Scotland Yards Golf Club

This is a pretty good course . Greens are in good shape, better than in years past. Going back next week

Course was in good shape. Improvement over last year, maybe because there has been lots of water this year.

This course bills itself as links golf, which I suspect is Scottish for "pretty easy." The course is pretty open and even misses off the tee can end up in neighboring fairways. There isn't much trouble to get into, although there are a series of holes that play around a lake/pond/swamp area.

The greens were in good shape, but everything else was just so-so. Very playable, but you won't confuse this course with a $50 course. But for $23 with a hot dog and beer included, it's a pretty good value. The staff was very accommodating and friendly -- for the staff alone, I'd go back.

You get what you pay for. For the price it's a nice scruffy course with reasonable greens. Carts paths are awful. It's pretty barren so go on a windy rainy day to get the full Scottish course experience and you'll have the place to yourself!

what a pleasant surprise. Starting with an issue that turned a community into servers. Don't know exactly what happened but the restaurant lost their server abruptly. The members that were present got off their seats and went out of their way to make sure the guests were taken care off. Starter is a gem. Wish I had his name. Gave us very good and detailed directions and recommendations. Some holes take good course and club management. Greens and fairways were in great shape. Worth the drive. Will definitely play again.

they had a tournament and we had to follow them need I say more this is the third time I played here all three times pace of play is a snails pace. No ranger. Counter help upon check in is also bartender and kitchen staff so you know what to expect there definitely caters to the members who live on the course I hope all home owners are golfers for the courses sake. Could be a lot better need management.

Walking in to the club house and restaurant was enough to make me feel REALLY good about driving to Dade City for a round of golf. The members made us feel really welcome and appreciated. There was an issue with one of the servers and they all pitched in to help. And the staff was really good too. The starter really went out of his way to make sure you know where you were going and details about the course. Oh, yeah, the golf course. Loved it. Very interesting layout in some of the holes and the greens were in very good shape. Will be going back soon.

Love the layout. Some rolling terrain, which is always great.

Sometimes the rough and the fairway are hard to distinguish, but still a solid course.

I would play this course again. Just a little challenging.

Wasn't sure what to expect for a links course but I loved it. The change in elevation comes into play for a few of the holes both down hill and up hill. Greens were nice but challenging due to slopes. A few of the tee boxes were bare in spots but not a big deal hitting off a tee. The rolling hills scenery is nice and now makes this one of my favorite courses.

My husband and I have just picked up the game of golf so we are hardly qualified to give an accurate rating of any coarse. With that said, I encourage anyone, but especially beginners, to try this coarse. It offers challenges to sharpen skills with sand traps and water, with directional accuracy and with multiple par 4's and 5's. Unlike many coarses in this area, this one doesn't have as many homes in close proximity to the playing area. For myself and my husband, not to mention the homeowners, that's a bonus! We still need to work on our accuracy. Some of the greens were not so green in places but all in all we enjoy this coarse and plan to play here enough to calculate our handicaps.

SY is great for practicing. If you are looking for a top notch course, this isn't it, but it does have a charm all its own. Hilly golf courses are rare in Florida, but this course is undulating. I enjoy this course each time I play it. It was getting brown and dry, but it has made a good comeback. Not perfect, but I like the layout.

My wife and I played this course a little over a year ago and it was in decent condition at the time. Unfortunately it is all too apparent that the owners are not able to invest the money necessary to really keep it in shape.
The tee boxes and "fairways" are weeds. It is difficult to even find a place to tee it up that is level.
The sand is overgrown with grass and weeds.
The greens are in fair shape but are surrounded, literally, by weeds.
There are ant piles everywhere. Fire ants.
The carts are gas powered and are in need of repair or replacement.
The attendant in the bar was ignorant to the fact that a deal on GolfNow is a per player deal not per cart.

At this point, unless a LOT of money is invested into this course soon it will be too far gone.

The folks who own it seem nice enough and I think they really care. It just doesn't get the play that it would take to keep it in shape.

Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this course to anyone. For the money there are simply better options out there and this one, while a fun layout, is in really bad shape.

