Streamsong Resort: Black

About Streamsong Resort: Black

Gil Hanse delivered something truly special with this 2017 addition to the Streamsong property, crafting a course that feels more like Scottish links golf than anything you'd expect to find in central Florida. Built on reclaimed phosphate mining land, the Black course takes full advantage of the dramatic elevation changes and sandy soil to create a windswept, minimalist design that rewards creative shotmaking over raw power. Hanse's signature restraint is on full display here – wide fairways give you plenty of room to swing freely, but the real challenge comes in reading the subtle slopes and choosing the right angles into greens that are defended more by clever contouring than penal hazards. What sets the Black apart from its Red and Blue siblings is its more rugged, unpolished aesthetic and the way it plays firm and fast year-round. The routing flows naturally across the property's rolling dunes, with several holes offering genuine risk-reward decisions that can dramatically alter your scorecard depending on your appetite for adventure. At a resort where all three courses are exceptional, the Black might just be the one that lingers longest in your memory – it's the kind of course that reveals new secrets each time you play it.
