This place is a rip-off. The rooms are adequate for a high end resort but we had no WiFi in the room. I thought the staff was average for a high end resort. That is where the niceties end. The golf was very average and super expensive. Add in the cart fee to the caddie and add the greens fee, you are around $300. The courses are pretty for Florida only. The greens are really tricked up. I am a good putter and averaged 5 three putts a round. Moguls are better on ski slopes. Koehler, Pinehurst, Pebble, Arizona are way better and all but Pebble, less expensive. The food ranged from below average to acceptable but way, way overpriced. But, they have you captive. Just avoid 59 and you will not feel that violated. Skip this place. It deserves to be avoided. read more

Visited recently, can' t recommend. The golf courses are not memorable . It all looks the same. Remote overpriced, avoid. read more

Amazing views, gorgeously decorated and designed interiors, & very nice staff! What else can you ask for? Nothing! 5 stars all the way! You can golf, lay out at the pool, go to the spa, archery, clay shooting... the list goes on and on! This place screams luxe and relaxation the minute you drive onto their 16,000 acres! Will be back! read more

Stayed here for a weekend conference. I've stayed in Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria and Four Seasons properties and this place impressed me more than any other. The architecture is inspiring, designed to maximize views from every possible vantage point. Uniquely designed spacious rooms and comfy beds are perfectly appointed. The food is incredible, and the personalized service makes every moment ideal. For a company or association conference, you couldn't make a better choice. read more

Summary: This is a tough review because they did get a few things right, and then so much wrong...went there with a group of golf buddies that I've been to Ireland, Bandon Dunes, Kohler, and many other golf destinations. Let's start by saying this doesn't even belong on that list. The courses are nice enough, especially for Florida, and a shout out to "BD", the best caddie this side of the Atlantic. The rooms and facility were new and first class. But I could not recommend this place until they get some basics down, like realizing there are guests, and acting mildly interested in their needs helps - maybe just a little? What they did right: -Food: We did the "stay and play" package that included breakfast. Impressive that you could order anything you wanted off the menu, even though there was a buffet, and whatever you wanted was included in the voucher. "59" at the course had incredible lunch and the service there was good. Overall excellent quality of food! What they really need to improve: -Upon arrival we unloaded our vehicle, clubs, bags, etc., loaded onto the carts - you know - the carts the guys that help you load and take to your room? And pushed them to our room. We walk right past the front desk, checked in, and continued to push our carts. We didn't mind this but wondered why nobody even offered to help or do this for us? It was an omen of things to come... -After the first day of waiting 20-30 minutes for our breakfast, even though there were few guests, we beat the system the next few days by a few of us going early and ordering for all. Should this ever have to happen? Our last day we were the only diners and it still took 30 mins. -The wait staff at the main hotel were not only slow, they gave you the impression you were bothering them. Not good. -On the 2nd night a typical Florida storm blew through and took out the electricity to the entire resort. Not an issue, the backup generators kicked on to light the hallways. Nothing else, just the hallways. We left the room to head down to the bar / restaurant that surely must be powered by the generators (the building is only 3 years old). There were a few lights in this common area, and now the rude wait-staff was in full "you're lucky I'm even talking to you" mode. We dined on breadsticks and drinks until we asked "don't you have anything like lunchmeat or something you don't have to cook?" They said we could get smoked salmon. Weird. So we had four plates of smoked salmon with breadsticks. Note they didn't suggest this - was had to ask "what's in the fridge that's edible? Just a strange situation overall. And the next morning there is no mention of it from anyone. What's impossible to improve: -Logistics - the golf course is a 10 minute shuttle ride away although it seemed further because there was never a shuttle ready. We joked about writing the management and suggesting "why not keep one shuttle ready at your TWO locations". It's really not that complex. If became a joke - but why did it have to be - this is such an easy fix. Oh - once at the course, you need to (wait for it) SHUTTLE TO THE DRIVING RANGE. Whoever laid this out must have also designed the backup generator system. -Where are we? This place is in the middle of nowhere so you're stuck on property or can drive 30 minutes to Lakeland which did have a few nice places and sports bars. -"It's 95 out again but it's a wet heat". I've concluded golf in Florida is clearly meant to be from November to March...our fault for coming in September. To summarize, I wouldn't return unless I had a work event there, and would be fired for not attending, and really liked my job. There are too many other golf destinations with better courses and certainly better customer service! read more

