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.

Much Improved
New ownership has poured resources into improving the course and it shows. Odd thing to praise, but it was the best sand I've played out of in many years. Can't wait to see how the course continues to improve.
Bad experience
I asked ths older lady if my 90 year old step father and I would take separate carts. She said no. With covid, it was very cruel and unprofessional. The golf course is very poor layout and not really properly maintained. They really don't care. Very disappointed.
Decent value for this type of course
The overseeding is up which is starting to improve the fairways. But it also made the greens very hairy and too slow. They’ve been working to improve the course and it’s much better under the new management. Not worth full price to me but with a hot deal it’s great.
No carts
We booked a tee time and when we got to the course, we where told they had no carts. Staff just told us we would have to wait for some carts to show up.
Staff never apologized our offered any solution: just told us to look for people coming in and try and be the 1st to get to them.
We canceled our tee time, other wise we would have probably been waiting for over an hour for a cart.
Scotland Yard
Rename to Scotland Hills
Played with two very good friends mid morning. Pace of play was good groups moved right along. Several singles that should join up instead of running up on group and just standing there. Easy fix!
The course is getting better. The majority of the fairways are good. The terrain and layout is good. When the wind blows you’ve got your hands full. Staff always friendly! Keep up the good work. Grounds crew doing a good job. We’ll Be Back !
Prefect Day
I have not played this course years Greens were a little slow but not bad Teeboxes Need some attention with them not being level or flat but overall the course look good no real big issues was very surprised at how good it looked will definitely be back
Good course for the price!
Enjoyed the round, fairways and greens were in very good condition.
Fair condition
Bad spots in some greens and bare spots in quite a few fairways. Front nine was pretty wet after all the rain we had. Paid $30 to play early due to the heat. Seems a bit high. When you arrive... bring a bath towel to wipe off your cart.
Always a fun round
Met up with a local group of buddies and had a great time. The course is really turning around with all the work that the new management has put in. The staff is always friendly, round of golf was great and the 19th hole you are always welcomed.
Great for a family outing
Not a fancy course, but a friendly course to play, wide open fairways, greens were nice, not a ton of traps. Only lost 1 ball, course could be nicer and cart paths need a full redo, but for $20 I won’t complain, staff was very nice.
scotland yard
Have played this course many times and dor the price it's great. Fairways need a lot of work
Cargo
Corse starting to get back in good shape, a few bare spots, but overall fine. A few fareways under constructiion , greens slow but puttable.
I dont think there can be a course in worse condition
Scotland Yards
Played this course many times and it is unfortunately going down hill fast. The course is now full of crab grass and the greens are in terrible shape. Today there was 2 5balls in front of us so we had to wait 10minutes on every tee box to tee off. It will be awhile before I play this course again.
