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.

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
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
Great layout
Surprisingly fun layout and course. Conditions are just ok. Not horrible. Some greens with patching or crab grass. Most of the tee boxes were overseeded and not cut. But some fun elevation where you don't see that often. Fun course
