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.

Ok Course

The usual friendly, helpful, professional, courteous pro shop attendant was replaced by a totally different person. Rude, officious, condescending and downright disrespectful. We have been playing this course for years and this is the second time we were received by this individual with exactly the same attitude. Very disrespectful towards players coming in with a discount from Paradise or GolfNow.

Not busy

Ok layout. Tees, greens and sand were all good. Fairways and rough are not so good.

Decent round

A good course to get out with friends and knock some rust off. The course layout was fine but nondescript. It’s not a long course at all with a few very short Par 3s. Tee boxes and fairways were OK. Grass was a little bare in spots and chopped up. Greens rolled well despite fewer and fewer people fixing ballmarks these days. Price is very reasonable and staff was very friendly. Spacious clubhouse.

Great value

Course was a little wet after the rain the night before greens still kept speed and held shots into the green. Played in just over 3 hours with our 4 some.

Rocky Point.

Very slow play that wasn’t monitored. Waited at least 5-19 minutes each hole.

Pace

Pace of play was terrible. They allowed a large group of 8 to play together which caused pace of play to be 3 hours for 9 holes. Staff was not very attentive. Fairways were gauged, greens were burnt, and tee box was full of sand.
