Streamsong's two golf courses (one designed by Tom Doak and the other designed by Ben Crenshaw/Bill Coore) are currently completed and they are undergoing some of the final steps to prepare for their expected opening in December of this year.  The clubhouse (that includes a 12 room lodge) is currently under construction and will be completed and opened when the courses open for play.  I went on a tour of the courses last week and it looks great with some spectacular scenery and they are nothing like any other course in Florida (very much have a British links look and feel).  Golf Digest did a tour/review of the course that will appear in the September issue.

Initially the resort itself will include the 36 holes of golf (actually 37 as it has a "playoff" hole to settle bets post round) a 216 room hotel, 4 restaurants, a skeet shooting range, private bass fishing lakes and nature trails.  Other amenities may be added after the resort is opened for a while (one thing the course has plenty of is land to expand and add amenities, etc.).  The hotel is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in late 2013.

In addition to streamsongresort.com you can also keep updated on the opening of the courses and the progress on the construction of the resort by visiting on visitcentralflorida.org.

That's about an hour from me... I may have to take a trip down there when it opens. it's out in the middle of no where. and was an orange grove... I would guess they moved a lot of dirt to build the courses.

It would seem a little fishy that two people with only one post started and responded to this thread...

Actually Streamsong was not a citrus grove.  It is owned by Mosaic (the phosphate mining company) and was built on reclaimed mine land.  The designers moved little to no dirt in building the course as they liked the pits and sand dunes that were left over from the mining days.

The course has a very raw look with the dunes, wild native grasses and sand waste areas.  You will need to keep it in the fairways or be in store for a very long day and a lot of lost golf balls.

Very true it is in the middle of no where, but that is also the allure of the entire resort.  Everything is understated and blends into the surrounding land.  You stand on the dunes and look around and see nothing but natural land for miles, and you do not hear a sound.  A big change from most Florida courses where you are surrounded by houses.

It's a new course and it's getting some awfully good press...

Yeah don't worry about it.

I saw the little article thing and am intrigued. My wife was just in Clearwater, FL. If I had been there I'd have driven over just to take a look at it!

I'm not sure why you think I was referring to you. Maybe I should have quoted the first two posts to be clear. I'm referring to the two brand new people who have all of the information about this new place, never posting anywhere else before or since this thread. Clearly it's advertising but it's subjective apparently. I was told links to commercial sites/products wasn't allowed on TST, after I posted a link to GolfShot in my signature.

I just visited the Streamsong site and it said the clubhouse and the 2 courses will be opening late this month.  I am looking looking forward to the "resort" part opening so there will accommodations available.  It looks like it will be a very nice getaway location!

On their website I see a greenfee of 399 dollars to play for a day. When I play (to me) a top course like Celebration for a day I pay less that 100.

Can't be worth that much money....

Just took a second tour of the property and definitely have the itch to play them when the open later this month.

You really get a Scottish links feel to both courses.  Tall grasses and dunes off the fairways, deep bunkers with natural sand from the site (nothing trucked in).  Almost constant breeze/winds will greatly affect shots because there are few trees and no buildings to block the wind. No fringe or transition cuts around the greens, so a lot of bump and run strategy.

No palms, no primping, no flower beds, definitely not your average Florida golf courses.

Exactly. I could scrape together that kind of money for a round there, but would I even want to?

Any public or resort that has courses by Doak and the team of Coore and Crenshaw is a must see golf destination IMO. If I lived in Florida, I'd try to get there. The fairly recent trend towards strategic, lay of the land courses (Sand Hills, Bandon, Cabot Links, etc...) is good for golf and the future of the game.

I had the privilege of spending a day at Streamsong Resort this past weekend. The Red is good, one of the more interesting courses in a state known for mediocre golf.  The Blue is exceptional, destined for world top-100.

@Humblegolfer

How much did you pay for it? And was it worth the money? Would be nice to get a bit more information.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
