was in good shape. Some wider fairways which helped in the wind. The greens generally in good shape. Not terribly difficult greens. Some more complex than others.
Enjoyed the layout, wildlife and amenities. Small gators trying to warm up on a cooler day.
Turn off the noise on the GPS!
GPS system has advertisements that make loud noise alerts all day!! Annoying!!
Conditions were average on the course.
Nice course
Fairways are a bit dried out but greens and tee boxes are very nice
One of the Better Courses Around
Course was in pretty decent shape. Greens were very good, fairways were pretty decent and the tees weren't too bad. Course has been under new management for a couple of months and it looks like they are working on improving quite a few things. Nice to see some of the bad carts paths have been patched to eliminate the bumps. Still don't understand why they reversed the nines...but it is what it is. Well worth playing. Only annoyances are the ads on electronic yardage screens in the carts and the fact that you still can't take carts out to your car.
Great course-must play!
Jim in the pro shop is amazing! He helped us with a terrific set of rental clubs and gave us pointers about the course (front 9 vs back 9). The pace of play was terrific and the layout makes this course very enjoyable to play.
Interesting
Of 18 holes, 14 have water. Some tricky holes and then some great driving long par 5's. Great wildlife viewing. Nice clubhouse with good food..
