Sandy greens at the "landing"

Mallards landing is owned by the City of Melbourne and like all municipality's their struggling to maintain this course. We had a day of wind and rain this last week and we played Saturday 3-13/ the fairways are hard and so is the greens. Theyare trying hard. Hope the city doesn't give up on the course !!

Sherwood in N. Titusville - needs love

This poor little course in N Brevard has been owned privately by folks who just couldn't afford the needed repairs to the course. It was recently purchased by a new owner who is investing in new carts, re-surfacing the parking lot and renovating the club house. If he still has the money, he'll need to (in my opinion) shut the course down and complety redo each hole from T box to Green... including new sod in the fairways. Now he can do this by working on the "back nine" first (closing it down and letting folks just play the front nine)and then working on the front nine. Its just that bad... I used to go there because they were so much cheaper than the other brevard courses they offered a "bargain" but no longer... You may as well play walk-about (just up the street about 3 miles) or Savannah's or any of the other fine brevard courses.... Perhaps Jack Nickolaus will help this new owner out !!!!! While I wish the new owner well, but I won't be back - I'll give them a year to see if they can improve it.

Course Ratings

Pros
Staff is nice and ammenity's of the club house are quaint
Cons
greens, fairways and tee boxes all are sub "par"
Cost the same as most other courses - so its lost its appeal as a "bargain"

Savannah's Feb 20th

Savannah's remains the best kept golf secret in Brevard. However due to recent "coupons" being sent out to attract more golfers the pace is slower than in the past. The greens are really brown due to the recent cold snaps but are FAST. The staff is always nice and helpful.

Psst. don't tell the yankees about this bargain or they'll all come down !!!

location, price, setting, staff,
Cons
crowds (due to cost reduction coupons)
