Construction is set to begin in February, marking over a decade of Kidd’s dream to create a course at this premier golfing destination. The new course will feature stunning views and a layout that complements existing courses, further enhancing the overall golfing experience at Streamsong.
Exciting Times Ahead for Golf at Streamsong Resort!
Golf enthusiasts, get ready for some electrifying news coming from the Streamsong Resort. For those who’ve been daydreaming about what it would be like to play a brand-new golf course designed by a legend in the making, your dreams are about to come true! The renowned golf architect David McLay Kidd is finally stepping onto the property to design a fourth full-sized course at this ultimate golfing getaway.
Defining a Dream for Over a Decade
Can you believe that Kidd has been wanting to create a course at Streamsong for over ten years? That’s right! This passionate designer first set foot there in 2012, right when the amazing Red and Blue courses were unveiled. Since then, Kidd has been busy accumulating acclaim for his incredible work at various top-tier golf resorts, including the iconic Bandon Dunes in Oregon.
Construction Kicking Off Soon
The wait is nearly over, as construction on Kidd’s much-anticipated course is scheduled to begin in February. Just picture it: a gorgeous new course that will slot in beautifully with the already popular Red, Blue, and Black courses. Streamsong will be a unique retreat, showcasing works by stellar architects — all in one location!
What’s in Store for Golfers?
Kidd’s new course is poised to not only complement the existing designs but also bring its own artistic flair. Golfers can expect a layout that begins near the Black clubhouse, with a couple of holes that will replace an existing short course, winding closely to the paths of the Black course. To top it all off, the course will finish on a mammoth par-5 18th hole adjacent to the Red course and its beautiful pond.
Views That Take Your Breath Away
Imagine teeing off while feasting your eyes on stunning views of the Red, Blue, and Black courses! Each corner of Kidd’s wonderful creation will draw inspiration from Streamsong’s existing impressive designs, elevating the experience to new heights.
Crafting a Unique Character
While Kidd works on developing this new gem, he’s committed to spending ample time at Streamsong. His design will prioritize playability and emphasize a focus on the ground game. You can expect slopes that make recovery shots not only possible but exciting, despite the typical challenges posed by Florida’s Bermuda grass.
Recognized Excellence at Streamsong
Feel proud as a golfer, knowing that Streamsong’s current courses consistently rank among the best in the country! Golfweek recently lauded the Red course as the No. 2 public-access course in Florida, a prestigious title that points toward the excellence of design that awaits with Kidd’s contribution.
A Fresh Take after Sand Mining
Interestingly, the land earmarked for Kidd’s new course was once mined for sand during the construction of the Black course. This unique history lends itself to a fascinating foundation for the upcoming project. Kidd sees it as an opportunity to craft something truly special — maybe even a course that players may argue someday ranks among the very best!
The Future is Bright for Streamsong
With the addition of this new treasure, Streamsong is further solidifying its status as a must-visit destination for golf lovers. The golf world will be eagerly watching as KemperSports, who acquired Streamsong in 2023, leads this exciting course development that promises to offer unmatched experiences. Golf fans, your invitation to paradise is just around the corner!
