About Spessard Holland Golf Course
Spessard Holland Golf Course sits on a barrier-island stretch of Melbourne Beach, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Indian River on the other. The layout was designed by Palmer Enterprises and opened for play in 1977.
The course is operated by Golf Brevard, a 501(c)(3) non-profit formed in 2018 to maintain public golf in Brevard County. The organization also runs The Habitat Golf Course in nearby Malabar.
