The plan for No. 2
The second hole at Streamsong Resort (Black Course) presents a deceptively challenging par 4 that embodies the course's strategic design philosophy. At 361 yards, this straight-away hole appears straightforward from the tee, but its small green demands precision over power. The generous fairway invites aggressive driving, yet the real test lies in the approach shot to a compact putting surface that punishes wayward iron play. With minimal hazards cluttering the landscape, golfers must rely on course management and shot execution rather than hazard avoidance. This early hole serves as an excellent warm-up that rewards accuracy and sets the tone for the strategic challenges that define Tom Doak's masterful Black Course design at this acclaimed Florida golf destination.
Off the tee
The tee shot strategy should focus on finding the ideal distance for your preferred approach yardage. Many players will be tempted to hit driver, but consider whether a 3-wood or hybrid leaves you with a more comfortable wedge or short iron into the green. The straight layout allows for an aggressive target line down the center, but pay attention to wind conditions that could affect your approach shot. Position yourself in the fairway's center to maintain all pin position options on your second shot.
Approach & recovery
The small green is the hole's primary defense, demanding accuracy over aggression. Club selection should favor the center of the green unless you're confident in your distance control with wedges. The compact putting surface means missing the green in regulation significantly increases your difficulty in getting up and down. Take one extra club if you're between distances, as being short of this green is particularly penal. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing rather than trying to attack specific pin positions.
On the green
The small green creates challenging putting scenarios where lag putting becomes crucial. Distance control is more important than reading subtle breaks, as three-putts can quickly turn a scoring opportunity into a bogey. When the pin is tucked near edges, aim for the fat part of the green and rely on solid lag putting. The green's size means most putts will have relatively straight lines, but don't underestimate the importance of pace control.
