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.

Scotland Yard

I have played this course many times in the past but yesterday when I played, I was very much surprised. There was actually green grass on ALL the fairways and around the greens. Not the burnt out stuff that you see at many courses at this time of year in Florida. Not sure what they are doing, if they are watering the fariways or what but whatever they are doing, KEEP IT UP. Will definitely be back.

The course was in pretty good shape. The staff was wonderful! The pro shop staff was working hard to take care of all customers in the shop and get the drinks at the bar for us. Wonderful Day!

Fun Course

We stayed at a campground for 2 weeks just 15 minutes from the course but only played there this one time, the day before we left. We played Zephyrhills Municipal course three times prior to this one and I wish now we had played at Scotland Yards more. The greens were WAY WAY better than Zephyrhills as were the tee boxes and fairways. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Scotland and will definitely play it again if we are anywhere in the vicinity.

Pace of play

This is the third time playing this course. I like the layout but probably will not return unless they start using a starter and a marshal to monitor the pace of play. We pay good money to play golf and expect s good pace of play. Both times we were in a 5 and 1/2 pace of play. The second time we just left with 3 holes left. We had a fivesome in front of us that would not let us play through. A stater and marshal would eliminate this.

First Time Playing

Hills in Florida

First time playing and was enjoyable round of golf. Greens were in great shape and a bit slow do to the misty weather. The greens had lots of break and slope. The fairways were much better on the front nine but ok on the back nine. Nice to play a course in Florida that wasn't flat. The course is good for low or high handicaps. It has trouble but in most cases is wide open and playable from most spots. Staff was pleasant and helpful

Thanks
