Tom Doak’s design follows the shape of the land
01 / COURSE
Streamsong Blue was part of the resort’s original 2012 opening and carries Tom Doak’s distinctive design approach. The official course description highlights wild grasses, deep-water ponds and a landscape that rises and falls across the property. Rather than flattening the site, the routing makes elevation change a central part of the round.
The course has a bold visual language: large bunkers, dramatic contours and water features that influence the line of play. The first tee sits at the highest point on the property, giving golfers a broad view across Streamsong before the first shot. It is an introduction that helps explain the course’s sense of scale.
The 7th hole: a par 3 with a bridge and water
02 / COURSE
The 7th is one of the most photographed holes at Streamsong Blue. It is a par 3 played over water, with a walking bridge leading to a green surrounded by dunes. The image is striking, but the playing question is straightforward: select a club that covers the carry with enough margin and commit to the shot.
The 3rd hole offers a different kind of decision. It is a cape-style risk-and-reward hole where a more aggressive line can create an easier approach, while a conservative route keeps more trouble out of play. Together, these holes show how Blue mixes visual drama with strategic choice.
The bridge is a photo opportunity — the carry is the real decision
The 7th hole looks dramatic from the bridge, but the shot still comes down to distance, wind and a committed club choice. The course rewards measured decisions.
A course that rewards adaptability
03 / COURSE
Streamsong Blue’s changing elevations can make club selection and landing areas feel different from one hole to the next. A shot played from an elevated tee may need a different trajectory from one played into an uphill green. The best strategy is to assess the lie and the ground before choosing the club.
The course also differs from Streamsong Red and Black. Its water, contours and visual scale give it a separate identity, so players visiting the resort for several rounds should treat each course as a new design problem rather than repeating the same plan.
Combine Blue with the other Streamsong courses
Streamsong’s official website offers tee-time reservations and day-guest experiences. Blue can be paired with Red or Black on a multi-day visit, but guests should confirm current access, accommodation packages, course conditions and reservation availability.