6 Months have now passed and I've been quiet on the subject because after the entire groups Social Media attack we were met by Director of Marketing Thomas Parke at our Golf Club this past April. At the time it was a sincere apology to the complete breakdown of the resort and specifically the food & Beverage issue that forced us to write such a scalding review. Mr. Parke indicated he would like to have us all back as his guests when it was convenient for everyone to return. You can't ask for something more than that as we were not lobbying for a free trip but the fact remains it was offered and we accepted. Fast forward 6 months and we notify Mr. Parke of our desire to return on November 8th for 1 evening and 2 rounds of golf. This is the Response. "The Lodge guestroom for Grande Oaks will be $189+tax per room per night; our normal price for this time period is $299. The golf is based on the members using a golf cart for 18-holes @ $115+tax per player per round; our public rate is $145. I have Streamsong Red reserved on 11/8 at 11:15a and Streamsong Blue reserved on 11/9 at 11:10a. I am providing breakfast on 11/9 on a complimentary basis (full breakfast from the menu at either P2O5 at the Lodge or Restaurant Fifty-Nine at the Clubhouse) and well as the special pricing for room as my gesture of thanks to Grande Oaks' members. Further, I have reserved the Cork Room on 11/9 at 7pm for the entire group. If you would like a special menu prepared, I can arrange this as well. Hope you find everything to everyone's liking. Best regards, Thomas Parke In Short we went from being invited back as his guests to a return visit with a small discount on our rooms and small discount on golf with free breakfast. I don't know weather to laugh or be so appalled at the audacity of such an offer after being invited up free of charge in April. I guess a few months and they think we will forget or perhaps season is rolling in now and it is no longer cost effective. Just another reason to avoid this place at all costs. A complete an epic failure has now turned into a running joke. AVOID!!!!!! read more

I'll start this off by saying that I did not play golf here. So no review for the golf aspect of this resort. The best part about this place is that it makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. It's a bit of a surreal experience when you can step outside and not hear any ambient noise from traffic or from other people. The only thing that can be heard on occasion is the surrounding wildlife. Also, the architecture of this place truly makes you feel like you are not in Florida, but rather in New Mexico or Arizona. My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this location as part of a package from a date night website we like to look to for fun ideas. Overall, our stay was pleasant! The room we stayed in was very modern, overlooking the lake on the property. The room had all of the usual amenities, but was designed in such a way where it was almost 2 rooms in one. One side of the room was the "business" side with a desk, TV, books, couch, computer chair, etc. The other side was the "living" side which included the bed and another TV. The bathroom was very fancy as well. It included a walk in shower which was very modern. As part of our package, we chose to have massages done at the spa. The spa itself was very unique, and looked like a cave. Throughout the "cave" were many different little pools that were either hot or cold (for all of our thermogenesis fans out there). The massage itself was very good (they always are), but I am glad that it was part of our package as they are very expensive normally (around the $200 mark!). Later that evening we dined at P2O5 (the resort is built on an old phosphate mining area, hence the name). I had the filet and was quite impressed. The chef came out to talk with our group and was very friendly. After that, we had deserts and champagne outside to end the evening. The deserts very good (macarons, cookies, various finger deserts). The best part of this was the time we got to spend making new friends! Overall, my wife and I had a very pleasant experience here. That being said, I agree with a few of the other reviewers on here. This place is definitely a "guy's club" in that the only people there, besides our group, were older men here to play golf and take their business contacts out for a good time. I commented to my wife a lot that this place looked like a ghost town. Also, when we had lunch at their quick service restaurant by P205, despite being the only people in the restaurant at the time, service was quite slow. In addition to this, the prices for the food are a bit outrageous at $12ish dollars for sandwich and chips. Again, like I said, this place was great for what it is. However, just due to my tastes, I probably wouldn't go back. read more

This is one beautiful resort that I will never be returning to, and will do anything I can to ensure none of my friends/family make the mistake of vacationing here again. What an amazing site in the middle-of-nowhere, with amazing golf course designers that worked with what they had. However, the customer service and staff are so bad that it ruined the trip for our group. They made a mockery of us and refuse to acknowledge it. Complaining to the highest level employees is worthless. They know they made a huge mistake and now come up with lies to protect their staff. Most of this is geared towards the rooftop bar, food and beverage managers, and GM of the resort. I've never been so disrespected and embarrassed in my life. What a joke for a high-end or "luxury" resort. Do yourself a favor and play the Disney courses instead or go just about anywhere else. read more

Upon arrival at Streamsong resort we were greeted by Janessa at the front desk! She was warm, delightful and professional!! She went out of her way to make sure that we knew that she would go above and beyond to make our stay special! Janessa is a fabulous symbol of a wonderful resort!! Highly recommend! read more

Streamsong is an awesome place for a good trip. Just stayed in the just opened hotel and found it to be very nice (should be for $360 per night) Ate several meals and found all of them very high quality. Highly recommend the sliders at Fragamentary Blue Bar. Played the Red course first and found it a pleasant surprise. The terrain, sight lines from tees and greens were top notch. Even with the greens being recently verti cut they ran very tru. My caddie was very good. Played the blue course today and found the greens tricked up and layout less attractive than the Red course, so of you have just one day to play go Red. My caddy today was far too chatty and ruined a peaceful day. This place would have been a 5 star if I hadn't played the blue course today and lost a star due to the green complexes and the caddy. Overall, great experience. read more

