Streamsong is about 80 kilometres south-east of Tampa. Its courses are built on land that the Mosaic company mined for phosphate for decades, which left behind huge sand ridges and lakes in the middle of cattle country. Three courses by three of the best-known modern design teams turned that ground into some of the most talked-about golf in Florida. A fifth course, David McLay Kidd’s Bone Valley, opens in January 2027. Day guests are welcome, but the resort is remote enough that most visitors stay two or three nights.

The courses at Streamsong Resort.
Red
Coore & Crenshaw’s course is the more subtle of the original pair. It has bold bunkering and a famous par-three 16th played over water to a green set in the dunes. Its clubhouse is shared with Blue.
Blue
Doak’s course is the more dramatic. Its greens tilt and roll more, and its routing climbs over the tallest ridges. The 7th, a par three over a lake to a green under a dune, is one of the most photographed holes in Florida.
Black
The Hanse/Wagner course sits on its own land and has its own clubhouse. Its greens are very large and contoured, and the fairways are very wide. A ground-game approach works well here. The Gauntlet putting course next to the clubhouse is a popular evening contest.
The round, in perspective.
Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw built Red, and Tom Doak built Blue. Both opened in 2012, and they share the same ground, crossing at a pair of par threes over the same lake. Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner’s Black opened in 2017 on a separate site. It has enormous greens and a large putting course, the Gauntlet. All three courses play firm and fast on sandy soil, with wide fairways, little rough and plenty of chances to run the ball in along the ground. Expect dunes and wind more than lakes and bulkheads. The Chain, a short course by Coore & Crenshaw, is walking only and suits a late-afternoon round.
Make the trip work.
Most groups play Red, Blue and Black over three days and add The Chain one evening. The Link, the first six holes of The Chain, is free for resort guests. Walking is the main way to play here, so pack light carry bags. If you want to ride, you will need a group caddie at US$60 per player. Club rental costs US$100 a day. There is little else nearby, so plan to eat every meal on the property.
Tampa International (TPA) and Orlando International (MCO) are both roughly 90 minutes away by road. Orlando has more international flights. Lakeland is the nearest town of any size. The last stretch is on quiet rural roads, so drive in daylight if you can.
The Streamsong Lodge, a modern building overlooking a lake, has most of the rooms. There are also rooms above the Red and Blue clubhouse. Staying on site gives you resort-guest green fees and earlier booking. The nearest alternatives are in Lakeland or Bartow, both well over half an hour away, so most golfers stay on property.
Make a trip of it.
Bone Valley, David McLay Kidd’s course, has preview play from 30 October 2026 and opens fully on 26 January 2027. Cabot Citrus Farms, about two hours north-west near Brooksville, makes a good second stop. Away from golf, the resort offers bass fishing on its mine lakes and sporting clays, and the surrounding ranch country is good for birdwatching.
Find your season.
October to April is the best time to go, and the most expensive. January to April is peak. From late May to September rates drop sharply, but the heat and afternoon storms are serious, so book early tee times. Carts are not allowed from late December to February.
Yes. Day guests can book within a 30-day window and pay about US$50 more per round than resort guests. They also lose the early booking that comes with a room reservation.
