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.

Links style
!st time playing. You need to know where the fairway is. It looks wide open, but, the fairways are not as wide as they look. Hint. Stay in the fairway. There was no food available after the round.
I normally consider all factors in reviewing a course but the conditions of this course are very poor. The only real positive was the staff I had interaction with. From the tee boxes to the fairways to the bunkers to the greens, this course needs help in all areas. If you pay more than $10.00 to $14.00 to play, just be forewarned.
Beautiful location
This was a great course in a beautiful setting but unfortunately in bad shape.
Love the layout, course is mediocre quality
It’s worth playing a round just because it’s a fine links style layout. While the layout is outstanding, the course is in mediocre shape, having been brought back to life a few years ago. The greens and fairways need work, but overall I had a great time playing it. I understand that the operating costs of keeping up a course can be astronomical. Omari’s bar and grill is fantastic and the dining hall is excellent.
A waste of my money.
The course was severly neglected. The fairways were not evenly mowed. The rough was so bad that I lost balls just off the fairway from the grass being so high. The hole were not well outlined and it was difficult to know where to hit your shots. I honestly would not play this course again even for free.
Needs work
The course is in transition right now or I hope it is for as rough and beat up as the course is. A lot of dead trees on this course that need to come out. Front nine greens in terrible shape but they look like they are being worked on. Would not recommend this course at this time. Will see how it looks in a few months.
Course Condition
This year the course conditions are less than adequate. The fairways need attention with the mowing. The greens are extremely slow due mostly to the grass not being closely cut. On the day we were there, the tee markers were removed for mowing on the majority of the holes, but we saw only two mowing machines on the entire course for the day. There was a machine following behind us on the holes we played and appeared to be "paintjng" the greens. Many of the greens had bare sandy sections.
Scottland yard
Loved the layout. Could use some attention to details. Understand they lost there greens and aren't to bad. Little slower than I like. But mostly filled in. Tee boxes were flat and had grass. Fairways were a touch thin in some areas. Not a tour stop course but will play again for that price. 7.22 cents for a jack and water was a bit high even for golf course prices. But staff was very friendly.
Same old
Understaffed, overpriced, greens slow, fairways miserable, t boxes like a hayfield. Shouldn’t pay more tha 15$ to play here. Keep hoping every year that it will improve but it’s always a wreck.
NOT GOOD
THIS COURSE ISN'T GOOD AT ALL. GREENS ARE REEL BAD, FAIRWAYS NOT MUCH BETTER. EVEN THE HOT DOG I PURCHASED AT THE TURN WAS TERIBLE. IT HAD TO BE COOKING FOR 2 DAYS. ONE BITE AND IT WAS IN THE GARBAGE. THIS COURSE IS A LAST RESORT OPTION. SHOULD NOT PAY MORE THEN $15 TO PLAY HERE.
DON'T SAY YOU WERE NOT WORNED!
Nice Course ... Great Price ...
Once again, Golf Now got me a Great Price on a Nice Course ... Course was in Okay Shape, but some Areas Could use a lil Work, but all and All a Nice Course... I Will Definitely Play here again ... I got a Great Price on Golf Now ... Thanks Golf Now ... A+ ...
Enjoyable Round of Golf
Very Nice Course, could use a touch up here and there, but very playable. 2nd time playing here and I will be back. Nice Course for the Golf Now price ...
Highly recommend
Great coarse, yes like most places they have a couple greens that need some extra attention. Minor stuff. The setting and some of the views while playing is un matched of anywhere I have played in Florida so far. For the price, the feee lunch, definitely will come back!!
