Streamsong (Red Course)

Streamsong Red is a modern masterpiece that captures the imagination of purist golfers and architecture aficionados alike. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw and opened in 2012, the Red Course helped establish Streamsong Resort as one of the most important golf destinations to emerge in the 21st century. Carved through central Florida’s old phosphate mining terrain, the layout showcases towering sand dunes, wide fairways, natural lakes, and a minimalist design philosophy that allows the land to speak for itself.

Red's routing is bold and evocative, embracing the natural elevation changes and striking contours rarely seen in Florida golf. It’s a course that rewards creativity and strategy, with green complexes that are both expansive and undulating — requiring not just precise ball-striking, but thoughtful approach play and a deft short game. From start to finish, Red offers a rhythmic blend of risk-reward options and scenic beauty that feels more like Scotland or Australia than Central Florida.

The most memorable stretch includes holes like the drivable par-4 9th, the long and dramatic par-5 13th framed by dunes, and the photogenic 16th that plays alongside a peaceful lake. The par-3s shine on the Red Course — each different in length and direction, each calling for a different shot shape.

Red is consistently ranked among the top public courses in the U.S., and paired with the resort’s immersive experience — from luxurious accommodations and practice areas to dining and guided caddie play — it makes Streamsong a must for any serious golf traveler. Whether you're chasing rankings, architecture, or unforgettable views, the Red Course delivers a golf experience that stands alone.

Part of a three-course golf destination: Streamsong Red is one of three distinct layouts at Streamsong Resort. If you’re planning a golf trip, don’t miss the Blue Course, designed by Tom Doak, and the Black Course, a bold and modern design by Gil Hanse. Together, these three top-ranked public courses offer an unforgettable variety of terrain, strategy, and scenery in the heart of Central Florida.
