Hole 5 at Streamsong Resort (Black Course)
Par 3 • 211 Yards • Streamsong, Florida
The fifth hole at Streamsong Resort (Black Course) presents a deceptively challenging par 3 that epitomizes the course's minimalist design philosophy. At 211 yards, this straight shot demands precision over a relatively uncluttered landscape, where the absence of traditional hazards creates its own psychological pressure. The small green becomes the focal point, requiring golfers to commit fully to their club selection and trust their swing. Tom Doak's architectural brilliance shines through in the hole's understated elegance, where subtle contours and strategic pin positions can turn a seemingly straightforward tee shot into a demanding test of accuracy. The green's compact size punishes anything less than a committed strike, making this hole a true separator that rewards confident execution while exposing tentative play.

This 211-yard par 3 requires precise club selection and commitment to your target line. With no traditional landing zone, accuracy is paramount over distance.
Avoid going long at all costs - bunkers positioned at 222.8, 237.0, and 266.0 yards will penalize any shot that carries past the green complex.
Target the center of this generous 15,377 square foot green (42x57 yards) rather than hunting pins - the large putting surface gives you room for error.
With the fairway measuring 50 yards wide at the 200-yard mark, focus on a smooth, controlled swing rather than trying to overpower this hole.
This par 3 is ideal for working on your long iron or hybrid. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
