Course Highlights
This links-style layout features wide fairways, well-kept bunkers, and tricky greens that reward thoughtful shot-making. Consistently friendly staff and outstanding affordability make it a reliable choice among Tampa Bay public courses.

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. Green’s reasonable course being worked on.

Some Holes were closed on the back 9 for irrigation installation. Still good value. Greens were good. Speed ok and lots of break. Friendly staff and people playing. Overall an enjoyable day.

Scotland

Course is doing major Reno which hinders your play somewhat on a few holes so far

They are putting in course irrigation which should make it nice in future but this should have been listed on GolfNow before you book tee time .

Also lots of local play which mini tournaments going on causing slow play with lots of people which again should be listed on GolfNow before tee time booked

Course is nice to play when you don’t have to deal with tons of people and course repairs going on

All this info should be listed every time on GolfNow so u can book someplace else before getting to course and finding out how bad it is to play that day

Great shape and getting better

Course is in great shape and with all the new irrigation they are putting in, I can see it getting better. Looks like they have put rye on the tee boxes and in front of the green. Makes it much nicer to play. 8th hole was closed today because of the irrigation they re installing but rest of the course is good.

Great staff ok course

This course has no driving range and is laid out like it was added after the homes showed up. Easy course so if you need to lower your handicap this is the place. The staff were very friendly almost family owned type of vibe

Temp Holes

They are doing a bunch of drainage work on the course and had two temporary greens. Other than that the course is in good condition and moderately difficult. Would like to play it when all the work is done and see how it is then.

Construction of irrigation

At this point the front 9 isn’t good and the back was a little better. I est. that when all construction is finished in couple of yeas the course will be great.

Course is in good shape considering the lacj of water this past year. Talked to someone on the course and they are getting ready to put in new irrigation so it should get even better.

Construction

Love this course, but would have liked to know before we played that hole 17 was completely closed. By the look at all the piping around there will be more holes shut down soon.

Course Improvement

This season the couse conditions have improved significantly since last season. The green and most fairways have been worked on. It appears more changes are in progress.

I don’t know if starter sent then there or they did it on 5heir own but either way THIS SHOULDN’T HAPPEN. one & a half hour front 9, 3 hour back nine! 😔

Scotland Yes.

Drove up about an hour and change from Bradenton. Got great value on a hot deal. It was cold, but I got paired up with 3 locals who live in the community, and they were great. Helped me out with course management. Place was in nice shape. Greens were fair and rolling well, fairways in good shape you can see it’s been seeded and watered. Would certainly go back again.

Tees and greens ok.

Tees and greens plus the fairways from 150yrds in were seeded and green. Rest of the course where I hit a lot of shots from was pretty rough!
