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.

First time playing this year
Golf cart was very slow and needed maintenance was smookie must be gas job, should of went on and report it.
The views and the design
Scotland Yard is a great course for the value has some beautiful views if you look around on alot of the holes extremely difficult in windy conditions but a great course greens are fast and run true pin placement was great the fairways are hard though in alot of areas not every hole but definitely a few of them make sure to stop at the bar afterwards and grab a burger and a beer you won’t regret it overall a great experience
Decent course to play!
Could have used a pocket pro first time playing! Greens were a little firm and a few of them slope front to back and made for some very surprised approach shots. Overall the course was in good shape, fairways had grass, greens were full!!
golf day
Greens are in fair shape. Because of the lack of rain the fairways had a lot of bare spots
Need on course proper restroom then you will have a top notch course
Moved up on my list!!
Greatly improved!!! Hard to beat, without paying a lot more money.
Greens a bit slow, but roll well. Definitely recommend.
Improved
They have put some money back into the course. New cart paths, Tee boxes and greens are much improved. Fairways not so much but getting better..Check in was straightforward..The course was very busy. And slow until the back nine when it opened up.Went in the clubhouse for a late lunch. Several folks were at the bar and only one other table was occupied. We waited at the table for approximately 10 minutes..Once we realized that we may not be served, we just left and got lunch nearby. I would have thought food service would be important, but I guess not. I would suggest a ranger roam the course when it’s busy. Front nine took forever due to slow play that could have been prevented..
Would play again
Doing a lot to improve the course greens were very good and fairways were coming along. I would play this course again
