Streamsong Golf Resort

Streamsong® is a remote golf resort with three 18-hole layouts located 1.5 hours from the international airports of Tampa, Sarasota, or Orlando in an isolated Polk County setting between Bowling Green and Fort Meade.

The golf courses tour through a former phosphate mine in south central Florida owned by The Mosaic Company, the world's largest phosphate mining company. The land mining and recovery process created a dunes-like landscape with significant elevation change, at least for Florida topography. The routings provide notable contrasts, not only with the contours of the land but also with the natural vegetation that remains.

The Red, a Coore/Crenshaw design, has stunning views with more elevation change, jagged-edged bunkers, and water carries on only the par 3s. It is more playable, save for the first three holes.

The Blue, by Tom Doak, is much the same type of routing, yet less dramatic and a bit flatter. It provides more undulation and character to the larger greens, along with forced carries over water hazards.

The Black course, a Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner design, is located on its own, with a separate clubhouse overlooking the sandy waste areas framing the layout. It's seemingly less intuitive than the other courses, requiring more precise shot-making once the layout's nuances have been discerned. It is generally forgiving off the tee, although in some cases, this is not readily apparent. There are tiered green complexes that tend to be oversized and blend seamlessly into the sand bunkers, with an endless variety of playing options just off the greens.

There are four sets of tees on each course. The Blue's Silver tees play to 6,285 yards, 69.7/123, course/slope ratings. The Red's Silver tees are 6,094 yards, 69.4/119, and the Black's Silvers are 6,240 yards, 69.5/125.

The Chain, Core/Crenshaw, is a 3,000-yard, walking-only layout with 19 holes. It includes a six-hole loop that plays around a grove of Oaks with holes that vary in length from 110 – 153 yards or as short as 50 – 88 yards. From the six-hole loop, you venture into the 13-hole loop, where holes measure up to 293 yards with more forced carries in play, depending on the tee you choose. Additionally, there's The Bucket, a 2 1/2 acre putting course, a wildly undulating Himalayas type of putting course.
