Black has the biggest and craziest greens I've ever played, the punchbowl 9th is truly ridiculous (in a good way). The course is a little less flowing compared to Red/Blue, which is why I don't have it rated quite as high, but it's still a bucket list course!

Tough for me to settle on a rating for Blue, I found the front 9 to be the best 9 at Streamsong and the back the relative weakest (still great). So much more interesting than typical Florida golf, Streamsong Blue has strategy, elevation changes, and drama without the constant threat of losing balls.

From start to finish I found Red to be the least polarizing of the 3 on property. With the short grass everywhere, the runoffs are much less obvious from a distance compared to the bold features of Blue and the scale of Black.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Lakeland, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
