Course Report
Tom Doak joked about installing a zip line across the pond by the 7th hole, but the presence of alligators made that idea too risky.
About
Streamsong Blue, designed by Tom Doak, is a visually striking, strategically challenging 18-hole course set amid reclaimed mining land, with dramatic sand dunes, rolling fairways, and contoured greens. The course channels a links-inspired experience unique in Florida and is considered one of the premier golf destinations in the USA, acclaimed for its playability and architectural intrigue.
Caddie Tip
Streamsong Blue rewards thoughtful navigation—avoid being overly aggressive off the tee, as the wide fairways often flow into large dunes and deep bunkers. Pay close attention to your approach angles, as many greens have significant contours and run-offs, especially in windy conditions. The best strategy is to leave yourself below the hole whenever possible.
The Main Challenge
The layout’s biggest challenge is managing the wind and handling the bold green complexes, which are heavily contoured and offer challenging run-offs. Large, deep bunkers and wide, undulating fairways demand strong course management, especially when the prevailing breeze intensifies. Missed greens often lead to tough recovery shots.
The Good
Golfers consistently rave about the dramatic mining land contours, excellent shot variety, and the sense of isolation on each hole. Streamsong Blue delivers an authentic links-like experience rarely found in Florida, with bold design choices and wide strategic fairways that make every round unique and memorable.
The Not So Good
Pace of play can sometimes lag during peak times, and the openness of the course means play can be affected by strong winds. Some golfers wish for even more distinction between the Blue and Red courses due to their similar proximity and visual style.
Signature Hole:
#
7
The par 3 7th is Streamsong Blue’s signature hole, playing over water to a wonderfully contoured green nestled between a lake up front and enormous sand dunes behind. The picturesque and intimidating setting highlights the course’s dramatic mining-scarred terrain, and the challenging green complex rewards a precisely struck tee shot.
Clubhouse
The Streamsong Clubhouse features 12 guest rooms, 4,500 square feet of conference space, a well-stocked golf shop, an outdoor terrace with panoramic course views, and casual to upscale dining options. The clubhouse is modern yet blends naturally with the surrounding dunes, offering comfort for both golf and social gatherings.
Practice Facilities
Practice amenities include a two-acre putting course called The Gauntlet, a creative 7-hole practice loop, a full driving range, and a separate short game area. The comprehensive setup allows golfers to warm up thoroughly or work on specific skills before hitting the course.
