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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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"?

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.

Excellent Value & Conditions

This was my first time playing this course. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. The staff is friendly, and the layout is pretty good. There’s nothing exceptional about the course, but it is well kept and a great value.
