Tired of playing in someone's backyard? PlayThe Habitat.

The first thing you may notice about The Habitat is that something is missing. Houses and back yards! When you play The Habitat you're definitely not playing in someone's backyard. In fact, this lush course is situated in the middle of a wildlife sanctuary so the only homeowners you share the course with may be the gopher tortoises, sandhill cranes, scrub jays and other wildlife. Meandering through wetlands, pine forests and rolling terrain, this may be one of the most naturally beautiful courses you will ever play. 

321-952-4588 Tee Times 321-952-6312 Pro Shop 3591 Fairgreen St.,  Valkaria, FL 32950 Public Holes: 18 Course Par: 72 Rating/Slope:  Gold 71.6/137  Regular 69.9/133  Forward 70.0/119 Course Pro/Manager:  Alex Romanoff Cart & Greens Fees:  (18 holes)  Summer: $25 (resident)  Winter: $39 (resident) Course Designer:   Charles Ankrom

However, don't be distracted. This championship par 72 course offers a challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The course is a picturesque rolling 6,836-yard Charles Ankrom design featuring imaginative topographical elements, demanding mounded fairways, plenty of water, and elevation changes you don't often see in coastal Florida. 

 Each hole, short or long, finds a unique way to test the golfer. Water is a factor on nine holes and the natural hazards of unparalleled beauty are well positioned throughout the course. Most holes are isolated from the others by natural hammocks, scrub and wetlands, offering a quiet sense of solitude just about anywhere on the course. 

While the "Scottish" 6th hole and the "Carolina Style" 13th hole are challenges to exhilarate anyone, save your most well placed shot for the energizing 18th hole and head for the clubhouse for a breather after an unforgettable round of golf! 

The clubhouse offers a snack bar with lounge and a generously stocked pro shop. A spectacular driving range rounds out the offerings at this undiscovered jewel of the Space Coast. MasterCard and Visa are accepted. Tee Times can be made 2.5 days in advance. Play the Habitat where nature and golf come together in harmony.
