Description
Tom Doak was given the property that became the Blue course and designed one of the most playable courses you'll ever encounter. With fairways seemingly acres wide, the Blue course offers much more forgiveness off the tee than its neighboring Red course. The view from the 1st hole and the all-world par three 7th hole are the two most impressive highlights of the course and worth the price of admission on their own. In comparison to the Red course, the Blue course is more forgiving off the tee and around the green, features larger and deeper bunkers, and hosts smaller yet more contoured greens.
Signature Hole
By far the most impressive hole on the Blue course and located on Streamsong's best parcel of property is the 7th hole, a 203 yard par 3. The elevated tee box sits on a dune on one side of the strip mine river while the green sits inside a dune complex on the other side of the water. Bunkers go from the front left of the green around to the back right thus creating the safe miss right of the green where the grassy area up the neighboring sand dune will work balls onto the putting surface. The bridge across the water adds character to the hole that is also the most photogenic at Streamsong.
Wegolf Insider Tip
Playing the Blue is a unique experience, a direct trip to the latest trends in golf course design. A perfect and unico type of grass covers it from tee to green, the tee marks simply "rest on the floor", the level breaking of the pice of land in some parts of trail is atonishing (par 3 of #7, and par 4 of #18). It is very fun to play and challenging at the same time, laying over a terrain of great beauty. While all 3 courses are excellent, the Blue is our favourite.
