Rocky Point Golf Course has one of the most interesting histories of any golf course in Florida. Originally opened in 1911 under the name f the Tampa Automobile Club, it was one of the first courses in the state. It closed in 1942 due to World War II. After being turned over to the city of Tampa for a mere $1, it reopened in 1954 as Rocky Point Golf Course. It is the closest golf course to Tampa International Airport, only a 15-minute drive away. The layout provides a fair challenge water hazards coming into play on 11 holes and sand bunkers strategically placed throughout. Rocky Point Golf Course's lakes are home to an abundance of wildlife and also serves as a bird sanctuary.

Nice course for the money
Paid $36 to play here on a Tuesday hot deal. The course was in great shape for that price. Pace was decent. I tee’d off with one other guy and took us about 3 1/2 hours to play. Solid course. Will be back.
Pace was stop and go most of the day. Greens in good shape. Fun layout. Rough and cart paths need some TLC. Staff was very friendly, but even with a starter it was single, threesome, twosome, single, foursome and waiting on most tees. Good value for the money.
Rocky point home course Rocks !
Always pleased with rocky point
Used Golf now but use the member service card as well !
Staff great always get me out when i need to
always impressed with the greens probable lack of rain looked like some repair on some greens. But overall very good
Rocky Point
Course was in better shape than I was expecting. The greens were in great shape and very receptive. There was also a lot of maintenance going on in the background, so I would think that will show up in the winter season that is starting. I was happy to have picked this course to play this week.
Average course
Slow play made this un enjoyable but I would give it another go
Didn’t see the whole course.
Staff was friendly, but pace of play was atrocious. I only played 13 holes in 4 hours and 20 minutes. Had to leave. Did not have time 6-7 hours to play a round. Upset I wasted the money. There were always 3-4 groups on every hole from differnt holes and who knows where they were going. It was a war zone. You get what you pay for for course quality and upkeep, just overbooked with poor pace management.
Good value!
Arrived as a single and went off as one. The pace of play was superb. Never waited between shots or holes. Course In good condition. Greens were very soft in the morning and even my chip shots were leaving ball marks. Not a game changer however. Good value for the money! I’d come back
Solid course. Challenging but fair
This is a great course with a different view than your typical Florida course. Would recommend a round here.
First time playing here, took a shot and all good
Course was nice. Good Calloway rentals but a bit pricey $50 on a monday.
All in all a real nice time.
Just a perfect day all around greens were excellent pace of play was a golfer's delight no one in front and no one behind us for the entire 18 holes We Owned the course
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
The absolute worst. You are basically paying $60 to wait. God awful pace of play every single time i go. They are trying to profit from so many tee times and there are always 2-4 carts waiting at holes. Never again.
