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.

Nice layout with great views

Many improvements since last year. The greens are in great shape along with the tee boxes and practice areas. The fairways are still rough in some areas but the staff and restaurant/bar are very nice. Not your boring flat Florida golf course.

Greens have fallen apart

Not sure what happen. This used to be a decent course for the money but this time the greens where the worst I’ve ever seen. The fairways where horrible as well. Will not be going there for awhile if we ever do.

Speedy Round At The Yard

Got a good price at the yard. Staff was friendly and we got right out. Twosome let us play through right on the first tee, which was a great sign. Fairways were a bit thin, greens were solid, a little slow but very puttable. Actually had sand in the traps. Good value and great pace, just over three hours made for a fun day.

Freindly staff, nice course

The course was in good shape, greens were a little slow. Layout was ok. Not a lot of water so nice for less experienced golfer. The staff were very accommodating. Golfed with a couple of old retires who were knowledgeable of the course and friendly. Would play again.

Tried it but not worth the money

It has not even rained yet the course was soaked from the irrigation being ran too long. Made the greens not play like they read. Very nice looking club house but it is not a course I'd play again. It was not really a well laid out course either. Lastly it was just not really worth the money for the course. I'd skip if you had other options.

Continuing improvement

The greens were the best I've seen there yet. New sand in bunkers, but the fairway need some of the tic the rest of the course has got. Overall the improvement makes me want to come back soon

Fairways are a nightmare

For the price, I expected way better fairway conditions. There was barely any grass and definitely has gone untreated for quite awhile. They also had someone mowing at 8-8:30am, one of the busiest times of a any day, but also on a Friday?

The course layout? What layout? I had to drive 1/4 of a mile to get to the first tee and it crosses the 18th, confusing to say the least.

This course could be a very good course if better taken care of and the layout changed , was a decent challenge non the less.

Could have been better

The greens were in fairly good condition but not consistent. Some of the greens had been mowed but not all. The fairways were not defined and had very little turf.

Great price

First time and probably not again till the grass grows on the fairways. No over seeding on the fairways and they look pretty bad. Greens were in great shape except for two. Definitely a local members course. Quite a few blind tee shots and the par fives were a challenge.

Overall, worth the hot deal price.