Have you ever seen James Bond's Quantum of Solace? Specifically towards the end of the movie when the scene takes place at the remote hotel in the middle of the desert? I am not saying it is the location for an evil bond enemy planning to take control of the local water supply, well maybe but if it was, I didn't see any scheming. Anyway as you approach the hotel, it is a very amazing site. It is located in an area which used to house phosphate mining, thus the landscape is unique and what I would say almost in the middle of no where, surrounded by golf courses, rises this unique hotel. The architecture and shape, very similar to Quantum of Solace, but once again, no evil bond scheming. The layout is pretty darn cool. An art deco modernism of sorts. The hotel ambiance, very nice. Doesn't look like it would get busy unless there is a conference or golf tournament, so it wasn't crowded and the staff nice. The grounds seem very nice with a walking path that takes you around the hotel and through the surrounding area. I didn't get a chance to walk/run it, but it looked welcoming. The rooms, I have to say, were the highlight. A desk, credenza with TV separates the living room and bedroom, so it gives this unique perspective to the room. The lighting throughout the room, including the bathroom is very cool, with lighting along the floor and doesn't blind you when you get up in the middle of the night. The walk in shower, very cool. Makes me want to redo my bathroom. However, the bed pillows were ridiculously thick ... I like my pillows thin ... these were mega thick. So thumbs down for me :( I didn't really get a chance to experience any of the restaurants other than breakfast and that wasn't anything to write home about, and the cost, pretty dang expensive. Maybe it is because the closet supermarket is 45 minutes away. Hmmm? So overall, unless there is a conference to attend, play golf, or you decide to join the spectre organization and plot against James Bond, there might not be a reason to go. So I was lucky to be attending a conference and experience this unique hotel! read more

Very very very disappointing. They employ an external booking agency which just botches reservations. Then when you realize you haven't been sent confirmation numbers, you call to follow up. This becomes a 4 day process to correct THEIR error and lack of professionalism. Then you are re-routed to departments who treat you as if you are caller number 242 at the DMV. Then they continue to botch golf reservations after you've spent 4 days of giving them more information than the IRS, for them to still get it wrong. Covid is not the culprit. Their bad staff is. Jacob in reservations is an exception I must say- poor guy has to pull the weight for everyone else. Golf shop has attitudes and the recreation department the same. They say they are a "Resort"- you get better service at EconoLodge. I would say enjoy your stay but it may be better to wish you "Good luck" read more

Stayed 12/12/12/15/19. Purchased a golf and lodging "package" but was nickel and dimed to death. Cart fee of $74/cart when a package was purchased? Fore-caddy mandatory, here's another $50. Where is the hot tub? It is down the hall, we have a hot and cold pool, only $20/day. You are stuck there since so far out and have no choice. I would rather have you say package is $2K instead of $1600, but that is how you are drawing clients in. We had a group of 8 people and will not be back. We won't bad mouth the place but will inform prospects of how your system works. The golf was good, but beware of the hidden fees. You may be booked now, but with this business strategy, you may want to keep that "vacancy" sign available. JP. read more

I recently played both the blue and the red courses. I have to say that it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend taking a caddy because they are very knowledgeable and really help my score. The course is in fantastic condition and the practice facilities are fantastic. We didn't stay in the resort because the hotel has not been completed. I would definitely recommend checking out streamsong if you're in the Tampa area. I will be coming back for sure to play these courses again and again. read more

All these negative reviews can suck it. Yes. We got lightning delayed. But damn, there was lightning. The food and bev people moved our crowd of 24 to a special room, on there decision. They opened the full menu up. The architecture is awesome. The courses are good, not great. Suggestion, do not play here in September, the temp may say 85, but it's 1000000 degrees. read more

