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.

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.
Why
Followed an extremely slow foursome (at least 3 empty holes ahead of them) never an offer to play through & then when finished pound out they STARTED on hole #10! 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!
Enjoyed the round
I enjoy playing at Scotland Yard Golf Course. Pace of play has always been good.
Golf day out
Golfed with two others, fun day had to wait on several t
Poor fairways
Fairways had areas that were reseeded and other areas that had no grass to play off
Frustrating start
Took 45 minutes to play first 2 holes. 3 groups ahead was a 6some of ladies. Guy in our group called the clubhouse before we even teed off to ask for a ranger. Someone came out and talked to them but it did not help. We arrived at 3rd tee to find 4 groups on the hole. After 5 minutes we jumped over to number 5 a hole and a half ahead of the ladies. We finished in exctly 4 hours, making up the 45 ,imute delay. Went back and played 3 & 4 without interfering with any other groups. I like the course layout but won't be back anytime soon.
Nice golf track
This is à Nice golf track. But the greens conditions are not that good. They are verry small and there is some wheed on it. But after all it was à Nice day
