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.

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
I
Fun course
Played on a weekday afternoon. Great value for your money. Friendly staff, nice layout. Will be back !
A Hidden Gem
The scenic view from the tee boxes at Hole #4 is like no other in central Florida. A nice mix of elevation changes. Greens are slow but perfect in maintenance. The only negative is that there are no restrooms on the course. An investment in building at least a restroom on the back nine would yield this hidden gem 5 stars.
Slow play. Slow greens.
My title says it all. There's not enough time between groups in their scheduling. Most everything was okay with the the fairways the greens and the tea boxes. Most of the people playing are seniors who have a tendency to play slower than younger players. As a result their slow play and waiting 10 to 12 to 15 minutes between shots definitely affects a player's performance.
Good round
Spacious course with a nice layout. Great people not only working but golfing as well.
Scotland Yards
True budget course. Tee boxes and greens were in decent shape. Fairways needed some love. Course was open. Not a bad option to go out and play a round for cheap.
Amazing course, really enjoyed playing there
Very friendly staff, beautiful well maintained course, will definitely play there again.
Links style challenge
Played the course twice in last two weeks. Once in hurricane conditions so came back when things were more reasonable. Course in excellent shape. Greens are very good. Tees and fairways good also. Greens are small and well protected. Definitely play again.
Very nice course
Course was in good shape enjoyed the round 1 st time playing there will make an effort to make another tee time nice layout
