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.

Backed up at the tee boxes
Pace of play was brutal. 5+ hours for 2 of us. Groups backed up 2 or 3 deep on one hole. People hitting into you from behind. Ended up playing with the group of 3 in front of us. Cool guys. Won’t go back to this course on a Saturday morning.
Nice Facility
We loved the old trees lining the course and had fun playing. The greens were pretty rough but worked. We went to the bar and restaurant after and the food and service were great. We will return.
Scotland Yard 7 7 24
Good layout. Friendly staff. Tees and fairways were very good. Greens were good, but slow. Good value.
Okay golf
Greens - slow with a lot of wild Grass. Overall the fairways are fantastic . The greens putted true, but were a bit unsightly . The course is a good challenge and I will play here again.
Definitely Recommend
Simply stated, play this course. The layout is fun, the staff are friendly, and the overall environment will make you want to return. A "diamond in the rough", ha!
Terrible pace
Not sure if everything was booked 3 minutes apart but there was no starter and had 3 groups waiting at first tee. This is how the entire day went. Tee time was 9:07, didn't finish until about 2:30.
good value
Greens are still recovering from recent aeration.
Course, like most in this area, never reseeds, resulting in bare spots in fairways and rough. Is grass seed that expensive ?
Just ok golf
The new watering system has improved the fairways and aprons around the greens. The greens still have some weed patches that are mowed level with the grass on the greens, thereby not affecting your putts. There are some bare spots on the fairways but are quickly being covered by the new grass from the aeration system. The course is challenging for the average golfer. I enjoy playing there because of the challenge, the price and the layout of the course.
Very positive experience
The course is in fine shape. The new sprinkling system on .the fairways has made everything quite green there. The greens are a bit slow but I can understand that with the lack of rain that we've had in the last month. It is a challenging course to play because of the length and the layout demanding precise shot making. The snowbirds have gone home so it's quite easy to get a good tee time. I definitely will be playing there again. Hit him straight and good golfing.
