The Project

Following the Water, Framing the Course

Streamsong Resort is one of Florida's most visually striking golf destinations — a links-style property built into the central Florida mining landscape, where dramatic sand waste areas, rolling dunes, and open water define every hole. When the resort needed a boardwalk to carry players along the water's edge, the structure had to earn its place in that landscape.

The boardwalk curves to follow the natural shoreline, staying low and close to the water rather than cutting a straight utilitarian line across the view. The curve wasn't a design choice — it was the site dictating the structure. We built to follow the land, not to impose on it.

"A straight boardwalk here would have been wrong. The water bends, the dunes roll — the timber has to move with the land or it doesn't belong."

Southern Yellow Pine was selected throughout for its density, outdoor durability, and the warm tone that reads naturally against Florida's sandy palette. The railing system is kept deliberately minimal — open enough to preserve sightlines across the water hazard to the green beyond, without sacrificing the structural integrity required for daily cart and foot traffic.

The finished structure has become one of the most photographed features on the property — a timber form that looks like it was always part of the course rather than added to it.
