This is one of my favorite courses on the Spacecoast! But beware -- this one is a golf ball eater. Turtle Creek is located not too far from busy Interstate 95, but you'll never know that you aren't way back in the woods lost in a tropical forest.
Speaking of lost in the woods, most of the holes are tree-lined with tall pine trees. This is a target golf course, and any missed fairway will result in a punch-out off of pine straw. In addition, the greens are pretty small and very undulating.
But look at the bright side: first of all, they keep this course in terrific shape year-round. The golf carts have nice GPS systems to give you exact yardage. What's more is the golf course is crawling with all kinds of cool tropical creatures like alligators, sand cranes, and wild turkeys. Speaking of Wild Turkey, the restaurant and bar have good food with a nice view of the 18th green.
After your round, for a more fancy dinner spot I would head into Cocoa Village and check out Café Margaux for some fresh seafood. Eat out on the patio if the weather is nice.

I have played this, and you are right about it eating golf balls! I lost almost a dozen, but it was worth it. I will definitely return when I visit my folks again.
