Streamsong Blue

If you're hunting for a golfing experience that feels like a hidden gem tucked away in Florida's natural beauty, Streamsong Blue should be your next destination. Crafted by the legendary Tom Doak in 2012, this course transforms a landscape of vast sand dunes and native vegetation, once a phosphate mining site, into a golfer's paradise. It's not just a game here; it's about immersing yourself in a strikingly unique environment.

Take hole 7, for instance—a par 3 that’s both beautiful and beastly, demanding precision as you tee off over a lake to reach a green that's zealously guarded. It’s one of those holes that stays with you, whether you nail it or it humbles you.

For those stepping onto Streamsong Blue for the first time, keep this tip in mind: accuracy off the tee is vital. The course is known for its challenging bunkers and water hazards which can catch even the most seasoned players off guard. And always consider the wind, which can be an invisible adversary or ally here, depending on the day.

Whether you're looking to test your skills or simply soak up some breathtaking views, Streamsong Blue offers a slice of golf heaven that feels worlds away from the everyday course. It’s a must-play that promises to challenge and charm in equal measure.
