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.

Golfer Reviews
Fun course, good conditions overall, just missing a couple things to be great..
They do not have a driving range or any nets to hit into to warmup. Perhaps someday they will be able to invest in a hitting area with mats and a net system. The practice green was good even though they had flag pillars instead of cups.
They have limited cart paths and once on the turf its a very rough ride, need to be careful to avoid hurting your back or losing something out of the cart while off-roading.
The course was in pretty good condition overall, fairways are not perfect but they are good. Rough was cut well enough to hit out of, I didn't lose any balls on the round. Greens were also good and all played consistently.
There are several blind tee shots which was fun but I did have to drive up the hills to make sure the group ahead was out of range as it is impossible to see the fairway ahead from the tee boxes.
The course is an hour drive from me which is a bummer because I would play there more often. Its worth a visit if you haven't been yet.
Greens are superb and fast - course in green and well kept
Overall we drive for show putt for doe. Greens are the last piece of a great drive and these greens are cut low and roll smooth and fast. Really need to be sharp about you putting line. Great practice for the more expensive course play.
Kudos to the staff
I have played here often over the last 20 years and this is the best condition I have ever seen the course. Considering the price, tee box to green, I'd give it an A+.
Nice!!!
Really enjoyed playing Scotland Yards. For the $$ you won’t find a better course in the area. Fairways and greens are really nice !!!
I’ll be back!
No better place for the money. Fairways, greens and carts were on par with much more expensive courses. I booked a tee time at 8am. The only thing that bothered me was I booked the last opening at 8am. I expected to play with 3 others. Instead the old farts that were supposed to play with me said they were part of a league and I ended playing with myself,(no pun intended). I even said I would play from the senior tees because I am 57 years old. Either way I played from the whites all by myself. I caught up to the foursome in front of me all day because I’m not the type to play through. I’ll still be back because I live close, but these seniors need to understand that no one is playing free.
In needed swim gear.
Played the front with a friend beautifully, then came the rain . Ruined everything. I had a 10:45 tee time. Wanted a rain check but I never went to the clubhouse. I was too drenched. If they wish to give me a rain check, I won't decline. My username is not the numbers.
Good course, greens have a lot of room to improve
Overall good course.
- Golf Now always plays switch and bait with price on hot deals. Always
- course is ok
- greens are actually quite bad, bumpy and very inconsistent hole to hole.
Overall, decent! 7/10 rating
No cart Girl/Guy-
No range to loosen up-
Layout was really fun-
There was a 5 man ahead of us and a drunk 4 man ahead of them, not sure who was holding up who but it did create some waiting around!
Regardless of the above mention, if the greens were just a little better I’d say 8/10+ to a 9-
Granted Florida is in a drought so other than the greens it was fun!
Great shape for no rain
They are doing an amazing job keeping up the coarse a couple of fairways can use some leveling but the greens are beautiful 💯
Great condition
Course was in really good condition. From teebox to green is all grass. Fairways were exceptional for this time of year in a drought. Fun course to play. Restaurant/bar and staff excellent. Will be playing here more often.
Condition
This course is in great condition considering the current drought. Better than any of the surrounding areas courses.
