The MGA Race to Makkah

Streamsong

September 25–28, 2026

This isn't just another golf event. This is the Azzad Asset Management Race to Makkah at Streamsong Resort, home to three of America's most acclaimed golf courses, carved from the striking Florida landscape.

And now, it's your turn.

3 Extraordinary Courses

Golf. Faith. Legacy.

MGA World Championship

The Muslim Golf Association doesn't do ordinary.

When we looked for a home for the 2026 Race to Makkah USA qualifier, we didn't want a venue. We wanted a statement. Streamsong. Wild, breathtaking, and unlike anything else in American golf.

It’s exactly that.

Muslim golfers belong on the world stage.

And this weekend, in the heart of Florida, they'll prove it.

The Race to Makkah

Born from the Earth.
Built to Challenge You.

There are golf resorts. And then there is Streamsong.

Carved from the ancient phosphate mining landscape of central Florida, Streamsong doesn't look like anywhere else in golf. It doesn't play like anywhere else either. Where most courses tame the land, Streamsong lets it breathe, rolling ridges, cavernous bunkers, and greens that seem to dare you to hold them.

Three courses, three architects, three completely different tests of everything you have.

As part of the Azzad Asset Management Race to Makkah — a competition that has already changed lives and already produced champions — stepping onto these fairways is something entirely different from an ordinary round of golf. Three players before you have made the journey all the way to Saudi Arabia and returned with a world title. This weekend at Streamsong, someone in this field begins that same journey.

Every fairway you walk, you walk with intention. Every shot carries your niyyah. And with a place at the World Final on the line, every stroke is a step closer to something you'll carry for the rest of your life.

Red. Blue. Black. Three Masterpieces. One Weekend. Everything on the Line.

BLACK

Bigger. Bolder.
And unlike anything else in golf.

Streamsong has three courses. The Black is where it begins.

Gil Hanse, the architect of the 2016 Rio Olympics course, was handed the third section of Streamsong's ancient landscape and given one instruction: go further. He did. The Black is wider, wilder, and more dramatic than anything that came before it. Fairways that seem to stretch on forever. Greens averaging over 11,000 square feet, the largest, most complex putting surfaces in American golf. A course that rewards audacity and punishes the timid thinker.

The par-4 9th is the stuff of legend: a blind approach over a ridge to a vast, sunken punchbowl green that sits hidden until your ball — and your hopes — disappear below the horizon. On the 13th, Hanse does what almost no architect dares: two separate greens on the same hole, each requiring a completely different game plan from the tee. And the 18th closes with a 586-yard par-5 that asks every last question golf has, while a lagoon guards the green.

This is where your Streamsong weekend begins. Practice round on the Black to find your game, read the land, and settle into the moment. Because what comes next is where the Race to Makkah is won.

Some golf courses are designed. The Red feels like it was discovered.

Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, the architects who reimagined Pinehurst No. 2 for the ages, walked this ancient phosphate mining land and found something extraordinary beneath it. Dunes rising 75 feet. Sandy fields stretching to the horizon. Lakes catching the Florida sky. They didn't fight the landscape. They followed it.

The result is a course that plays differently from anything you've ever experienced in America. Links instincts meet Florida drama. Bump-and-run shots one hole, precise iron play the next. The greens are enormous and treacherous, particularly the legendary 16th, a Biarritz par-3 played over water with a nearly 60-yard putting surface split by a dramatic swale. Golfers who've seen it in pictures say pictures don't do it justice. They're right.

Firm. Fast. Unforgiving of lazy thinking. Endlessly rewarding for good golf.

Tournament Day One. The stakes are rising, the leaderboard is taking shape, and the Red doesn't care. It will play its game. The question is whether you can play yours.

RED

The One That Started the Legend.

BLUE

The Thinker's Course.
And the Most Beautiful Hole in Florida.

Tom Doak doesn't design golf courses to punish you. He designs them to expose you.

Stand on the first tee of the Blue, perched on a 75-foot sand dune, the entire course stretching out below, and you'll understand immediately that this round will demand something more than raw power. Doak's genius is in the angles. Fairways that look generous but funnel towards danger. Greens with shelves and dips that turn a good approach into a scramble. Bunkers placed not where you'll spray it, but where you'll aim when you're trying to be clever.

The par-3 7th is the course's signature moment, and one of the most photographed holes in American golf. The elevated tee fires across a strip-mine river to a green nestled between towering dunes, the water shimmering below. Doak himself once joked about putting in a zip line to cross it. You'll understand why when you're standing on that tee with a qualifier spot at stake and the wind picking up off the lake.

This is the final round, and it begins all at once. A shotgun start across the Blue, rare at Streamsong, means all 72 Muslim golfers tee off simultaneously. Every hole is alive at the same moment. The energy is unlike anything in amateur golf. You'll hear the echoes of other groups fighting their own battles across the dunes as you fight yours.

The Race to Makkah is decided here. Play the Blue and you'll score what your game truly deserves. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's Doak's gift to you. And his warning.

The World Final.

Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, Saudi Arabia.

This is where the journey leads. And we know, because we've already been there.

At the inaugural Race to Makkah World Final, held at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club on the edge of the Red Sea, a venue that has hosted the Saudi International and LIV Golf, three divisional champions were crowned. Three Muslim golfers, who started their journey exactly where you are now, stepped onto one of the world's great courses and made history.

This year, Streamsong sends its qualifiers to join that legacy. They'll compete across three divisions alongside finalists from the UK, South Africa, and beyond, each one chasing the same title, the same moment, the same story.

The champions are real. The stage is real. The only question is whether you'll be standing on it.

One Sport.
Three Nations.
One Direction.

The Race to Makkah isn't a local competition.
It never was.

Muslim golfers in the United Kingdom are competing right now. In South Africa, they're competing. This September, for the second time, the United States joins them.

The Race to Makkah is one unified platform connecting Muslim golfers across three countries, three continents, and three handicap divisions — for the low handicapper, the mid, and the one who refuses to let a handicap index define their ambition.

Every division has a champion. Every champion earns the same prize. Every champion stands on the same stage in Saudi Arabia.

That's the point.

This isn't about handicap. It's about belonging. It's for the Muslim golfer who plays every weekend, who learned the game late, who plays at a club where nobody looks like him — and who never imagined his love of golf could take him to the Red Sea coast to compete on a world stage.

At Streamsong, the competition is real — but the bigger picture is wider still. You're not just playing for a trophy in Florida. You are a thread in something being woven across three countries simultaneously, a movement that has already crowned its first champions and is only just getting started.

The UK played their part. South Africa played their part.

Now it's America's turn.

The Resort

1000 Streamsong Dr, Bowling Green, FL 33834

Set within thousands of acres of untouched Central Florida wilderness, Streamsong Resort is a destination defined by stillness, scale and understated luxury.

The Lodge guestrooms and suites, envisioned by renowned architect and artist Alberto Alfonso, are designed as a sanctuary of calm, where architecture and landscape exist in quiet harmony. Floor-to-ceiling glass draws the outside in, framing vast lakes, rolling dunes and endless skies that shift beautifully from sunrise to dusk.

Inside, every detail has been considered with intention. Refined textures, natural tones and bespoke furnishings create a space that feels both contemporary and deeply restful. Luxe linens, plush robes and carefully curated amenities elevate the experience, offering comfort that is effortless rather than overstated.

Beyond the room, the resort unfolds as a place to truly slow down. Expansive terraces, serene lakeside views and thoughtfully designed communal spaces invite reflection, conversation and connection. Whether beginning the day in stillness or unwinding after a round, there is a sense that time moves differently here.

This is not simply accommodation. It is a retreat, crafted for those who appreciate space, privacy and a more considered pace of living.

What’s Included:

  • Bedrooms

    Streamsong Lodge rooms are designed for golfers who appreciate both comfort and character. Choose between a King or Twin configuration, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping views of the surrounding lakes, dunes, and wild Florida landscape.

    Every room comes with plush linens, boutique amenities, a private living area, and two LED TVs — everything you need to unwind properly between rounds. High-speed wireless internet keeps you connected, though Streamsong has a way of making you want to forget your phone entirely.

  • Zabiha Dining

    Streamsong, in collaboration with MGA, will be curating a private Zabiha dining experience exclusively for our players on Friday and Saturday & Sunday evening, a setting as memorable as the golf itself.

    Each morning, a private all-American buffet breakfast will be ready and waiting for MGA guests, so you can fuel up and get to that first tee feeling sharp.

  • Spa & Fitness

    Relax and revitalize at AcquaPietra, the grotto-style sanctuary at Streamsong. Inspired by the spa’s serene natural surroundings, it offers a tranquil haven to nurture your mind, body, and spirit, while enlivening the senses.

    Enjoy an extensive selection of personalized services, including body treatments, facials, massages, esthetic services, unique therapy pool experiences, and more. A dedicated fitness centre is also available to all resort guests.

  • Tournament Golf

    Your package includes exclusive access to the MGA East Coast Championship at Streamsong, one practice round on Streamsong Black, followed by two championship rounds on the Red and Blue courses.

    The final round on Monday is a shotgun start, meaning all players tee off simultaneously and finish together. The top three players in each division will win an all-inclusive place at the MGA World Final, taking place in Saudi Arabia, where they will also have the opportunity to perform Umrah.

  • Brotherhood

    What makes the MGA experience unique is the community you join. You'll meet and compete alongside like-minded Muslim golfers from across North America, an environment where you pray and play together.

    Standing shoulder to shoulder on the prayer mat, then competing on the same course minutes later, is something truly special. It's what makes this trip unlike anything else in golf.

  • Prizes

    The MGA Race to Makkah USA East Coast Championship gives players of all abilities the chance to compete for an all-expenses-paid place at the MGA World Final in January 2027, held at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in Saudi Arabia, where you'll compete alongside Muslim golfers from across the world and have the opportunity to perform Umrah.
