Scotland Yards Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Wide open
The course is a great Scottish style links course. I'm not a good golfer at all but I enjoy the course because it makes me feel better than I am. With the open fairways I can usually find my ball and not very often loose one. I've played more beautiful an lush courses, but uusually go thru several balls with them landing in the water hazards or the thick ruff. But that's me, I don't like feeling intimated by a large hazard that I have to try to get the ball straight and high over in front of me. So for the newbie bad golfer Scotland Yards is the best. However, I think it's great for any level player.
open course
the course is very forgiving, very open. The only real trouble is if you hit it in the water.
Delayed start time
Three Wednesdays in a row we had a 8:45am Tee Time and on all three occasions we were delayed from 35 to 45 minutes every time because of a group shotgun start.
Very Nice course!
We read the favorable reviews and decided to take a chance. We were not dissapointed. Beautiful course in great shape.
Best shape ever
I used to be a member of this course and can't get over the great condition that it is in. Much better than a few years ago.
good value
Kept in good shape but not spectacular. Has many challenging holes .it's a local course so we will play many times
President's Day Play
It was busy for a Monday, however, it was a holiday. Our tee time was right on time, not a minute late. The course was a bit soggy on the edges, but the greens were in great condition. Our Golf-Now deal got us lunch, which was a plus. A definite course for beginner golfers! I will be returning!
The greens were superb
I'm wondering if someone has purchased this course from previous owners? the greens and surrounding areas were in fantastic shape. can't say as much for the fairways but if there are new owners, the greens are the place to start.
Didn't even get to play after an hour drive
Tried to force me to play with 3 strangers, and I quote "You wanna play or not?", horrible customer service on a public course. Don't waste your time or money on this horrible course!
Good value
Course was in good shape. Improvement over last year, maybe because there has been lots of water this year.
Something different
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.
Rough around the edges
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!
Nicest folks
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.
ms.
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.
First Impressions
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.
Always a good option
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.
Convienent course to home.
I would play this course again. Just a little challenging.
First links experience
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.
Just Beginning
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.