We booked a room here for my husband's birthday and had planned on shooting clays in the afternoon, eat at SottoTerra, and go for deep tissue messages the following morning at the Roman style spa. We are NOT golfers. The main problems with Frank Lloyd Wright looking architecture on large span of peaceful inland Florida with man-made giant plops of dunes is lack of COHESIVENESS and DIRECTION and Southern hospitality. If you want to blow $375 a night plus $90 in "resort fees" for a room in rural Florida and not be overlooking the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy, for the same price, this place is for you. Go to website and click. However, if you want to add golf, which is what this place was built for, add a sporting clay session, or add a spa treatment, it's a round robin, chicken or the egg thing. No one answers the phones for any of these separate departments. And if you want to stay say on a Monday night, you have to check with each department first for the leisure items you wish to participate in before you make a room reservation to be sure there is availability . The resort looks clean though I find it unappealing with the rust colored paint that appears like rusted steel Ibeams. We cancelled our room and clay shoot when no one could supply adequate shooting times. We drove an hour from Ruskin to go to the spa. Pros: The spa personnel, shuttle drivers, valet guys, waitresses are super hospitable. The spa facilities are spot on for calming soothing environment which reminds you of hot springs or caves in Italy. Five different temperature soaking pools with oscillating jet heads. Very quiet. The spa locker rooms have everything you need to shower and get ready after massage. The club house restaurant is great for lunch. The golf scene is thriving. Cons: Terrible customer service representatives answering for new reservations. One named Maryann kept laughing as if she were under the influence of something throughout my attempt to make a reservation. The clay shoot office and slots do not open until a very late 10am. The clay shoot office is hard to reach by phone even by management. Once you have a reservation, it is difficult to change, add amenities, or especially CANCEL your reservation. The phone system will keep kicking your call to voicemail. I called 11 times to cancel our room. And even had to hang up and call a 12th time. Finally had to press for new reservation and demand to speak to a manager who was NON apologetic and blasé. The restaurant in the resort has NO views of the lake or man-made hills. (This could be easily remedied by setting tables by the glass wall facing the hills.) The massages are average. More message therapists should be on the roster that are capable of deep tissue message on males. The staff of each entity resort or club house is devoid of any information or location of any amenity or anything about any area of the resort except for the one they work at. A waitress told us she had worked there 2 years and still did not know her way around resort. We still plan to return for the sole purpose of trying SottoTerra on one of the days that it is open, which is NOT Sunday or Monday (when we booked our accommodation). read more

Played golf for two days. The red course was great but it was a real factory in getting to and from the practice facility. The Black course has tricked up greens but less crowded. The hotel was average. Rated as luxury but less than Marriott service. Our room wasn't ready until 5:30pm. Housekeeping doesn't come until 5pm. Then it is just a quick make of the bed and refresh towels. Great for guys looking for a fun time of playing golf and comradely. Not so great for couples looking for more than golf. The place is in the middle of nowhere, so help might be difficult to get. read more

I really wanted to give this place more than three stars. I think if they tweaked a bunch of stuff this place could be really stellar. My husband & I came here for 3 nights, in the middle of the week, for a work conference for him. Upon arriving, everything is modern & appears to be very clean and tidy. Pretty if you like the modern architecture. The wifi is extremely slow no matter where you are in the resort. For the duration of our stay the cell phone service was extremely spotty and we had a hard time making/receiving calls. Before long we encountered our first problem. Because we were there for a conference, there was a group of rooms booked and we were put within those rooms. Ok, no problem. However, I have a broken leg, on crutches and it takes me forever to get anywhere and not without pain while walking. At this point we didn't want to be troublesome so we didn't ask for any accommodations, as we expected it would be a standard type room. We arrived at a 2 queen bed-room and no tub. I need a tub or a seat to shower without risk of falling and pain. When we contacted the front desk to see if we could get a king bed (for my array of pillows and such to prop my leg at night & still give my husband room to move) we were told that there was NO king beds available that night and definitely no king rooms with a tub. After going back and forth with the more-then-unwilling front desk girl a king bed magically appeared but without a tub. I was told, "you need to make up your mind wether you want a king bed or a tub, you can't have both". She was very unwilling to help come up with a solution. So, we moved to a king room and we found that a shower chair had already been brought into the room. So I'm not sure what all the fuss was about and why she couldn't have just told us they had a shower chair to begin with. That worked out just fine. I ordered in-room dining that night as my leg hurt too much to go downstairs and the food was pretty good. Heidi, who delivered my food, is amazing! She even offered to get an ice pack made for my leg. She shortly came back with an ice pack, a huge bucket of ice and would have gotten me anything that I needed. The following morning it took me 2 hrs, 2 calls to the front desk, and speaking with the manager at the front desk to get an appointment made at the spa. On my way down to the spa the cleaning ladies were more then helpful to figure out the shortest way for me to get there so I did not have to walk far. The spa is clean and well laid out. The front desk attendant was very attentive of anything I needed because of my leg. There was 6 pools with a "grotto" feel. Most of the magazines in the relaxation area were geared towards men so I got my phone and read on there for a while. I wished there was some other reading material so I could get off my technology. I got an eighty minute massage and did the add-on scrub (worth the 40$) and had a pedicure. The scrub and massage was done by a young pregnant girl (I forget her name) and she was VERY good! I fell asleep multiple times. (I used to work in the spa industry and get massages frequently, especially everywhere we go on vacation, so, needless to say, I am quite picky when it comes to the quality of this service.) The pedicure was done on the other side of the spa. I could tell the girl was not very talkative but was very willing to get me anything I needed. I asked if I could order lunch while I was there and they were great about getting me a menu and bringing my food right to me. I was the only client there so it was very quiet and private. I ordered room service again for dinner. I got the burger & onion rings. They were good. I ordered a bottle of Merlot that I thought was from Alexander Valley but it turned out to be a misprint (one of the many misprints/wrong information in the hotel's information folder). Although it was good, it wasn't what I was expecting. Breakfast this morning was very good. I got the SS omelet (it's Spanish style), fruit plate & coffee. Everything was excellent. I did discover in the bathroom, there is no bar soap to wash my hands. I only found body wash in a bottle. It's one of those details I keep mentioning. How do you not stock the bathrooms with out soap to wash your hands with?! That morning, I called the front desk to inform them that the service dept. needed to come fix the outlet that pulled out of the room when I unplugged my hairdryer the day before. No one ever came. When I was on my way to the pool the next day I stopped at the desk & asked again. It was finally done but when we were getting ready for dinner the power had never been turned back on! The pool, which is beautiful. The loungers, pergola & pool-side service was great. I keep feeling like some things are thought out really well and then other small details (that would make a huge difference) are overlooked. In the end, I felt it was better then I had expected based on reading previous reviews. read more

