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 Time Visiting The Savannah’s

First time visiting the Savannah course. I found the course to be in very good shape compared to some reviews I read from a couple years ago. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. My friend that was playing with me, sprayed a ball into one of the water hazards on the course, and the Ranger saw this when we were playing and stopped by and gave him a couple extra balls. The beverage cart ladies on the course were also very helpful, came around four times on our 18 holes and the prices were not outrageous like some courses can be. The course is not outrageously long, but if you want to shoot a good score, you need to keep your ball and play. I recommend if you are in the area it’s a fun course to play!

Much improved!

Conditions at the course are much improved and with continued attention to detail it will be a track that is worth playing more than once. Be prepared to lose balls though as this course is tight. One big addition needed is a sign on the 5th hole giving a distance to the hidden water hazard. A simple task which only has to be done once to help all those golfers playing the course for the first time

Thisw is one of the better courses in the beach area of central FL. The staff and course maintainence is very good.

This course is one of the better courses in the East Coast Of Central FL.
The Staff, Maintenance Crew and Restaurant
are efficient, friendly and professional. I have lived in this area & own property in Cape Canaveral for the last 20 Years.
I am lucky to have a great course like Savannah's 15miles from my house..
I enjoy playing this course very much.

Most times hitting off of dirt

Course is not long but has a strategic lay out. However, course conditions were horrible. Practice green should have been warning of dirty patches to follow. Some tee boxes total dirt, most greens had limited grass or bumpy clumps. If you missed a green no rough at all, just low-cut grass. Courses up north are in better shape despite the cold winter.

Needs some investment

Course feels like it used to be a fine track, but investments in maintenance /grounds have dried up...
Staff great, carts great, layout fun, but actual course condition was not up to a municipal course we played last week....

Pleasant Round with 3 Strangers

Enjoyed a 4 hour 15 minute with 3 guys I met on the 1st tee. Considering the weather we've had this winter the course was in very good shape.
