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.

Getting better every time I play there

Moved down to Florida in June and started playing Scotland Yards in July. From that time till now the course just keeps getting better and better. Greens are in great condition, along with the fairways and tees. Maybe not the best in the area but they have come a long way from July till now, doing it with the lack of rain that we've experienced since October. Much of the overgrowth and brush around the course is gone, making it a more appealing sight while you're playing. My hats off to the entire staff and workers for changing Scotland Yards from a don't waste your time course to one of the nicest and got to play courses in the Zephyrhills/Wesley Chapel/ Dade City area.

Nice course; poor time management

We liked the course and the price was right. However, we had booked a 7:45 start time but had to wait until 8:25 because of a regular shotgun start group. So don't trust the early morning start times on Golf Now.

I would not play this course if u book thru Golf Now as we were told the owner doesn't like players who book thru them. We had a set tee time & we were held at the first tee until that time, even though there were NO golfers in front of us for about 4-5 holes. They made us feel really unwelcomed!!! (The owner)

Scotland Yards definitely getting better

I've played at Scotland Yards for the past several years, and the course is in the best shape it's ever been. The greens are smooth and run true, and the bunkers have all had new sand added to them. The cart paths still need some work though. I think the word is spreading about the course management undertaken by the new owner, as there has been an uptick in players during this "snowbird season" The people behind the desk are friendly, and for lunch their burgers (generous size and fresh ground beef) are delicious . All in all, a good experience golfing here, and fast becoming one of the best values in the area.

Course Is just fair at best

Course was just OK. Lady at Proshop for check in was rude and not helpful at all. I arrived early since I wasn't sure exactly where course was located. When I walked in she was talking to another employee and a local resident about someone in the community (sounded like gossip to me)- both employees totally ignored me - after 5minutes of awkwardness- I finally said "excuse me I'd like to check in". With an annoyed like she said "when's your tee time - I told her ( i was 40 minutes early) she said "oh your a Golf Now tee time - I can't check you in yet AND RETURNED TO OTHER CONVERSATION without any other information!! Had I not been on a non refundable tee time I would have left right then . Am certain I will not be back!!

Its what I can afford

I live in Zephyrhills, Florida. I have a moderate retirement income, so I have to watch what I spend on my golfing. That said, I look for courses in the $20 to $30 price range. Golf Now gives me the tools to find special deals for my golf habit. Scotland yard fits my need very well. Thank you

Rude pro shop

The people in the pro-shop here very rude when I said that I booked with golf-now. We were at the course fifteen minutes before our tee-time and were told we would have to wait fifteen minutes to get our cart keys.The owner of the course did nothing but complain about golf-now, how he was getting ripped of by golf-now.

New Owners, Great Condition

It's been several years since I played this course and immediately noticed the difference. The Pro Shop was not farmed out to a subcontractor so their was only a few shirts, shoes and balls available. That said the staff was middle-eastern and very friendly. The course had plenty of grass for this time of year(dry season). The greens were plush and well kept. The bunkers were nicely manicured and had plenty of sand. Overall, excellent value for the price paid.

Course has come a long way

Course has improved greatly in the past 2 years. However, pace of play between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is extremely slow. A course marshall is desperately required. Greens and fairways are in great shape compared to 2 years ago. Cart paths need some work as they are quite rough, and is now affecting some portions of the fairways.

Early Morning Fog

Had a golf now hot deal for 7:07, crazy fog for the first five holes. The fog on the par 5, number 3 was like being on another planet. Great pace, greens were in good shape. Besides the fog, it was an excellent day at the Yard.

Great fun course

This course is a lot of fun I've been playing it for years. The staff is very friendly to us being younger golfers. The course is very forgiving with miss hits. The new owner has been doing a great job improving the course. The new golf carts are great!

New Ownership

This is my home course. New Ownership has taken over and you can see the early improvements right away. Some new staff, the Pro Shop is not as cluttered, and the food has improved. The course will take time, but glad to see it happening.
