Very well designed

Best course design of the 3 but I felt it was the hardest and my 3rd favorite. I get why people love it because it has a lot of fun holes that go from long to short in consecutive order

Tremendous experience

I had the opportunity to play the Red Course in December, my first time at Streamsong and one of my few encounters with resort golf. It was an incredible time and definitely worth the money. In addition to a challenging course with scenic views you don't get in Florida, the staff could not have been friendlier and more accomodating. Playing alongside my cousin, we particularly enjoyed our caddie, Michael Bradley. Yep, the four-time PGA Tour winner. He could not have been more gracious and personable, adding to a very memorable occasion.

Genteel and intriguing through and through

Streamsong Red, my second-favorite of the resort’s three “big” courses, is a masterclass in executing enjoyable golf holes, one by one. There is not a pedestrian test in the bunch, and with three bona fide half-par holes in the first four – capped off by the world-class short par-4 4th – it establishes a high standard, and proceeds to maintain it. The only real demerit I can find with Red’s design is that the back nine begins with three par 4s that are all defined by a pronounced right-to-left fairway tilt. A fine hair to split when comparing it to Streamsong’s other first-rate layouts.

Bucket Checkmark

A work related outing brought me to the popular Streamsong Resort in Central FL. A truly epic property carved into the swampy plains of the sunshine state, the course was a lot of fun, challenging, and awe inspiring.

Superb Course Layout

This was our groups first time playing Streamsong Red and all I have to say is the layout is phenomenal. I have played Sawgrass and Torrey Pines South and this stacks up right against those two and could arguably be better. The design is something you will have never experienced before. Each hole is its own real estate, meaning there aren't any adjacent holes near it so it seems like you are playing that hole only. If you get off the tee well you will be ok and I definitely recommend a caddie - they know the course very well and there are a lot of blind tee shots and greens are very undulating so its good to know where to miss. The greens were not plush but good. They aerated a few weeks before we played on 6/9 so they're still recovering. Tee boxes and fairways were mint condition. Clubhouse and bar are resort style and very high class. Staff was super nice and hospitable. We will be back here annually.

True review

Played red course. Check in was easy. The range and pitching practice green were great. Layout of the course was incredible. I wasn’t impressed with the conditions. It was in good shape but when u pay what it cost to play here, I’m expecting close to mint. . I played championsgate the week before and also grand bear near Biloxi and they were in better condition. Lake Jovita and eaglebrooke too. Especially the greens. Streamsong greens were pretty good but just not excellent like u would expect.. By no means am I complaining , I just expected mint when u are considered a top 20 in the USA and at the price u charge. I do think they should have local resident rates. Talking to employees they don’t get a lot of local play. We are local and I don’t see myself paying these prices to play the other courses as my expectations weren’t met. My fellow players felt the exact same way. It was good just not what we expected since we have played nicer courses lately . Everyone was nice, our caddie Tommy Fleetwood was great . Just with caddie and tee time , we spent $240 each and it just wasn’t worth it even though we enjoyed the day .

Greens Are Terrible

Played all Streamsong courses many times. Course conditions are the worst I've seen. Most greens on the Red course are diseased. Lots of unfilled divots in the fairways. Not worth paying $20.00 let alone $200.00.
On the positive, the caddie was excellent.

A New Classic in a Remarkable Setting

The Red course feels more put together than the other two courses at Streamsong. This was day 3 of our trip and we had already worked our way around the other two courses on the property. This course has a classic feel to it, and flows nicely for the whole round. Most of the holes are straight forward, what you see is what you get. Many holes on the Blue and Black courses are a bit quirky and we had some blind shots on those courses, not so on the Red. This is not a bad or good thing. Red is a spectacular track with great holes in a beautiful setting. Which course is best of the three? Let the debate begin!

As usual we started with breakfast in the clubhouse which was always good every day of the trip then took the short ride up to the driving range and pitching area to warm up. The range and practice greens are shared between the Blue and Red courses and is a great place to loosen up before a round.

After teeing off we had no issues with pace throughout the day. There was a group ahead of us that kept a good pace and we kept good distance between the groups with no waiting throughout the round. The pace was not fast, we were at about 430 for the round, but on a course like this we wanted to take our time and enjoy the surroundings. Our group did not have caddies so we just used the pull carts provided by the resort and those work great! There were no holes where we felt like a caddie was absolutely necessary, the course plays right out in front of you. I know that lots of players at the resort prefer to have caddies and I am sure the experience is worth the price, but I cannot attest.

Greens on the course were lightning fast on the day we played, definitely the fastest of all three courses. They had just installed the new Mach 1 Bermuda and it was rolling great! The rest of the course was also in great condition like the other two courses. This course has lots of great big fairway bunkers, luckily the fairways are mostly quite wide, so you should be able to steer clear of the sand unless you are taking a lot of aggressive lines off the tee.

The first six holes make a loop back to the clubhouse around a series of lakes. A couple of the holes require accurate drives to avoid the water and huge sand dunes bordering the holes. Hole 4 is a fun uphill par 4 that could be drivable if the winds were helping a bit. Swing away, there’s tons of fairway out there! I really felt the course opened up on hole 7 as it heads away from the clubhouse and the rest of the course circles the Blue Course in the center. Make sure you stop by the snack bar at hole 9 for some great BBQ!

After you grab some brisket you have another drivable par 4 in hole 9, just about 260 yards. Holes 12 and 13 are 450 and 451 respectively. You just get a bonus stroke on the par 5 13th! Make sure you take advantage of it. Hole 15 has a monstrous bunker running down the left side of the fairway, be careful if you are trying to cut the corner on the number one handicap hole heading up the hill.

