Streamsong Resort - Red Course
Played On 10/10/2017Great Streamsong track
We played the Red course on Twice in our short trip. We chose the combo tees and weren’t disappointed. Even from the estimated 6300 yds it was a solid test. The architects used elevation changes and existing dunes to frame the holes and create target lines and depth. After playing the Blue and Black courses, we thought that the greens on Red were the most fair and least undulating. The nines are definitely different in their level of difficulty with the back nine being the more challenging. It was a course which, if played well, invites you back and if played poorly pulls you back for another try.
Kudos go to the golf staff, caddies, bag drop attendants, shuttle drivers(Mercedes vans-great touch), restaurant staff and the nicest front desk staff we have experienced. Everyone was personable and friendly and genuinely committed to serving their guests.

Played On 03/09/2017A wonderful golf experience
My wife and I played this course several years ago. It was a bit rough then because it was new, but we liked the layout and felt that maturity would make it an even better track. We were right. This is a course in excellent condition, and is appropriately competitive from any tee. Kudos to the friendly and efficient staff. Attention has been paid to fairway conditions and green surfaces to make them fair and fast. It was a bit of a drive from where were staying but very much worth it. The only negative - and it's not a big one- is that this is a development still under construction and there are some rather long drives between tees and some ongoing construction, but the positives far outweigh the negatives. The pace of play was excellent - we completed our round in 4 hrs. And it should be noted that a few of those longer drives between holes were through very scenic and well preserved native vegetation. If you are visiting this area, this course should be on your list to play. We are looking forward to playing it again upon our next visit.
Good day,
What a great review. Thank you so much for your kind words. The golf course is maturing wonderfully and our staff continues to come together and provide outstanding service.
Please come back and see us again soon!
