Carved from the dramatic landscape of a former phosphate mine, Streamsong Red is an 18-hole triumph of golf architecture from the legendary team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Opened in 2012 and ranked 20th among Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Public Courses, the Red course transforms what was once industrial wasteland into a breathtaking venue that feels more like the Irish links or Australian sandbelt than central Florida. Towering sand dunes reaching 75 feet high, crystalline lakes, native prairie grasses, and blowout bunkers create a wild, windswept landscape that plays with constantly changing elevation and strategy. Every hole has character; none feel manufactured or generic. This is golf stripped of its typical Florida flatness—walking here reveals a terrain of undulation, mounding, and natural drama at nearly every turn.
The course design brilliantly marries playability with challenge. Water hazards appear on 10 of the 18 holes but never feel shoehorned in. The opening six holes are universally praised as exceptional, while the closing stretch from 15-18 delivers a powerful finish. Iconic holes abound: the drivable par-4 9th with its boomerang green; the short par-3 8th channeling the Australian sandbelt; the 16th playing 208 yards entirely over water to a Biarritz green; and the par-5 7th showcasing what many call one of the finest par-5s in American golf. The back nine tests with long par 4s into the prevailing wind and tight angles off the tee, demanding precision and strategy. Yet from the forward tees, the course stretches to just 4,861 yards, making it accessible for all skill levels.
Streamsong Red is the crown jewel of a three-course resort experience where golfers can play designs by Coore & Crenshaw (Red), Tom Doak (Blue), and Gil Hanse (Black)—a unique opportunity to experience modern golf architecture's most celebrated minds in one place. The property sits amid thousands of acres of secluded terrain, utterly removed from development, with no houses or distractions—just golf, nature, and the game itself. Groups come here to experience something genuinely different from what they've played before.
