Exciting New Golf Course on the Horizon at Streamsong Resort
There’s sizzling news for golf enthusiasts! The highly acclaimed David McLay Kidd has just been tapped to design the fifth course at the phenomenal Streamsong Resort. This is a dream come true for Kidd, who has long been eager to bring his signature design flair to this exceptional resort since its inception years ago.
A Little Background on Streamsong
Since opening its gates in 2012, Streamsong Resort has developed quite a reputation in the golfing world. Home to three stunning courses—Streamsong Blue by Tom Doak, Streamsong Red crafted by Coore/Crenshaw, and Streamsong Black designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner—this resort has established itself as a premier destination for golf enthusiasts. But wait, there’s more; recently, they also revealed a 19-hole short course called The Chain, which adds to the overall golfing experience. Now, with Kidd’s appointment, the excitement is reaching new heights!
The Unique Offering
Once the new 18-hole course is complete, Streamsong will claim a unique title: it will be the only resort in the world featuring courses designed by the four giants of modern golf course architecture. How cool is that? The anticipation is palpable, especially since this new addition is set to be over 7,300 yards long, making it the longest course on the property. Golf lovers will have something special to look forward to!
Design Plans and Features
Now, let’s talk about what Kidd has in store. The layout for this new course will nestle comfortably between the existing Red and Black courses, sharing a clubhouse with the Black course. One thing we can expect is a course that respects the natural contours of the land, featuring dramatic dunes and the challenge of shifting winds. Kidd is known for his creativity, and this course will definitely reflect his artistic vision and respect for the land.
Construction Timeline and Vision
Preliminary construction is expected to kick off in February. While a specific completion date hasn’t been set yet, Kidd is aiming to have everything ready by fall 2026. One of his major goals for this course is to engage golfers through significant ground-game options—something he has always prioritized in his designs. Imagine that thrilling sense of strategy and creativity in every round!
Transforming Unique Landscapes
The selected site for the new course brings its own uniqueness. Previously utilized for sand mining, this land includes diverse topographical features, which Kidd values highly for crafting an exceptional golf experience. To ensure every bit of land is used effectively, Kidd’s team will even be relocating sand from other areas for the new course’s initial holes. It’s innovative thinking like this that elevates Kidd to the top of his game!
New Beginnings and Future Developments
In a recent development, Streamsong Resort was acquired by Lone Windmill LLC in 2023, who plan to take things even further by adding new accommodations. This kind of growth signals that Streamsong is not just a place to play golf; it’s a destination that promises to offer a rich, multi-faceted experience for all visitors.
The Wait Is Almost Over
With Golf Digest consistently ranking Streamsong’s courses highly, there’s no doubt that all eyes will be on Kidd’s upcoming course. The ongoing debate about which course at Streamsong is the best is bound to intensify once this course opens. Get ready, golf fans! The countdown to swinging clubs on the newest fairways at Streamsong Resort has officially begun!
