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.

Good Value

Due to recent rain, course was in great shape. We've had lots of rain, so there were some wet spots and casual water, but no much given all the rain.

Staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and actually fun to kid with.

Sunny is an excellent bartender and she actually knew most of our drinks from the last time we were there.

Great time

I enjoyed my round at Scotland Yard. Although I have played before, it has been many years. It won’t be many years again. The layout is unique and the staff are wonderful, accommodating. The food is restaurant quality. Will return soon!

Fun Course

The greens were a bit rough and I wish the course was better marked as we had a little trouble finding a couple of tees. But we had a good time.

First Time Playing

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.

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.
