Scotland Yards Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Value
great value for money. watch out for hole #7 very tricky carry to green!
Like it but………
Nice enough track. I will possibly try it again, but I probably wouldn’t bring anyone.
Nice greens, on the smaller side.
Tee boxes okay. Fairways fair.
Carts very dirty, slow.
Cart paths bad.
No driving range. Small putting green.
I scored well, but the overall impression was no higher than three stars.
Scotland Yards
A very enjoyable course to play. There weren’t many players on the course, I assume due to the recent high temperatures. The course was in good shape but the greens were a little slower than normal. Still that didn’t take anything away from enjoying the round. I like this course and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Will definitely play again soon.
Good for the money
Good course for the money. No issues with pace of play. Greens need some attention. Clubhouse facility staffed with good , friendly people.
Single Round Review
So hot, and on a Thursday, not a lot of players out. The greens ran slow on the front but seemed to speed up on the back9. I enjoyed it but heat made it hard to concentrate because you just wanted to "hit and get" back in the cart and find some shade while your playing partner hit his shot. Will definitely be back.
So so course
The greens were aerated 3 weeks ago and have not fully recovered yet. Somewhat bumpy and quite slow. Tee boxes are bare in many places. Some fair ways have bare spots and are difficult to play from. The course is challenging and fair but needs some help.
1st time
Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Fairways were beautiful but the greens were in rough shape
GREAT DAY DADE CITY
Course GOOD SHAPE GREENS FAST SOME GREENS HAVE FEW BURNED SPOTS OVER ALL FINE
I like the course
The course is in good condition. We just need some rain.
Great day at Scotland Yards
Was greeted well. Since it was my first time at SYGC man in pro shop gave me some tips about the course.
It was not crowded. Got right out and played in 3 hours 15 minutes. Course and greens in good shape, despite very little rain recently. Greens were true. Played white tees, just under 6000 yards. Course is about an hour from where I live so I won't go to often, but I highly recommend it.
