The streamsong resort's red, blue, and black courses are located on a large piece of reclaimed land inside a massive 16,000-acre property that was once extensively mined by the mosaic group, a major supplier of phosphate and potash to the agriculture industry.

Mosaic concluded that the most suitable move for the decades-old polk county site would be its renovation from mining landfill to upmarket golf resort in the mold of bandon dunes, as part of a commendable dedication to environmental sustainability.

And if this new facility will achieve a prestige close to that of its oregon equivalent, all the better, because discerning golfers will undoubtedly come to streamsong in large numbers, eager to try the golf on offer.
