Exciting News for Golf Lovers in Bowling Green!
Bowling Green, Florida, is about to get even more fabulous for golf enthusiasts! The Streamsong Resort, widely recognized for its stellar golf courses, is set to add its fifth course designed by renowned architect David McLay Kidd. This exciting new development is slated to kick off construction in February 2024, with hopes to roll out the new course by the fall of 2026.
A New Jewel in Streamsong’s Crown
For those who may not know, Streamsong Resort already boasts three outstanding 18-hole courses—Streamsong Blue, Streamsong Red, and Streamsong Black—which have been crafted by some of the giants of golf course design, including Tom Doak, Coore & Crenshaw, and Gil Hanse. These courses are consistently hailed as some of the best in the nation, with the Red course even ranking No. 2 in Florida by Golfweek. Each of these courses offers a unique experience, challenging the traditional tropes of Florida golf while highlighting the natural beauty of the region. There’s even a unique 19-hole short course called The Chain, giving golfers ample opportunity to enjoy various styles of play at Streamsong.
The Vision Behind the New Course
The new course will replace an underused pitch-and-putt area known as The Roundabout. Ideally, it will weave seamlessly through stunning landscapes, nestled between the existing Black course and the natural beauty of the area. Kidd’s vision for this course is to complement the already established trails of Streamsong while carving out a unique identity of its own. Designed to embrace the natural undulations and sandy soil typical of the region, this course will include strategic features that enhance both playability and recovery options for all skill levels.
Unique terrain shifts will be incorporated into the design, pushing for a ground game that is fundamental to Kidd’s design philosophy. The eventual layout of the course will commence at the Black clubhouse, without needing any new construction for club amenities, effectively maintaining Streamsong’s existing comfort and convenience.
Remarkable Investment for Golf Lovers
This project marks a significant investment from the resort’s new ownership group, KemperSports, reflecting their commitment to elevate the golfing experience at Streamsong. With this new addition, it will become the only location in the world with courses designed by all four leading architects in modern golf course design: Coore/Crenshaw, Doak, Hanse/Wagner, and Kidd.

Golf fans looking to play at this incredible resort won’t be disappointed. Streamsong offers multiple golf packages that allow visitors to enjoy rounds on all three current courses and The Chain, with prices beginning at $2,950 per player for double occupancy. The resort is conveniently located roughly midway between Tampa and Orlando, so it’s easily reachable from both airports. Unlike many traditional resorts, Streamsong prioritizes creating exceptional golfing opportunities, making it a haven for dedicated golf enthusiasts.

With the addition of Kidd’s course, waiting times to experience the bliss of golfing at Streamsong may increase, as more and more players flock to this splendid venue.
