Welcome to Streamsong-Central Florida’s Golf Destination, with a fifth course on the way.
STREAMSONG TO BUILD ANOTHER!
Streamsong Resort in Streamsong Florida has announced the building of a 5th golf course.
Construction is expected to begin early this year, and architect David McLay-Kidd has been tapped to head up the design.
Kidd is best known in the United States for his designs of Bandon Dunes, Mammoth Dunes at Sand Valley, plus Gamble Sands in the State of Washington. This new course (still not named) will be located on the Streamsong property, between the Red Course (Coore & Crenshaw) and Black Course (Gil Hanse).
David McLay-Kidd takes questions from a live audience at the recent PGA Show, about being picked to design the new course at Streamsong Resort.
“I have read many times how great players have a love for the majors. I was not sure what that meant when I was younger, but now I get it. In the world of golf design, there are certain properties, locations and even owners that working for can be like playing in the majors. Streamsong for me is a Major,” said Kidd.
“The destination is world renowned and KemperSports gets it. To be included in that group of architects requires my team and I to do something exceptional. That opportunity both excites me and makes me nervous, but in a good way. My team and I are so excited to add to the history of a place so young and yet rooted in a tradition of exceptional golf architecture.”

Streamsong first opened for play 13 years ago, in 2012. At that time the resort had two courses the Red and he Blue (Tom Doak).
2017 saw the opening of the Hanse Course the Black Course.
But more recently was the opening of the Bucket Course, a 2.5 acre putting course. In 2024 the Chain by Coore and Crenshaw a short course has mostly par-3 holes.
The Shack at 1717 Chestnut Ave. in Glenview is open daily with 7 simulators and a putting green. So book a hitting bay today at TheShackGolfClub.com or call (847)-904-2905.
“We are excited to partner with David to lead the continued evolution at Streamsong Resort,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “He is one of the most talented architects of his generation with a unique ability to design golf courses that are visually appealing, challenging, and great fun to play. I know the entire world will be excited to see what he creates on some of the best property of the resort.”
There is no time table for the course to open and construction to be complete. When asked about a name for the course, Kidd shrugged and Skinner’s response was we don’t have one yet. But Skinner added, we have three courses that are named Red, Blue and Black. So maybe go from there. Well Gold, White, and Green are still available. Another option is the Sand Dunes at Streamsong.
