The place
Something completely different: a remote links-style sanctuary rising out of reclaimed Florida mining land — towering sand dunes, firm turf, and no distraction but the golf. Three of the best modern architects each built a course here: Coore & Crenshaw (Red), Tom Doak (Blue), and Gil Hanse (Black) — plus the acclaimed short course The Chain. For a group that just wants to play dawn to dusk, nothing beats it.

Where you crash
The resort
The Lodge at Streamsong
Modern and minimalist over the water, with rooftop bar, spa and dining on site. You stay and eat on property; the isolation is the feature.
◆ The private house
The Private House
Streamsong is remote, so the "house" move is booking out a block at The Clubhouse (on Red/Blue) so the crew shares one building steps from the tee. Want a real house? Lakeland home options sit ~35 min north.
~$500–$1,200/nt
