Rating Snapshot
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.

The course just needs a little work
I have played here in previous years and it was okay but the greens were poor and it looked very dry compared to a couple of other courses we played in the previous week.
for the $$$
i got a tee time for $10......how can you go wrong ? greens were in poor shape which made putting difficult.....played thru an elderly couple and didn't see anyone again until i got on the 17th tee so pace of play was good....was able to play 2 balls on most holes.....
Our local course...love it....friendly....great food and service.
The greens were a bit sketchy at the beginning or March but the they have fought back and are are now quite good. I love the course set up...fun holes with some length...you can use every club in your bag. The club house is friendly and well laid out. The food is wonderous...especially wing night every Tuesday...buy 10 and get 10 free...good quality wings.I highly reccommend this course for a good golf experience.
Fun and challenging layout.
Played Scotland three times while staying in Florida. We enjoyed the course which is why we came back. Staff was friendly. Starter apologized for late start due to a league that was going on. Greens are fast and lots of role in the fairways. Overall, my wife and I liked the Highlands and will return next Winter.
Advise friends to stay away
The course has been going down hill for the past 5 years. Greens terrible, cart paths would better suit a cross country track and the fairways getting more like the cart paths annually.
Great deal. Golf/Lunch/Drink under $25 cant be beat. Course was in good condition and staff was friendly.
Enjoyed the course very much. Highly recommended. Course was in good condition and staff was friendly.
Good value for your money
Pace of play was good. Fairways and greens were a little sparse.
Typical FL Course: firm, sparse grass on greens.
As seems to be common in FL this year, greens do not have consistent grass but still seem to putt quite truly. This is a good layout with a variety of holes: flat, uphill and downhill, varied yardages. Good Par 3's; some false fronts but with an opening to run the ball onto the green if needed. Of course, it is hard to complain about any course if you get an ace in your round. Hole # 8, blue tees, 218 yards, 3-wood.
The course has very good features
Think the course needs attention! The greens need to be mowed! New growth on the greens have the ball jumping all over the place!
Nice view of the hills.
Enjoyable course to play. The greens are tricky and fast. Wide open course, plays quite easily. Played it twice in one week, looking forward to going back.
Slow!
The course was so crowded that I gave up after 5 holes, an hour and 40 minutes, late on a weekday afternoon!
I like to play her
good value, but greens could use some work. Good quick play in morning and a fun course if are looking for something not to challenging.
It's a golf course
The staff rubbed my group the wrong way the moment we walked into the pro shop. All staff including pro shop, cafe, and the starter were very rude. course was a fun layout but somewhat slow and congested on a weekday afternoon and the greens need attention desperately. Only good thing is the price.
poor condition, poor cart path. expensive for what you get.
Will not play again....course is busyenough without us. Ha!
GREAT VALUE
Average course with fast challenging greens.Good value plus they give you a free lunch.
the course was better than expected
for the cost this was a real good deal. it was slow play but it is January so it is that way at most courses.
This couse is a dump
The course is a antiquated run down cow pasture. It is an embarrassment. The couse is falling apart. It is poorly marked. I had a hard time finding the first tee. The staff was friendly but that was all the good I can find. I would not play this again nor recommend this course to anyone else. The pictures of the course on there website were not even close to what u saw in person.
Nice and Strait
This is a pretty nice course, very strait. Pretty good deal for the money. Paved cart paths would be nice. Overall an okay course for me, I would play here again.
Great value
It's one of the few courses around Tampa that's not flat as a board. The hills make for more interesting play. The staff is always friendly and the golf/meals deals through GolfNow make this course my favorite one in the area.
Nice course and great price.
Price is great and people are nice. Club house has good food and drinks. Also it is not a busy course. Greens are good as well as fairway. Hardly any water so that helps the normally golfers. It is fun to play and nice quiet surrounding.