Streamsong Resort - Poolside - Resorts Near Me - Streamsong, Florida

The service was terrible pretty much across the board. I visited the resort for a conference and my firm had to call FOUR times to make my reservation under the group rate. My room was prepaid by my firm, but that didn't stop Streamsong from charging my debit card $570 (over $120 in excess of my final bill, including the prepaid amount for the room), which I didn't notice until the day after I returned home. Upon calling the resort to find out why I was being charged, I was told that they placed a hold on my card (which I was told would only be used if I incurred incidentals) that wouldn't be released for another few days. The food and drinks were unremarkable except for how expensive they were. The bartender at the restaurant/bar, who had very little to do when I stopped by, was aloof, entered the wrong food order, and did not give me napkins, silverware or condiments to go with my sandwich. The rooms are spacious and pretty and the valet and maid were very nice, but otherwise there was little about my stay that was positive. read more

The golf is amazing, incredible, unique. I went down in February with 15 other guys, and it was a trip to remember for sure. When I returned, I told everyone I knew that it's like a Bandon Dunes, but on the east coast with potentially better weather. The resort itself was amazing too. Comfortable rooms and good service/food. HOWEVER, we have returned (after settling up upon our departure) and almost all of the 16 guys who attended have been hit with bogus credit card charges. Bogus charges ranging from $800 to more than $1000. Charges that were keyed in...indicating that something is shady. Each of us have called down to dispute charges and it has been a true hassle. It wasn't a cheap trip to begin with, and these fraudulent charges are ridiculous. It's a real shame that such a beautiful resort is tarnished by such shady practices. I will never return, I will tell everyone I know to never go there, and if you're planning on going, either pay in cash, so they can't screw you, or get a new credit card number upon leaving. Criminals... read more

This resort is a gem. In the middle of nowhere. I did notice though as a female, I was in the minority...mostly businessmen, as this truly caters to though who have expense accounts and enjoy golf. I hope more golfing families find out about this incredibly unique place with gorgeous link-style courses. My boys played 6 on the Red and 7 on the Blue, a unique offer to them while here. And, a nice taste of both courses. The rolling fairways, fast greens, deep bunkers and incredible views make this place awe-inspiring and not missing the courses back home! The lodge and the clubhouse are sleek, modern and show a hint of Frank Lloyd Wright's stylistic flair...blending into nature but standing on its own right in architecture. Inside, just as beautiful! The lobby boasts views that are mouth-watering and scrumptious leather seating areas aplenty. We dined at P2O5...named for the past mining on the land. Tasty but not out-of-this-world. Great options for young diners, just have to ask. All the staff were exceptionally nice, especially in the pro-shop. The caddies and starters were fun to talk to with our junior golfers, and very good about carting us to where we needed to be. Couldn't use a driving cart and opted not to use their push carts...these are long courses and carrying even a junior's bag with 15 clubs was taxing...spend the money on a cart. Wonderful experience and our boys' favorite hole was Blue #7...come see why. read more

