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.

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 ?

Greens in great shape.

Greens are in great shape. The rest of the course is a little rough. The drought has definitely taken an affect on this course overall. The layout is a little confusing and the front nine is very tight, but it opens up on the back side. a very challenging course from the tips.
