Streamsong Resort — Blue CourseBowling Green, Polk County

Tom Doak's Blue Course at Streamsong is the resort's original design statement - a routing across deep native-grass hollows and hauntingly still ponds that produces a landscape no golfer in Florida expects to find. At 7,291 yards it's the longest of the three Streamsong layouts and Doak's routing treats the phosphate contours with a restraint that makes the landscape feel found rather than constructed. Frequently cited alongside the Red and Black as part of the most architecturally ambitious golf destination in the state.

The Blue Course opened alongside the Red in 2012, designed by Tom Doak on the same reclaimed sand near Fort Meade. Together the two courses established Streamsong as one of the most acclaimed modern resort destinations in the United States, and the Blue is consistently ranked among the country's best public courses.

Streamsong sits on a worked-out phosphate mine between Tampa and Orlando, and the sand dunes, ridges and lakes that make the resort remarkable are what the mining left behind. Tom Doak built the Blue in 2012 by using that terrain rather than reshaping it. Towering dunes give way to enormous bunkers and real elevation change; the 3rd is a cape hole offering an aggressive line for a shorter approach, and the 7th plays over water to a green ringed by dune. The tee at its high point is the highest ground on the property.

Tom Doak's Blue shares Streamsong's dramatic dunescape with a bolder character, a walking-only design that trades on width, angles and enormous greens.