I am reviewing the experience overall here but feel the restaurant review should go under its own category and will do so separately. We are not golfers but came to explore resort possibilities and eat. We went on a Monday when two of the four restaurants do not open. We previewed the website first and knew this--those two are for supper and we were there for lunch. The place was a ghost town. It is a valet-only option. The clubhouse is two miles away from the resort, with one of the restaurants. The resort is exquisitely appointed and architecturally awesome to stroll. We loved the trendy looks and lines, the beautiful lakeside view, the immenseness of the halls. We enjoyed the phosphate photo display and the tasteful geodes, shells and teeth on view. There was a nice fitness center nearby. Exterior views of the reclaimed area and "Florida scrub" were spectacular. We had the restaurant to ourselves. The downstairs dinner restaurant was very elegant and included outdoor seating and a business table. This paragraph all rated 5-star. The downstairs restaurant smelled of gas. We struggled with making the water faucets "work" in all the bathrooma with the location of the "auto eye". We were disappointed that one of the two restaurants was closed due to a water issue. The walk from the restaurant to the spa & pool was not "doable" by the handicapped among us. The verbal help from staff was non-existent. The prices in the restaurant and the prices on our bill were not the same (cheaper on the bill). The costs of the rooms was out of the league of "locals". They ran a sweeper in the restaurant while we ate (bleh)--a classy joint would do this before people show up. The (homely) waitress did not refill water glasses without request and a wait. She took forever to bring the bill. Since the place did not appear welcoming, we "skipped" viewing the spa building. On our drive, the 3 caddies we saw did not appear "fit" (chubby) which brought a chuckle. The food was decent, not spectacular in flavor, high-priced for very little "twist" from a norm but a nice change in scenery. A golfer we met at lunch shared he enjoyed the solitude of the place and enjoyed the course though he was surprised at the rolling hills and that golf carts were prohibited at certain times of the day and certain months of the year (first 3 months, he said) to "preserve the ambiance of the course". He said it was tough on his bum knee, perhaps good info for the not so nimble. He tipped us off to a great view from the sixth floor (since no employee did). We luckily found a hose holding a door open and were able to enjoy the view--otherwise the valet indicated it's not viewable until after 4 p.m. when the bar there opens. If the resort wishes to maintain the "elitist" status it should continue as is. If it wishes for more business, it needs to seriously improve its cost structure --or at least do specials" and welcoming social interaction with guests to bring them back. Our humble opinion was that increased local business would increase national word of mouth, positive reviews and an implication that the place was popular rather than secluded. oh and--they mark the way in well but do not mark the way out well. Hope you have GPS! read more

Half-way house closed early...course does not return to clubhouse after #9...parched...sent caddie to reopen...4 cocktails/4 subpar tips sandwiches $150. Cocktails after round @ Fragmentary Blue...expensive...short pours. Dinner @ Sottoterra food/service terrific...saved the day.

Streamsong Resort - Resorts Near Me - Streamsong, Florida

Worst customer service ever! First they couldn't find our reservation that we had the confirmation for from their own website! Then gave us a room that wasn't clean, I found a pubic hair inside the bed. Place looks amazing but staff are careless, rude and not very helpful! read more

Place is absolutely fantastic. Every single aspect. The courses are amazing and kept in impeccable shape. The food is good no matter what restraint you go to. The spa(Rosa&Jill) gave some really wonderful deep tissue massages. If you get a caddie ask for Goose! He really helped my game. read more

This is a beautiful resort with some major resort amenities, but it lacks some shine in execution that take it down a notch. Part of it is probably the isolation, because once you get here you are stuck unless you drive over thirty minutes away. So does the resort take advantage of knowing that once you book you are suckered in to staying? Or perhaps they suffer from drawing their staff from the local area. The local area being phosphate mines, an industry not really known for it's transferability to hospitality and tourism. All the on-site restaurants are like country club dining rooms and lack any individuality. If you stay here more than one night you are stuck with the same options. The restaurant in the lobby looks the same as the restaurant at the Red clubhouse (Restaurant 59 I think). There is nothing individual or unique about either place, beyond the bar it's just a bunch of brown tables and brown leather chairs, with beige carpeting, bright lighting, and almost no music or ambiance. The rooftop bar has an amazing view - I'd give that view 5+ stars. However, the bar up there is bland and again (why?) carpeted, with these hideous beige curtains to match the beige armchairs. It was like being in the lounge of an old folks home. There were these weird lights on top of the bar, which were unnecessary because you are surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. Since the ceilings were so high, they had large overhead lights as well, making the place brighter than it should be at late night. Again, no discernible music, just one giant tv at mounted to the wall at the head of the bar. The entrance to the bar was this black windowless door covered in chipped paint, which was just so odd, if you're trying to market this as a sexy rooftop bar, open until midnight. It looked like a service entrance door. To top if off, they use off-the-shelf mixes for custom drinks (averaging $12-$16 a pop!!)...what I can only imagine was the equivalent to Jose Cuervo's margarita mixes or the Mr.&Mrs. T Mixes you get at the grocery store. Overly sweet, overly processed, and overly cheap. The same can be said for the pool. Beautiful in concept, lackluster execution. The pool filled up quickly and there weren't enough umbrellas for those of us who don't want to look like a baseball mitt when we're old. Streamsong must have gotten a deal on beige curtains because each cabana was outfitted with beige shades on all sides to draw close for privacy or shade. However, when I went to pull down one of the curtains to give us some shade, there were giant mud dauber wasps nests affixed to the curtain! That turned my stomach and worse still, it was on both sides of the curtain, so the people sitting to my right were exposed to the mud dauber nests too. The pool bar "food" was the exact same food coming out of the lobby restaurant. The spa is really interesting - multiple pools of varying temperature to enjoy before or after your service. The sauna was clean and hot. However, my therapist was rough and handled me like a sack of potatoes. I felt rushed and had goosebumps the entire time I was laying on the massage table, even after I asked for an additional blanket. They ran out of seats in the waiting area, so I sat in the sauna until I thought more people had departed for their service. Turns out they double booked my package for the wrong times and I waited an extra half hour; thankfully they rectified this as quickly as possible but it reflects on their execution. The room was very nice - it was large and well lit, with a scenic view of the surrounding area. The bathroom with double vanity and large shower was much appreciated. We should probably have spent more time in there. My husband states that the golf was great, and our lunch at the Bone Valley restaurant was delicious. So yes, if you come here to golf you will probably love it. If you come here expecting it to be like the Four Seasons or equivalent, it is not. Bring your own alcohol and don't stay for very long. Enjoy the pool, but make your own shade. read more

