Current pricing at Streamsong:

Green fee---$419 not including cart fee of $35pp and group caddy fee of $45pp and caddy tip= $499 + tip and maybe tax

Resort guests are $319

So, in retrospect you were correct: It's NOT 1/2 the price, it's LESS THAN 1/2 the price
Streamsong's Green Fees have gone through the roof and they're no longer "walking courses".

I played both the original courses (Red & Blue), the day before they opened to the public, which I think was December 26, 2012. It was a nearly $1000 day. $250/each course. $150/round/caddy. $52 hamburger & a couple of odds & ends. Back in 2012, money was like ... real money.

Their 2nd or 3rd year, when business got slow, Greens Fees in the summer for Florida residents, was $75-$100. That was a sweet deal and I played it few times. Coolest round I ever had there, was playing the Black on Easter Sunday, back in 2019. 4 cars in the parking lot when I got there. It was pretty cool to have the entire facility to ourselves. 37 Putts wasn't good.

I just looked up my scores from Streamsong. Freekin' putting is tough. I played Red & Black one day in March of 2013. 40 Putts on the Red, 34 on the Blue.
