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.

Windy weather
Used cart

This golf course allows too many players to hit more than two balls off the tee box every hole. There is no ranger to monitor slow play. Tee boxes, fairways and greens need watered everyday, they are very very dry. I give this course a 2 star due to hearing the same excuses from the leasing manager about getting this course back in shape. The leasing manager needs to get more outside advice.

Fun Course

Course layout is really nice. Some bare spots in the fairways, but overall in good shape. We had to quit on the 16th hole because of 35 mph winds with a front moving through. Enjoyed the 15 holes and we will be back!

Good course

Having played Scotland yards many times, find it to be enjoyable with better course conditions. Greens and tees are in good shape and like most Florida courses this time of year, sparse fairways

Decent course

Two tee boxes were horrible, most greens were good. One hole still has lots of water. Overall not too bad. I would probably come back.

Greens are great

Greens are in the best shape I've seen there. Beautiful and GREEN, rolling very smooth.

Always has been a great layout. New carts are a nice added touch. Staff is super friendly.

Tees looking good.

Fairways are a bit browned and dry but roll out nicely.

From 50 yards in the approaches and greens are lush, green, and smooth. Tremendous improvements from the past year or so.

Hole #5 is still a bit wet from the flooding from Milton but the tees are moved way up to avoid the soggy first part of the fairway..The other 17 holes, and all 18 greens are perfect. Very well priced compared to just about every other course in the area.

Will keep coming back.

Amazing course but…

The course was amazing but because of the weekly Florida rain, hole 1 was closed and hole 2 had had some added water features that were not on the gps or description. But overall amazing course. One I will go back to after Oct l. When this heavy rainy season stops.