I am spoiled and have played many of the top rated golf resorts. I can say from our entire group we were disappointed with Streamsong. The hotel was very nice, golf was good (but not as good as they hype), food was average, and the caddies were excellent. However, the service was terrible. Either there wasn't enough staff or they simply did not care. Even the staff was complaining about how bad the service was. Go figure. I enjoyed my visit, but I wouldn't return. If Streamsong wants to be the Bandon of the east, they have a lot of work to do. read more

The golf was amazing, the food was very solid, the golf staff was very solid (outside of the fact they are overly aggressive to make you take a caddie) the service and simple things like shacks and bars just being open was horrendous. The wait staff and bartenders treat you like crap, pretty crappy way to spend a ton of money and then be treated horribly in the process. read more

Hotel nice Architecture weird for a resort but the wanted to make a a statement about the industrial history of the property..yes they did but who cares. Had they designed it to look like a Scottish or Irish village they would bring people into a warmer and welcoming environment. In the middle of nowhere Ville that would be cool . Golf courses are great but not something to fall in love with . Yes stunning views and dastardly terrain makes it interesting but too many tricks lurk to turn a good round into a bad one. I'm a low handicapper who has played all over the world.. Great caddies and pro shop and clubhouse staff nice. With the price they charge they need to add more people polish the staff . Just be more visible and forthcoming with help. read more

Don't bother coming here to stay!!! It is a complete let down. If you are fortunate enough to live close enough to visit for the day to play golf - do it but do not use any of their other amenities. Service at the restaurants is slow or non-existent. Spa is way over priced and sub-par. read more

Little out of the way but worth the visit. Food and staff are great! Lots of fun links style golf if you're interested.

A 3 days of golf and a fabulous stay in an outstanding room was mitigated by the hotel staff. I left a IPhone charger in my room and called 5 times and no one from the hotel responded. I guess good help is hard to find. read more

For the FIFTY-NINE RESTAURANT: If you're looking for a weekend retreat or don't mind a long drive in the country to a five star restaurant, put Fifty Nine on your list! It's worth going out of the way. For locals, going off season you'll be able to get in most days easily but a reservation is always recommended as corporate parties sometimes rent out the restaurants on site.

On Valentines day, my husband and I had the most disappointing dining experience at Streamsong Resort's café P205. The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a holiday night; probably no more than 7 or 8 tables occupied with almost that many staff members working. After we were seated, we ordered an appetizer and bottle of wine. At about the time our wine should have been delivered, our waitress appeared again and asked if we had ordered wine. We replied that we had just given her our wine order. Our entrée order was taken and we still had no wine. Our waitress came by several more times to apologize for the delay. After waiting approximately 20 minutes since the time our wine order was taken, we saw our bottle of wine being carried through the restaurant to the bar area. At this point the bartender had two bottles of wine and kept peeking around the corner, I suppose looking for our waitress. We waited another 10 minutes. The table behind us inquired about their wine since their entrees were already being served. At this point the bartender delivered the wine to their table and proceeded to give a long spiel. (Not to be small, but this is a $20 bottle at Publix, not a vintage wine). We were furious by this point. We also had empty water glasses for at least the last 15 minutes we waited. We were so fed up that we walked out. WE WALKED OUT after driving almost an hour to get there on Valentines day. After another hour drive to return to civilization, we had stellar service at the PDQ drive through for our evening out. My husband wrote to the resort and restaurant manager, but we never received a response of any kind, not even an apology for our disappointing experience. Bottom line...Save your money and forget the hype until the restaurant has decent management and a wait staff that doesn't resemble the heehaw cast. read more