Hole 16 is the scenic signature on this course, a serious par 3. The tee shot goes over the same lake as hole 7 on Blue, but is much longer, is guarded in the front by bunkers, and has a severe downhill slope to the left of the green. This is a much tougher hole than the beautiful, but relatively dainty 7th on Blue.

The tee shot on 17 is another thinker as you can challenge the beach running down the right to end up in a nice valley pitching up to the green or go for safety left and leave a bit longer shot. Hole 18 is a good uphill par 5 where avoiding the bunkers off the tee shot is key if you want to post a low score.

Red is well put together and has a nice flow. It is not by any means boring, the holes on this course have character and blend extremely well with the contours of the land. This is a great design in a beautiful golf haven. I cannot wait to go back.

Great balance of fun and serious challenge

Coore & Crenshaw have the highest batting average of any modern golf course architecture concern, armed a they are with sophisticated perspectives on what makes for compelling golf as well as a talented team that can help execute their vision completely. Their effort at Streamsong brings their genteel touch to an unusual environment: the spend sand mounds of a former mining site.

As always, they worked with the landscape rather than seeking to dominate it with their 18 holes. The result is a course with ample room to play and make strategic decisions. The routing does lead to the stretch of holes 7 through 15 predominately angling and/or pitching from right to left, but such a stretch is not without precedent. Highlights include the very engaging first two holes, good short 4s at the 4th and 9th holes and the sublime Biarritz-inspired par-3 16th.

Finally, the new Mach 1 Bermuda greens, installed over the summer, are very nice. Some uncooperative weather during the project has necessitated a bit of sod patching on some of the Red greens, but even if they look like they've been worked on in places, they putt beautifully.

Great course

I had a complimentary round from my stay at the resort, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course is amazing. Most every tee shot makes you have to think about what you want to do as there are hazards all over the place. The course conditions were perfect and I don't think a blade of grass was out of place. The greens were immaculate, and held every line. Some of the bunkers were a bit bare, but the reality is that you need to hit fairways if you want to score. I've played a bunch of really great courses, and I can't think of one that is better than this one in terms of design, set-up , and conditions. Just awesome.

Unbelievable Experience

Just returned from a trip to Streamsong and played all the courses. We play red first. Staff and caddy were great. Course is unlike anything I ever played. Challenging but very fair. Pace of play was bit slow but not horrible. Caddie tried to talk us into the shorter tees, but once we all hit it about 270 plus from the black tees, he didn't say another word about tee boxes. Greens were fast. Coming from Michigan and not ever playing bermuda fairways, chipping and pitching took time to get used to. Overall, a great experience at Streamsong. But be prepared to do a lot of walking and be prepared for some hot temperatures, depending on when you play.

Hardest of the 3

I love the Red, and for me, it's the hardest of the 3 Streamsong courses. It's flatter than the Blue and the Black, and that includes the greeens. Crenshaw/Coore were dastardly in their design, however. While the other 2 have fairways that almost allow you to hit your tee shot anywhere, they placed fairway bunkers that force you to hit it on one side or the other. If you don't, you will probably end up in a bunker. Pick the wrong route and the hole plays harder than if you pick the correct one.

Wow!!

What a feast for the senses... all I can say. This is a true resort course with the player in mind. The layout, staff, conditions, all exceeded expectations. Shout out to Brian my caddie as he was invaluable in course knowledge and friendly banter throughout my round, my score would have easily been 10 strokes higher without him.

"Hey, Lama..."

Got a couple friends together to bite the bullet and play Streamsong Red on my birthday. Overall great!
We got there early to take in some of the amenities, but that was a mistake- if you're only going to play the course there's no reason to go any earlier than you would to your local spot. Pro shop, bar and restaurant, driving range, putting green. That's all there is.
The property is very unique. High dunes, high grass, lakes and wildlife. Very cool, especially if you like taking pictures.
Staff, at first, was very friendly- Carmen the starter was super cool and even made sure to run back to the clubhouse and get me a Happy Birthday coin.
Our forecaddie had great course knowledge, accurate yardage, and changed our minds on a few putts with the correct line. He gave me a tip on the Par 4 3rd hole and I holed out for my first Eagle on a par 4. -he knew his stuff.
Only problem I had was that he never asked if we wanted to pull the pin, he left us stranded a time or two 50yds away from the cart, and once or twice he'd walk out leaving us to rake a bunker. It was super hot out, so none of this was a huge deal until we got to the cart return.
Tipping the caddie is at the discretion of the players, and all over the place they suggest $100 tip for a 4some. We pulled cash together and on 18 we gave him $135. When we got in, he jumped off the cart and sat there watching us unload our gear and clean out our stuff. He didn't help. He didn't clean our clubs. But he did have the nerve to walk up to the other cart and ask the other guys "was the tip given for everyone?" suggesting that we stiffed him.
Maybe I'm wrong, but $135 was well over 20% of our round, and 35% more than suggested- plenty sufficient I think.

Overall the course is great and it is worth experiencing once. I think this course would be fairly priced at $80-$90 for Floridians (before the mandatory caddie fee) - All in all we payed $170 each, which according to our caddie must have been a good deal.

Awesome Course - Beautiful setting and scenery.

This was my first time to Streamsong. It was an amazing place in the middle of nowhere with nothing close by.

I like when you pull up to the bag drop area, you can valet park your vehicle if you choose. All the facilities are top notch. Excellent practice area for all you clubs. Make sure to practice your short game and long putting.

The Red Course is one of the nicest links courses I have played. It was fantastic. As with a links course, there are tons of slopes, undulations, mounds and humps everywhere (greens, fairways, etc.) There terrain is very natural and amazing. The bunkers are a true challenge and the bunkers are everywhere.

I am sure you will love the Red course, just as I and many, many others who have written reviews. There is a reason it is rated in the top 100 courses in the U.S.
