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 course

The front nine is very challenging and the back is where you’re going to score. Greens are very slow but true.

Greens need more attention

You can tell they are trying to improve the course. Grass on greens is long. Needs to be either cut or rolled. Too long and too slow. Otherwise the course is good.

Course is improving

I played here last year and it was obvious that the change of ownership had some negative effect on course conditions. It was clear this year that they are trying to return the greens and tees to their prior consistency. There is a good variety of holes; not too much water (a plus in Florida); playable sand traps. We arrived a little early and were allowed to go to the first tee early. Both the starter and pro shop were quick and personable. Snack was reasonably priced.

great course

i loved the long course, it was quite a challenge, ive only started playing 3 months ago and have been to alot of courses around here and this is one of the best. It's a faster pace, because the people that play there are good and i fell behind that curve, but it was still great and very friendly. love playing this course, nice long challenging holes. would love to live there and play daily.

GolfNow dropped the ball

This is the second time in a seven day period That we showed up at the golf course the first was Remington it was closed, now Scotland yard the greens were unplayable they looked as if they were over seeded and had not been cut for a week I have shag carpeting from the seventies that would put faster, GolfNow should have alerted this to this overseeding process because I know Scotland yard's is usually in solid shape and a fun place to play in a week or two when these greens finish growing in and they are cut the course will be in playable shape. But we always enjoy our time at the course and we made the best of it even though you could not really put the greens

needs work

Was a windy day and on several holes the sprinklers were on around the greens ....which made it almost impossible to putt on a few holes. NO driving range. Putting green was almost free of green grass. Greens in general were very erratic due to lack of grass and layers of blue/green sand. Fairways were very weedy. The course has some hills. Bunkers were just ok. Decent layout for seniors if the conditions improve. AND, remember to ask for a scorecard....which was not on the cart....bad news when the first hole tee box is about 300 yards from the clubhouse.....the clubhouse could have helped with that situation by mentioning to take a scorecard!!!!!

Golfer Friendly Course

Scotland Yard of Dade City, Florida was an enjoyable experience. A few maintenance upgrades, weeding and having the greens cut shorter (faster) would really help but overall a good time was had and I will return in the future.

Nice, friendly club house, nothing extravagant, but a good place for an after round cocktail and a discussion of the days golfing adventure.