The location is remote, kind of feels like driving into the lodge from the Shining with modern architecture. The golf courses are very good, nicely maintained. The caddies were knowledgeable and friendly. The accommodations are nice, but for the price they should be awesome. The food was good but again not awesome which based on the prices it should have been. Service at the bars and restaurants was medicore. The resort appears to be a tax write off for the Mosaic Corporation. There is alot of potential here but they are not hitting on all 8 cylinders. read more

Streamsong golf resort might just be the biggest ripoff in history. I have played some of the best courses in the world and I have never felt so unhappy with a golf experience as I have at Streamsong. I don't understand why this place gets the press it does from the golf magazines. The place is in the middle of no where. I have been here 5 times now and I just don't get it. The courses are ok...not great, just ok. The hotel is very nice, but you pay prices that aren't for ok....they are for great. Save your money...there are much much much better venues. If you do decide you to come, make sure you bring your wallet. This is the land of 20.00 cheese burgers and 60.00 six packs. read more

A Beautiful Mistake! The hotel is in the middle of nowhere.. There isn't a gas station or restaurant for at least 25 minutes outside of the resort. The architecture is phenomenal. It definitely looks modern and resembles a hotel you would find in Jurassic Park. I came to this resort because my business meetings have been held here for two years in a row. The first time I came they had a miscommunication and gave my husband and I a room with a double bed. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and the room was not nearly as clean as I anticipated. However; the food was good and the spa was very nice. My second visit, I've left disappointed and pissed off. The food was not comparable to the food we had the year before, and again they completely dropped the ball in reservations. More than half of our group didn't have rooms, some were lucky and received suites because the regular rooms were booked. However, my husband and I ended up in yet again another room with double beds... I asked for a late checkout and they told me it would be $150. That's hilarious considering the rate I'm given through my business for our convention is $149.00 for the night. I was asking for the additional hour as I was going to be using the spa for a massage. I was never informed that there is a 24-hour cancellation charge agreement. When I called the spa to cancel my appointment, that is when they informed me that I would be charged for the full service. After explaining that they would not allow a late checkout I was no longer interested in staying to use their spa. They agreed to not charge as I was not informed of their policy. At checkout I was given a bill for $504 for two days which was fine... The part that wasn't OK, is my credit card was charged for $735. What type of discrepancy happens between checking out and the actual billing of my card is a mystery. I arrived before my husband so I gave them my credit card in order to receive the room key, when my husband arrived he gave them our business credit card to put all charges on. Both cards were charged different amounts and included the cost of the room... SERIOUSLY! After all the hassle, now I'm having to call an accounting department and receiving voicemail at 1pm on a Friday. read more

Streamsong Resort - This sandwich had absolutely no taste I took one bite out of it, and the waitress never even asked if it was okay... Smh - Resorts Near Me - Streamsong, Florida

I came here for a guys golf event and as many have said pulled up to this Oasis in the middle of nowhere and was impressed with the architecture of the hotel and was eager to see what all this resort had to offer. Unfortunately, once inside it was pretty boring. No one seems to be very happy to work there...and I can understand why as they all have to drive a long way to work. The food is just par at best and the drinks are watery and quite expensive. The place was a bit of a ghost town and you felt like you needed to whisper all the time. They just need to make some tweaks since as a guest you really don't have anywhere else you can go. The pool is very plain and no one was out there by it. That said we were there for golf so I was ready to overlook the lack of pop from the hotel, but here again the golf staff acted like you were bothering them to be there playing. They offered very forced greetings, and generally only helped if you tracked them down. From a course perspective it was decent, but they have crazy rules. The course is built on a minimalist concept, so there's lots of unmanaged area which is ok but doesn't give you that crisp grand feel. But the caddies jump all over you if you even get close to a little blue line that in most cases is 150 to 200 yards from each hole. They also have a touchy lighting warning system that if you ask me is on purpose to make everyone come in a lot to help drive up the bar tabs. We were called if the course 5 times and they don't have any shelters and they make you all come in and generally don't send you back out for at least 40 minutes. We wasted some much time coming in and waiting....oh and by the way most of the time it was partly sunny as we sat there waiting. They were not nice to anyone in the group and we asked if we could just sign a waiver and play on. Not a chance. They wanted guys in the bar drinking to make money! We ended up only getting half of our rounds in and all left frustrated. It may be worth the price in the summertime, but once you see how much they yank you around and pull you in for "weather" within 100 miles you will not find it worth it. And definitely don't come in the winter when the rates go to $150 and $200. I promise you it's not a course worth it. I've played a bunch of nice courses all over the country and this one wouldn't even be in the top 200. Bottom line is that this place could eventually become a nice place, but they are nowhere close to having it figured out right now. Give it 2 years and then check the ratings again to see what folks say. read more

Overpriced and overrated. The golf course is fantastic but the service was so horrible, it overshadowed the experience. Many issues. I would stay away for a few years and hopefully management will get this figured out because it could be something special. read more
