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.

Okay round
Greens are in great shape. A few fairways were sparse. The price was fine and even better if you use GolfNow's VIiP program
A little Scotland yards.
The course is got some nice views from top of the hills,mind you this is Florida .The greens are in great shape,
It's January so the grass in winter state.
It's a drive from st. Pete but worth it.
Customer service training
3rd time we’ve been here and from the greeting you could tell golf now customers not really welcomed. As we checked in we were told without hesitation, “you’re playing with 2 other people and everyone is teeing off 10 I’ll let you know when you can get your cart.” And basically we were just left standing there to I guess go putt or dare we ask if there was a range. After looking down number 10 and seeing literally 7 groups between the tee and green we knew it would be a 5 hour plus round, course is too small to House that many groups. That said we opted to forfeit our round not only because of what would have been a ridiculously slow day but the guy in the pro shop just rubbed us the wrong way. We won’t be going back and I’ll make sure anyone who asks spends their money elsewhere.
good course for the price
I went on a Sunday morning on a holiday weekend. I had to wait on most tee boxes. the course is nice, I will go back, not a bad drive from Lakeland
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.
Nice course,played with my wife,not a hard course,but it has some fun holes,resonabley priced
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.
links style wide open
we had a good time and thought the deal was worth the ride
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

I find that extremely hard to believe, I use golfnow every time I play there and have always been treated great. The 10th hole is a straight away 300 yard par 4. To say there could be 7 groups on that hole is nothing but exaggeration.
