Savannahs at Merritt Island

After two pretty intense days of rain, I wasn't sure what kind of course to expect. The front 9 was pretty wet, and a bit squishy in the fairways. The back however, was very nice and didn't show hardly any sign of heavy rain from the day before. The greens were in very nice shape, but some of the tee boxes were not great, and the placement of many wasn't desired as were placed on the swail of the tee box. Overall though, this course is in descent shape all things considered. I'd wait and pay the afternoon rate though.

I play Savannah's a lot, 30+ times per year. Outstanding greens- very fast, terrific greens and T boxes. I was saddened this week when I found out that almost all of the paid employees have been laid off!!! Brevard County budget short falls were the culprit I was told. WHAT A SHAME !!! These employees made the golfing at Savannah's all the better.

I'm afraid that the greens keepers an other maintenance folks will go next.

Please call, or email our Brevard County Commisioners to lend your support to save the 3 Brevard County golf courses. Once they fall into disrepair, it may never come back !!!

Played this course early today and it is in fabulous shape. Besides two small areas in two different fairways, the fairways are just beautiful! The greens were aerified a month ago and man are they nice now! They are very green, fast, and true! In addition to the course being in good shape, the putting green, chipping green, and range are in fantastic shape! Plus, their range has the best deal in the county with unlimited range balls for $12. 18 holes first thing in the morning was just $29 toddy and worth every penny. Get out and play this cowrie now, it's in near perfect shape!

I played Savannahs just this past weekend. Still in great shape. but beware, they will closing the course tues. 4-19, for what they call Maintenance - aerification sanding etc. The course will re-open on Wednesday (special rates !!). Check out their Specials by going to " www.golfthesavannah's.com"

I'll be looking for another place to play for a couple of weeks to allow the course to get back to normal.

I've heard Turtle Creek is not in its best shape !! so my search continues !!!

The best course in the county just keeps chugging along. Great greens, fairways. the unlimited warm-up balls before playing, and the great staff makes this a tremendous day of golf.
