Having first journeyed to Streamsong 3 years ago to play 36 holes of golf in one day (I only achieved 34 before a lightning storm), I wasn't sure if/when I would make it back. However, recently I went on a guys golf trip where we were able to play all the golf courses there. This update, however, focuses on my return to both Streamsong Red and Streamsong Black for my second time seeing those tracks.
For Streamsong Red, I had originally played it in benign conditions and with a dedicated caddie. Although I had to handicap in my last two holes due to the rain-out, I was very pleased to finish with a strong 79. Upon my return, I felt little stress and was ready to improve upon that. However, I quickly learned that my 2019 round was far better than I remember it as the Red Course proceeded to destroy me. In my worst round of 2022, Coore/Crenshaw's lakes and sand traps proved too much for me as I fell into mistake after mistake, and then putted horribly to boot.
The other side of the coin, however, was my second attempt at Streamsong Black. In my first visit I did not know it was a par 73 and played the shorter combo tees. However, after a horrible front nine, my attempt at a comeback fell short, finishing with my most hated score, 80. This time around, I decided to play further back at the Black tees, and remembered better where I could safely miss of the tee. Thus, I flipped the script, playing a much better front nine and then, although sadly fading slightly at the end, finishing with a triumphant 79.
Either way, both golf courses have been updated.
