The recent restoration work on the front 9 by Gil Hanse has brought back the historic green sizes and introduced much more dynamic putting surfaces and pin positions. The back 9 is as strong a routing as you will ever find anywhere…

Calusa Pines is a fantastic club! First thing we noticed was the clubhouse/locker room looking and feeling totally old school while the club is very new school. Presented a great vibe. Pro shop was stocked with all of the best brands colors and gear.

Conditions are mint. A very tough start (1-4) before getting slightly easier the rest of the way. A great set of green complexes, many are raised, making up and downs really tough.

Played this course with very low expectations as I generally don’t favor target golf courses compared to courses that give you multiple ways to play a hole. Boy was I wrong. Several holes in I realized the genius of Pete Dye on this layout.

Extremely well kept, very challenging, somewhat unreasonable ask around the greens with many chips being very hard to simply put on the green. Overall, it’s one of those great courses that’s super fun to see, but doesn’t reel you back in like some others

I absolutely loved this place. Every city needs a public course like The Park — one that gets everything right from start to finish. From the practice area to the food and beverage setup to the course itself, it’s dialed in and built for golfers who just love the game.

A really good course in the Orlando Area. It does have some aspects of a typical Florida course, but it’s in impeccable condition and does have some variety in the layout.

As much challenging as it is forgiving. Conditions are always pristine you wont see a blade of grass out of line. As most florida golf be prepared to lose balls in the water as it is all over the golf course.

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.

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!

Super funky golf course. Probably the least Florida golf course in all of Florida. Some holes are too hard but again, really fun.

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.
