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.

Fun Course
The course has a nice layout. The fairways could be a little more lush but the greens were more than acceptable.
Some hazards could be a little better marked as this course is deceptively difficult the first time through.
Fun Course
Course is somewhat open so play was pretty fast. Greens are in great shape.
Great city course
Play was a little slow with a single player being put out in front of us. There was a threesome behind us that he should have been put with. Other than that all was good
Not worth what they’re charging
While the pace of play was great, the course itself wasn’t in the best condition. There is no real defined fairway/rough and the greens were ok, not great. Some holes fairways it looked like the grounds crew just gave up trying as there’s a lot of sandy, run down areas near some greens. Conditions caused some frustration on certain holes as a good shot ended up in a crappy part of the fairway.
Overall the cost is not worth this course. There are better options for the same price.
Good Day
The course is a nice layout, no major challenges but enough to be fun. The back 9 can be tricky( don’t try to over power the course 😁😁
This course is god awful!
I would never recommend this course to anyone. I’m embarrassed to say I paid and played. I do not know how they keep people coming. I would call this place a “goat track” or cow pasture.
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
