The plan for No. 6
The sixth hole at Streamsong's Red Course showcases the masterful design philosophy of Coore & Crenshaw, presenting golfers with a demanding par-3 that epitomizes the course's strategic complexity. This challenging one-shotter requires precise club selection and commitment, serving as a perfect example of how the Red Course tests players' decision-making skills throughout the round.
Off the tee
Club selection is critical on this one-shot hole. Most golfers will need a mid-iron to long-iron depending on wind conditions and pin position. The key is committing to your yardage and swinging with confidence rather than trying to steer the ball. Aim for the center of the green unless you're certain of the pin position and have practiced the specific distance extensively. The small green size means that even slight mishots can find trouble, so prioritize solid contact over trying to attack every pin.
Approach & recovery
Since this is a par 3, your tee shot IS your approach shot. Focus on a smooth, controlled swing that ensures you catch the ball cleanly. The straight hole layout means wind will be your primary variable - take an extra club if there's any headwind, as coming up short on a small green often leads to difficult chip shots. Pay attention to the firmness of the green, as Streamsong's sandy soil base can create varying conditions throughout the day.
On the green
The small green demands respect with your putting approach. While specific break patterns aren't detailed, expect subtle movements typical of Coore & Crenshaw designs. Focus on getting your first putt close rather than being overly aggressive, as three-putts from long range can quickly turn a scoring opportunity into a bogey. The green's compact size means most putts will be relatively short, so concentrate on solid fundamentals and reading the grain, which can be significant in Florida's climate.
