Scotland Yards Golf Club

About
Scotland Yards Golf Club, as its name implies, has a traditional links-style layout that is reminiscent of the traditional links courses of England and Scotland. It offers the experience of classic Scottish golf with the convenient of being only 20 miles north of Tampa. The golf course tumbles across the gently rolling hills of west central Florida. The course plays long and it features wildly undulating greens that require tremendous accuracy. True to its links nature, there is little water but there are plenty of pot bunkers treacherously lurking throughout. The signature hole is the par-5 second. At 554 yards, it is the longest hole on the course and it is only rarely reached in two. The demanding third shot is uphill to a green that is fiercely guarded in front by two massive mounds and pot bunkers.

Great day at Scotland Yards
Was greeted well. Since it was my first time at SYGC man in pro shop gave me some tips about the course.
It was not crowded. Got right out and played in 3 hours 15 minutes. Course and greens in good shape, despite very little rain recently. Greens were true. Played white tees, just under 6000 yards. Course is about an hour from where I live so I won't go to often, but I highly recommend it.
Course is very playable. The layout can challenge both the beginner or advanced player.
Good value
This course, like all others in this area could benefit from planting Bermuda grass in the fareways. Too many bare spots and/or spots filled with weeds in the fairways. Doesn't any course down here plan
Great place to play
This is certainly a great course for all levels of golfers. Good challenges without being too demanding. I asked a few questions about memberships and the guy in the pro shop couldn’t give me the information. Definitely will repeat and consider joining.
Good value
Course has a nice layout, conditions are improving, but need to continue to improve. Does any course in Florida plant new Bermuda seed. In bare spots ? In other states, they actually include seed in the fill for divots. Doesn't seem to be a practice down here ?
