FUN FUN FUN

This course is in fantastic shape and offers one of the most enjoyable layouts in Brevard County. The greens are very fast, especially late in the day (watch those downhillers!). Get out and enjoy this course!

habitats a fine course

I played habitat on 4-24, it has very good fairways but 1/4 to 1/3 of the greens are showing signs of wear. Im told they will be taking the greens down for the sand treatment the week of May 1st. This is a nice course layout with some challenging holes !!

Real nice, all things considered

Taking into account the recent cold snap we had a few weeks back, the grass on this course is recovering nicely. The week after the frost, all Brevard county courses turned brown. I was happy to see plenty of green at Habitat. The price is one of the cheapest in the county and is well worth it. Golfers that play this course, and most for that matter, should really practice good habits and fix ball marks, which was the only downfall on these greens. The course overall was a blast and is in good shape right now.

Great Shape considering the weather

Played this course on February 6th and considering the erratic weather we have had in Florida, this course is in great shape! The downside as with many Florida courses is the significant amount of ball marks on all the greens. I have long been someone who thinks that courses who do all they can to encourage people to fix their ball marks, but at the end of the day, send someone around to fix ball marks if people don't. I know of atleast a handful of putts affected by ballmarks in our round. All that being said though, the course was a lot of fun, challenging, and in great shape.

Great Layout, pretty good shape

This is target golf at its finest. This is definitely not a grip it and rip it course. This course has a great layout and offers many different looks at the hole. Most of the greens were in descent shape rolling pretty quick. The fairways for the most part were alright, but need to be cut. There were some fluffy spots. Most tee boxes were ok, but a couple were well rounded and pretty hacked. For at least a few more days, you can still play this course for just $27, which blows away any other prices in the county right now. This is such a fun course and I will definitely be back soon.

Different Florida Course

Played this course on February 15th and came away very impressed. Even though the round was shortened by a severe downpour, I was still able to get in nine holes. For a public/county owned course it was in pretty good shape. The tee boxes were green as well as the greens themselves. The downside to those was the rye grass overshadowing the few bumps in the turf. The rough was dry, but was still very playable as was the fairway. This course is tough, has many hills and curves and plays short but very accurate. I would recommend this course for a good challenge and a way to work your irons and short game as the greens are very small.

Fun course!!

For a county course, Habitat offers a great variety of holes. The greens and fairways were in decent shape but could have been cut a little shorter. I rated the course value a 3 because I thought at this time of year for $42 the course could have been in a little better shape. However, this course is a blast to play and has an amazing layout. Tons of fun, check it out.