Kind of a funky layout. The only thing going for this course right now I'd their greens, actually pretty decent. Course doesn't seem to drain well you lose balls in the fairway. Bunkers are not kept up and I noticed different sand in several bunkers. Not sure the yardages are accurate either, I don't normally hit my 9 iron 165+ more around 150.. Cart paths if that's what you call them are in dire need of reworking. If you're not paying close attention you could jar your back. A basic plaque on each tee describing how to play the hole would certainly help newbies. Not horrible just not what I expected.

Played as two ball in 3 hours. Very fair for the price. Didn't rush and able to work on some swing problems. Area has had a lot of rain but course still very playable. Greens playing 8.5 to 9.5 and rolling fairly true. Greens quite receptive. Fairways links like and very playable. Some tees in very rough shape but use of tee negates tee condition. We had an enjoyable time in spite of the oppressive heat. Plenty of drinking water on the course to keep hydrated. Service in the clubhouse was excellent though not many people in attendance. They have a great hot dog and we love the cold Red beer. If your looking for Augusta National, it's not here. But, if you want a friendly atmosphere, a fun layout to play and work on your game, fair fees, friendly staff and cold beer, then Scotland Yards is worth a visit. We were happy to get out and play and have some fun.

The layout is good, but the fairways and ruff were more weed than grass. Greens were in decent shape, but they are loosing some around the edges. Could be a great course if maintained better.

Played this on a whim, and wasn't disappointed. A true Links style course in FL! Natural grass fairways and tee boxes make the most of the natural terrain, which features natural water, and elevation changes. This course is very much fun and plays a relaxed game of golf.

If you expect your course to look like Augusta, I'm not sure why you are playing a links course, and this one is not for you. Fairways are natural grass, and I saw just about every variety found in FL. Likely these fairways also are not watered very often (less need with that green selection), so they roll very well. Course is VERY WELL mowed and forgiving. Greens are SOFT and very fun to put with lots of personality. Course would do well to cater to walkers, since this course more than any other I played would be a fun walking course.

Will play again, very remove with great views and vistas and a relaxed game of golf is hard to find these days. Thanks!

First time to play here. Great layout. Only trouble was locating first tee. Course not in best possible conditions but greens held nicely. Will play again. Love the hills and the great has carts!

Terrible course! The fairways have more weeds than grass. Its a joke don't waste your money.

Our family and group of friends have played this course quite a few times over the last several years, but we have never seen the overall course and cart paths in such poor condition. Whether it be due to the recent downpours or the actual lack of efficient course maintenance, it is rather unsatisfying to see where the quality of this course has gone. Most of the greens are pitted or starting to look like mud flats, the cart paths look more like dirt roads or off-road adventure trails, and the course markers are almost non-existent. The fairways and tee boxes seemed to be in the best condition, so I'll give credit where credit is due, but that only made the entire day seem rather sub-par (no pun intended). The older gentlemen at the pro shop was pleasant and courteous to speak with, but our encounters with the female bartender and late shift pro shop attendant did not fair the same. Our bartender was cordial to say the least, but seemed to be more annoyed or bothered by our company while just eating lunch and watching TV. Once we had received our food and drinks, she proceeded to turn her back to us and lean up against the bar. No interaction and no interest for any sort of communication. She mine as well have left the bar and went back to the kitchen because it wouldn't have seemed any different. The second pro shop guy seemed to be completely attached to his cell phone to the point that he was either unable or unwilling to even recognize a single person entering or leaving the facility. He was so interested in playing with his phone, that he literally wouldn't even pick us head to even look. I thought that the pro shop and restaurant/bar staff were supposed to make you feel comfortable and welcomed so that you would want to return, but maybe I've got a different understanding of customer service. Our free lunch consisted of a decent size hot dog, plain Lays potato chips, and a drink of your choice (beer was $1 extra). If it wasn't for the small lunch and drink, we would probably have said something more about our experience. We all really hope that this course bounces back because there are not very many Scottish/English Style courses around.
