Spessard is the most beautiful course in Brevard County! It is challenging but well worth the effort.

Great layout striking views.

Have played Spessard many times and it is always a good experience. Conditions are great, the greens smooth ( if a tad slow), and overall fine. It's amazing considering the dry winter/spring that we've had. Only downside was two couples in front of us with one of the men constantly giving his partner a 'lesson'. Made for a very slow round, for this course, of 4+ hours. Otherwise I would highly recommend Spessard.

Everyone is always so friendly.

I love the lay out of this course. I don't hit the ball as far as I used to, so the shorter course let's me score better. The greens were awesome as always. The fairways we're pretty bare, but we have had such litter rain most all courses we have played are bare.

Delightful Course

Spessard Holland is a great mid-distance course which has some surprising challenges. There are enough holes on water to keep you alert and compel you to use strategy in order to par. The conditions are generally regulated by the winds as the course is on a thin stretch of land between the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon. On some holes you will need to play at least two clubs down to adjust to the wind. The greens are fast on hot days and well kept. The fairways are in very good shape and most often you will find a good lie for your iron shots. I found the staff very friendly and have only good things to say about the folks who work there. The 19th hole is spartan but has enough to keep you refreshed. Overall, a great experience. Thank you to the staff!

Chausa59GN,

Thank you for taking the time to you review our golf course.With the lack of rain we have had in the area its taking a little hit on grass growth but we can assure you once mother nature starts to cooperate a little better for us you will see much improvement in the tee boxes and fairways. Be sure to come back and check us out again. We appreciate you! Have a wonderful day.

I used to like playing here but

When you book online you get hit with a service charge. If you call to speak with a customer you get a price for 9 the same as the 28 online for 3 o'clock onward. They know of the descripency but have not addressed it.
Also when we were on the 15th hole the ranger came by and said we had to have the carts back by 7. We were only 2 golfers being held up by golfers in front of us.

Good Condition

The course was in pretty good condition! Greens were very nice, soft enough to hold shots, rolled true.

The course is relatively short (par 67), but it's tight and is no easy round.

I highly recommend the course.

Great short 18 hole course

We played there 2 days in a row and found the course and greens in excellent. That made our decision to go back a second time instead of seeking out a different course. No regrets. The greens are fast with no ball marks. The staff was friendly and each day they told us to go out early if we were ready. There was some slow play but a foursome let us through. The views are awesome. If we come to Melbourne again we would play that course.

Nice course, if you have 5 hours to play.

Great course, good shape with nice staff.
Multiple times I have experienced slow play to the point of 8 carts waiting on 1 hole. There is no course marshall to encourage a reasonable pace of play. Forget about playing on any weekend unless you have incredible patience.
The staff just shrugs when I mention the concern.

Dear brucher,

Thanks for taking the time to give us a review, and for your business. We were the place to be on weekends with our awesome course conditions. With all those new golfers,we did indeed get backed up on some days. We do have staff that patrols the course but it sounds like we missed a few opportunities when you played. We appreciate the feedback and have already talked about implementing some new pace of play standards for next season. Take care and we hope to see you back out soon.

Back nine was just too slow.

We caught up to two guys who just seemed like they were the only two guys on the course. The guy and lady right in front of us tried to move along but to no good. Liked the course but slow players make it hard to keep a pace. Thanks, Jerry

Dear Jerry,

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to give us a 4 star review. It is fact that due to the layout of our course we attract some golfers that are new to the game and sometimes we back up on the course. The team works hard to provide every golfer with great conditions, at a great price, with a respctable pace of play. Unfortunately, it looks like we took a double bogey on this one. Please reach out to me at bgulinello@integritygolfco.com so I can learn more about your particular situation. Thanks ahead for your time. Ben Gulinello, Operations Manager.

The pace of play was so slow on 3/4/17 that I left the course on hole 16 because of it. Sad. No Rangers, they do not care once they get your money.
