About
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.

Average course, overpriced and slow.
Bought this noon tee time for a single golfer. Got there and course felt way overbooked. Was stuck behind large groups and was too slow for my taste as a single taking 2 hours and 30 min for 9 holes is unacceptable. I left after 9 holes because the 10th tee had three groups stacked to go out when I made the turn.
Rocky is a good course for the money
Rocky Point is getting a lot of play and the fairways show that. The greens seemed to be in decent shape and played well. Its a good course and typically the pricing is reasonable. Its getting close to 60.00 a round now and I would say that would be top dollar for Rocky Point.
The staff are nice, helpful people. The greens were in great shape. Not so much for the tee boxes and not the fairways. But, it seems to be typical of a Florida course in the area in March. Use this time to work on my game and enjoy being out golfing. If you want serious game, would not suggest playing most public courses in this area in March.
Restrooms on the course are very important to ladies and I'm happy to report that they were very well kept and clean.

Good valve for money, not more. The fairway need care.
Rocky point review
Nice course well maintained no ranger to speed up play and a little pricey otherwise something challenging course very open
Nice Par 3’s
Enjoyable game at Rocky Point - welcomed by a friendly starter who paired us with a single which helped pace of play as it would have felt even slower as a twosome. Courses really should increase time gaps within their booking systems. Some recent reviews had not looked encouraging but not sure why as course was really good for time of year. Greens were lovely, smooth and quick enough to be testing. Plenty grass on fairways which is all that matters. One or two quirky holes where it is tough to judge placement of tee shot to avoid hazards but otherwise very enjoyable and would recommend!!
sheep pasture
Tees all beat up .Fairways sheep pastures .Some greens in great shape but strange some greens where super fast and others are soooo slow .Overall not in my top 50 courses .I've played well over 1000 courses and I would put this course # 552 not good in my book .
Very Slow Play
Tee time was 12:40 and we started exactly at that time as a twosome, so no wait there, but we were quickly delayed on our second shot waiting for the foursome in front of us who had to wait on the ones in front of them and so on through 18 holes. We finished at 17:38 so 5 hour when our normal time is 2:45-3:30 to play 18. That I would say is a negative when it came to value for the money. The staff was very friendly and patient with everyone.
