The plan for No. 6
The sixth hole at Streamsong Resort (Blue Course) serves as the perfect finale to the front nine's return journey to the clubhouse, offering golfers a strategic par 4 that rewards precision over power. At 345 yards, this straight hole may appear straightforward, but its deceptive simplicity demands careful course management. The tee shot presents a generous fairway that invites aggressive play, yet the small green complex requires a calculated approach shot to find the putting surface. As the lowest handicap hole on the course, it challenges even skilled players to execute two quality shots in succession. The compact green's subtle contours punish wayward approach shots, making distance control paramount. This closing hole of the outward nine perfectly embodies Gil Hanse's design philosophy at Streamsong, where strategic thinking trumps raw distance, setting up golfers beautifully before they venture toward the resort's spectacular signature seventh hole.
Off the tee
Driver is certainly in play for longer hitters, but the key consideration is positioning for your approach rather than maximum distance. A well-struck 3-wood or hybrid leaves most players with a short iron into the green, providing better control and spin for the small target. Focus on the center of the fairway - with no significant hazards to navigate, your primary concern is finding the short grass and avoiding any rough that might complicate your approach shot. The straight layout means you can be aggressive with your target line down the middle.
Approach & recovery
This is where the hole's true challenge reveals itself. The small green requires precision over power, making club selection critical. Most players will have anywhere from a wedge to a mid-iron depending on their tee shot strategy. Take one extra club and swing smoothly rather than forcing a shot - the small green punishes approaches that come in too hot or with insufficient spin. Pay attention to pin position, as the compact putting surface offers limited bail-out areas for missed approaches.
On the green
The small green means most putts will be relatively short, but don't underestimate the subtleties of Streamsong's putting surfaces. Gil Hanse's design philosophy emphasizes natural contours, so expect gentle breaks that follow the land's natural flow. Focus on speed control above all else - with limited green space, running putts well past the hole can leave challenging comeback attempts.
