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.

Best I've seen it

Was actually quite impressed with the course. I couldn't believe the fairways were in the best condition I have seen there and I played this course many times. Greens in good shape as well. I'm assuming the course is under new mgt? Whatever you are doing, keep doubt it.

Good budget course

Greens are well maintained. Fairways are decent enough for the price. The greens are faster than they look. Overall it’s a good bang for the buck public course.

Road travel

Traveling south too Tampa had a chance to stop and play this course..

Had lunch in club house before our tee times.. nice friendly staff food was good and fast..

Was able to tee off earlier than scheduled played in 3 hours and 40 min…

Small greens, little long grass on putting surface.. fairways and tee boxes were in good shape …

Will play again.

Better Scotland Yards

The new owner has improved the quality of the course tremendously, from tee box to green. The staff has done an amazing job keeping this track in good condition. Bravo. I’ll be back to play this friendly but challenging course.

Continues to Improve

Scotland Yard's condition have continued to improve since their new ownership took over. The focus has been on their greens, tee boxes, and fairways and there's been a marked difference in conditions. They have installed new waterline irrigation on the front and I believe the back is next (I only played the front). With addition watering capabilities I believe the fairways will continue to improve. This course is becoming a real sleeper and I look forward to future seasons. The bar staff is friendly, and the shady screened porch is a marvelous place to unwind after a round. The bar is also a great place to have a beverage and watch golf on TV. Awesome hot dogs! It's my new "go-to."

Hole by green

There was a hole between the cart path and the green that I stepped in and twisted my ankle. I haven’t been able to play since.

My golfing partner said that there was a tiny red flag bent over by the hole but I was not able to see it as I am red green colour blind.

They need to have a yellow flag upright not a red one flat on the ground

Great Shape!

The course is in great shape including Fairways and nice greens. Pace of play was initially slow until foursome in front of us let us through. Very friendly staff and maintenance employees. I hope to play this course many times again in the future and definitely recommend.

Longest Start Ever

It's always nice to pull up on the first tee box and see 4 or 5 groups ahead of you. not! This has happen both times I've played here. Not sure why whomever runs this place allows this to happen. Had an 1130 tee time and didn't get off the first tee until 45 mins past our tee time. Course was in decent shape and if we weren't constantly waiting this place would be a hidden gem. Why doesn't everyone play "Ready Golf"?

Just a great course

I play here about once every other month. It has been the most consistent of the Florida courses. The greens are fast downhill and difficult to read. They are also small and most are raised. The course is challenging and the greens are its defense. I love the course and its setup is always fun and challenging. For the money it is better than most area courses with a wonderful bar and staff. I plan to play it much more often in the future.

Almost okay

Most everything was okay except for the fact that they fairways have a lot of bare spots making it difficult to hit good shots into greens. The greens were fast but they were true. Where where they have overseeded the fairways are nice.
