Streamsong Resort Invites Golf Enthusiasts to Anticipate Its Newest Course
Exciting changes are on the horizon for golf lovers at Streamsong Resort, as plans are underway for a brand-new 18-hole golf course designed by the renowned architect David McLay Kidd. This new addition will mark the fourth full-size course at Streamsong, joining the already celebrated Red, Blue, and Black courses that have attracted golf aficionados from all over.
Charting New Territory in Golf Course Design
Once this course is completed, Streamsong will proudly be the only golf resort in the world that features courses designed by all four of the top contemporary golf architects. This new development is sure to add another feather in the cap for this already recognized resort that has made a name for itself in the golf community.
David McLay Kidd, who has had his eye on designing a course at Streamsong since the opening of the Red and Blue courses back in 2012, is all set to break ground in February. While the new course still awaits an official name, whispers suggest the title “Streamsong White” could be a likely contender.
A Unique Golfing Experience
Locating this new course between the Red and Black courses means utilizing the natural landforms created by previous phosphate mining operations. Golfers can expect a unique experience that emphasizes playability and the ground game, closely aligning with the design philosophy evident in the existing courses at Streamsong.
What’s particularly exciting is that the new course will be the longest at Streamsong, stretching over 7,300 yards from the back tees. It’s designed to start and finish at the Black clubhouse, which not only provides convenience but also integrates elements from the previously established short course and practice area, once called the Roundabout.
Keeping It Fresh and Unique
Though Kidd plans to uphold the same design philosophies that have contributed to the status of the Red, Blue, and Black courses, he also aims to bring unique features and fresh ideas to the table. All of Streamsong’s courses have received significant accolades, with the Red course holding the impressive rank of No. 2 in Florida for public-access courses and No. 15 among U.S. resort courses. The Blue and Black courses are no slouches either, claiming ranks No. 3 and No. 4 in Florida, respectively.
The creative potential of the land’s topography, characterized by its stunning dunes, ridges, and dips, allows for a range of engaging hole designs. Kidd understands how to leverage these natural features, crafting a layout that promises to be both visually appealing and enjoyable to play.
Big Changes on the Horizon for Streamsong
In addition to the construction of the new course, it’s worth noting that Streamsong recently entered a new era of investment and development after being sold to Lone Windmill LLC in 2023. This transition reflects a growing commitment to expand their offerings, something that golf enthusiasts are sure to embrace.
Additionally, just last year, Streamsong introduced another layer to its golfing experience with the opening of The Chain, a 19-hole short course designed by Coore and Crenshaw. This array of options sets up an exciting landscape for golfers of all skill levels and interests.
What’s Next for Streamsong?
With preliminary construction set to begin soon, the buzz for the new course reinforces Streamsong’s dedication not only to quality golfing experiences but also to innovative design. The new 18-hole layout is expected to be ready for play by the fall of 2026, so mark your calendars and get ready for a new chapter in golfing at Streamsong Resort!
As the development progresses, the layout and features of the new course will be fine-tuned to maximize the ground game options that Kidd is known for. Golfers new and old will soon have even more reasons to flock to Streamsong, which just keeps enriching the world of golf.
