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
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.
Scotland Yard.
Great course for the price! Wide open and easy to access. Great bar vibe..
This course was a bit of a challenge, I am a beginner but my husband liked it. We lost a few balls but we played late and it was hard to see. Other golfers friendly as well and patient.
Good Bang for the Buck
Been playing this course regularly(8x a year) for the last several years. Staff is always very friendly and inviting, course is always in pretty good shape and greens are always tricky, especially with some of the pin placements on the front the last couple of weeks. Best thing is the course always stays affordable and true to who they are, a public golf course. Many of the courses in the Tampa Bay Area are quite delusional of what heir course is with some of the rates they are charging this time of year but you can always play this course which is much better than the the ones I speak of. Will continue to be a regular in my weekly rotation.
