Streamsong Golf Resort Re-Opens Following Impact from Hurricane Ian

Streamsong Golf Resort announced this morning it is once again welcoming guest arrivals and has reopened the Lodge and the three award winning courses (Streamsong Red, Streamsong Blue and Streamsong Black) following the impact of Hurricane Ian on September 28.  The storm, which made landfall as a category four just north of Ft. Myers, Florida continued northeast across the state eventually impacting Streamsong as a category two hurricane late Wednesday evening with the eyewall passing just southeast of the 16,000 acre site.

High winds brought minimal damage to the resort buildings, mostly cosmetic in nature.  Heavy rainfall and area flash flooding rendered several local roads impassable by all but a few vehicles limiting access to Streamsong through Thursday and left standing water on the golf courses.  The Lodge, clubhouses and all amenities including the three courses remained closed through Tuesday to allow the team to remove debris, clean up and test all systems and repair natural sand bunkers and cart paths that remained waterlogged through Monday.
