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
Poor fairways
Fairways had areas that were reseeded and other areas that had no grass to play off
Frustrating start
Took 45 minutes to play first 2 holes. 3 groups ahead was a 6some of ladies. Guy in our group called the clubhouse before we even teed off to ask for a ranger. Someone came out and talked to them but it did not help. We arrived at 3rd tee to find 4 groups on the hole. After 5 minutes we jumped over to number 5 a hole and a half ahead of the ladies. We finished in exctly 4 hours, making up the 45 ,imute delay. Went back and played 3 & 4 without interfering with any other groups. I like the course layout but won't be back anytime soon.
Nice golf track
This is à Nice golf track. But the greens conditions are not that good. They are verry small and there is some wheed on it. But after all it was à Nice day
Great layout
Surprisingly fun layout and course. Conditions are just ok. Not horrible. Some greens with patching or crab grass. Most of the tee boxes were overseeded and not cut. But some fun elevation where you don't see that often. Fun course
Needs lots of TLC
You can see they are trying to improve the course, but it still needs work. Fairways have so much crabgrass. Maybe if they water it more often and hire a good grounds keeper it will be better. We played this course years ago and it was much better back in the day.
Love this place
One of our favorite courses but, being permanent residents, the $40 dollars per round is a little more than we can afford. So, I guess we'll see you next summer when it's hot, all the snowbirds are gone and you need our money. Keep up the good work.
Pace of play
The course is in really nice shape not much to complain about in that regard but there is NO starter out there so you can get jumped on your tee time and there are NO rangers on the course making sure pace of play is being maintained. First 11 holes took almost 3 1/2 hours to complete before we just jumped the group in front of us who would not let us play through.
Tee boxes
Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Tee boxes could use a little work. They needed to be cut and leveled.
enjoyable round
A few minor areas like wet traps and some weeds on the greens and fairways need to be improved, but other than that the course has really been upgraded.
