Three nights in March. A Clubhouse reserved for the group alone. And four rounds across the dunes of a reclaimed phosphate mine, beginning with David McLay Kidd’s Bone Valley just weeks after it opens. Red and Blue carry the heart of the trip and The Chain closes it on foot. Each evening the group gathers for a private reception at the Clubhouse, and the final night ends with a closing dinner.
Streamsong sits on 16,000 acres of reclaimed phosphate mine in central Florida, and nothing about it looks like Florida. Mining left behind rolling dunes, sand ridges and deep lakes, a landscape with more in common with the inland sand courses of the American heartland than the flat coastal layouts most golfers associate with the state.
Since Red and Blue opened together in 2012, Streamsong has gathered the architects who define modern minimalist design. Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw’s Red, Tom Doak’s Blue, and Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner’s Black all rank among the top 35 of Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses, with Red at No. 20, and all three place inside the top 31 of Golfweek’s Top 100 Public-Access Courses in the U.S.
In January 2027, the collection is complete. Bone Valley, David McLay Kidd’s first course at Streamsong, is routed across ridgelines and natural bowls so old that construction crews unearthed fossils, among them a shark’s tooth. Kidd’s career began with the original course at Bandon Dunes. Bone Valley, at more than 7,300 yards the longest course on property, finally places him alongside Coore, Crenshaw, Doak and Hanse. Golf Digest has already suggested it may be the most fun course at the resort, and this Pursuit plays it within weeks of its grand opening.
Golf across the Pursuit spans four courses: Bone Valley to open, Red and Blue at the heart of the trip, and a walking finale on The Chain, Coore and Crenshaw’s 19-hole short course, a short walk from the Clubhouse.
For the length of the Pursuit, the Clubhouse belongs to the group. All twelve guestrooms are reserved for us alone, set just steps from the first tees of Streamsong Red and Streamsong Blue. A private driving range is ours to warm up on each morning, and custom EZ-GO carts are on hand throughout the stay. Walk out of your room and onto the course.
A butler attends to the group from first light until late evening, and a dedicated Clubhouse Experience manager oversees every detail of the stay. Mornings begin with breakfast in The Player’s Den, the group’s own lounge, with a bar, pool and card tables, and screens for whatever match is on. Through the day the refrigerators stay stocked and snacks are always within reach. Each evening closes with a reception in the Den, followed by turndown, and shoes left out at night are cleaned by morning.
Beyond the Clubhouse lie the grounds that make Streamsong unlike anywhere else in Florida: reclaimed dunes and lakes, open to explore between rounds.
Four rounds define this Pursuit, each routed across a different corner of Streamsong’s reclaimed sand-hill terrain: the debut of David McLay Kidd’s Bone Valley, Tom Doak’s Blue, and two by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the championship Red and the short-course finale of The Chain.
The newest course at Streamsong opens this Pursuit. David McLay Kidd routed Bone Valley across ridgelines and natural bowls between the Red and Black, and at more than 7,300 yards it is the longest course on property. Its name comes from the ground itself: this corner of Florida is among the richest fossil beds in North America, and Kidd’s crews unearthed a shark’s tooth while shaping the course. Opening in January 2027, Bone Valley completes a lineup shaped by four distinct philosophies: Coore and Crenshaw, Tom Doak, Hanse and Wagner, and now Kidd. Golf Digest has already suggested it may be the most fun of them all.
Walking only, with double-bag caddies.
Where Streamsong began in 2012. Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw’s first original design in Florida is wide and unmistakably links in feel, routed through sand dunes that rise as high as 75 feet. It is also the resort’s highest-ranked course: No. 20 on Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses and No. 19 on Golfweek’s Top 100 Public-Access Courses in the U.S.
Tom Doak’s design is the bolder of Streamsong’s original courses, with green complexes full of shelves and dips and holes that move aggressively across the dunes. The par-3 7th is the hole golfers remember. Blue ranks No. 26 on both Golf Digest’s America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses and Golfweek’s Top 100 Public-Access Courses in the U.S.
Saturday closes on foot. Coore and Crenshaw’s 19-hole short course has no par on the card and no tee markers. Players hit from teeing areas marked by the old dragline chains that once worked the mine, on holes running from about 50 yards to nearly 300. Match play is the natural format, and the round is played as much for laughs as for the result. The Bucket, a 2.6-acre putting course, is there for anyone not ready to call it a day.
Three nights at Streamsong, with four rounds and the Clubhouse as home base throughout. Mornings begin over breakfast in The Player’s Den, afternoons leave room to explore the grounds, and each evening returns to the Den for a private reception, with two hosted dinners on property along the way.
