Favorite course around Olando Space Coast

[Outfoxed]

What are your favorite courses in the Space Coast area around Melbourne, FL??

I'll be in Cocoa Beach next month and looking for 1 or 2 courses to play.

Thanks.

I wish I had an answer for you. I am interested in other's replies as well!

I grew up there and my dad still lives there, so I know it well. I recommend either Baytree or Duran. Both courses are a lot of fun and are probably pretty reasonable this time of year. I would have said Viera East, but they had some sort of disaster with their greens that have made them unplayable. I grew up playing Turtle Creek, but that's also in terrible shape right now. Everything else around there is either private or a mundane municipal. If you can spare an hour drive, go down to Port St. Lucie and play the three courses at the PGA Golf Club. I did that one weekend last year and loved it.

Thanks Stix. Both of those courses look fun.

What's the story with Duran? Is it links type(as an old cattle ranch)? I'll have to see if Port St. Lucia will "work in the schedule. Thanks for the ideas.

as part of a cruise stop in Port canaveral, we played Savannahs

It was a decent course - runs through a housing development.

I liked it

It's what I call "Florida links", meaning the rolling hills and some hidden trouble but still has some holes where trees and water are an issue. I remember one hole in particular that was almost a complete 90 degree dogleg with water right and woods left. But there are also holes that are quite forgiving.

Sounds like fun. I will definitely play there. Google maps shows a lot of construction going on around the course. Wonder if that is still happening?

Thanks again for the advice.
