Best Place to Golf in Florida That Doesn't Feel Like Florida

If you haven't been to the Streamsong, a stunning facility just south of Lakeland, put it at the top of your weekend getaway list. The organic lines, contours and materials of the resort's architecture blend seamlessly into a landscape painted with peaks, valleys, rolling hills and 100-foot sand dunes. That same aesthetic extends to the clubhouse from whence golfers set out to tackle the resort's Red course (designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore) and Blue course (designed by Tom Doak), both of which rank among the top five courses in Florida and top 25 courses in the country, according to Golf Digest. The rugged terrain offers a powerful backdrop for hackers and scratch golfers alike, though no matter your skill level, you’ll likely be saying, “I can’t believe I’m in Florida.”
