The plan for No. 10
The 10th hole at Streamsong Resort Blue Course exemplifies Tom Doak's masterful design philosophy with a deceptively straightforward par 3 that demands precision over power. At 187 yards, this tee shot plays across Doak's signature undulating terrain, where the small green sits nestled within the resort's dramatic elevation changes that define this links-style masterpiece. The absence of major hazards shifts focus entirely to green reading and club selection, as the compact target requires pinpoint accuracy to avoid challenging recovery shots from the surrounding native areas. What makes this hole memorable is its pure simplicity—a testament to Doak's ability to create strategic interest through subtle contouring and green complex design, proving that great golf holes don't always need water or sand to test a player's skill and nerve.
Off the tee
Club selection is paramount on this hole - most players will need a mid-iron to long-iron depending on wind conditions and pin position. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shorter iron. The target line should favor the center of the green, as the small putting surface leaves little margin for error. Pay close attention to wind direction, as Florida's variable conditions can significantly affect ball flight on this exposed hole. Commit fully to your club choice and swing with confidence - tentative swings often lead to short misses that can be costly.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. Focus on landing the ball on the green rather than trying to get too close to challenging pin positions. The small green means that any shot that finds the putting surface gives you a reasonable birdie opportunity. If the pin is tucked in a difficult position, aim for the fat part of the green and rely on your putting to make up the difference. Remember that Tom Doak's greens often feature subtle undulations that aren't immediately visible from the tee.
On the green
Streamsong's greens are known for their strategic contours and true roll. While specific break patterns aren't detailed for this hole, expect subtle movements that reward careful green reading. With a small putting surface, most putts will be relatively short, making this a good scoring opportunity if you've found the green. Focus on speed control, as Doak's greens often punish aggressive putting with difficult comeback putts. Take time to read the green from multiple angles, especially if you're unfamiliar with the specific slopes.
