Streamsong’s fifth course is a David McLay Kidd design planned for late 2026. It adds another full-length course to a Florida resort already known for layouts by Tom Doak, Coore & Crenshaw, and Gil Hanse.
Why this project matters
The addition would give Streamsong full-length courses from four influential contemporary design practices. David McLay Kidd’s course occupies the Roundabout area between the Red and Black courses on terrain shaped by the property’s phosphate-mining history.
Confirmed versus pending
- Confirmed: David McLay Kidd design at Streamsong Resort.
- Published target: November 2026, requiring re-verification.
- Reported scale: more than 7,300 yards from the longest tees.
- Not yet safe to assume: final name, opening day, scorecard, rates, booking window and course-specific operating policies.
How to evaluate it after opening
The first review should test tee accessibility, ground-game options, integration with the mining landforms, walking logistics and the relationship to Red, Blue and Black. Marketing previews cannot establish conditioning, pace or suitability for particular handicaps.
Trip-planning questions
Travelers should confirm whether the new course can be booked individually or only within a stay package, how it changes multi-course transport, and whether opening-season turf restrictions apply. Until the resort publishes a final scorecard and live reservation inventory, do not plan flights around an unofficial date.
Image-rights status
Streamsong maintains a copyrighted media gallery, but public display does not itself grant republication rights. This draft will not use those photographs unless the resort or rights holder provides explicit permission.
Update: the fifth course is Bone Valley
Streamsong has now named its fifth full-length course Bone Valley and identifies David McLay Kidd as the architect. The resort is accepting a limited number of preview-play tee times across all 18 holes. This is more specific than the earlier construction-watch language, but preview play should not be confused with a settled long-term operating schedule.
| Name | Bone Valley |
|---|---|
| Location | Streamsong Resort, Bowling Green, Central Florida |
| Architect | David McLay Kidd |
| Holes | 18 |
| Current access | Limited preview play; official booking only |
| Evidence checked | September 14, 2026 |
What is confirmed—and what is not
The resort confirms the Bone Valley name, an 18-hole routing, David McLay Kidd’s role, and limited preview booking. It describes a reclaimed Central Florida landscape shaped by sand, ridgelines, bowls, and water. Those are operator statements. Golf Buying Guide has not independently played the course, measured conditions, or assigned a rating.
Readers should not infer a permanent green fee, unrestricted day-guest access, a final scorecard, or a guaranteed full-opening date unless those details appear in the live reservation flow. Preview inventory can be deliberately limited while turf and operations mature. The safest approach is to book directly, retain the confirmation, and recheck the itinerary before travel.
How Bone Valley fits the Streamsong lineup
Bone Valley adds another distinct architectural voice to a resort already containing Streamsong Red by Coore & Crenshaw, Streamsong Blue by Tom Doak, Streamsong Black by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, and The Chain short course by Coore & Crenshaw. That context is useful for trip design: golfers are not simply choosing five versions of the same experience, but several design approaches within related sandy terrain.
A first trip should not automatically force every course into the schedule. Consider walking load, travel day timing, daylight, and whether a preview round may take a different pace than an established resort course. Groups can prioritize Bone Valley for novelty, then balance it with a familiar full-length course or The Chain if energy and time are limited.
Who should consider preview play?
- Architecture followers who want to see a David McLay Kidd design early in its life.
- Repeat Streamsong visitors who already understand the resort and want a new routing.
- Flexible travelers who can tolerate changing availability and developing operations.
- Golfers comfortable without definitive reviews of mature turf and long-term strategy.
Golfers seeking predictable conditions, a stable price comparison, or a tightly timed first resort trip may prefer to wait until normal operations and more detailed official planning information are published.
Preview-play booking checklist
- Use the official Bone Valley page.
- Confirm whether lodging is required or recommended for the selected inventory.
- Ask which practice, caddie, cart, and food services apply to the preview round.
- Review cancellation and weather policies before paying.
- Do not schedule a departure too tightly after the round.
- Compare the trip with other profiles in our Golf Courses hub.
