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.

Pretty boring course
Mostly straight fairways and the pace of play was horrendous. They sent out a league right before my tee time and it took 2 and a half hours to play the front 9. There's basically no OB so there were balls fly everywhere, some kid accidentally hit a shot on the fairway i was playing and hit a shot at the green i was waiting on to clear then realized he was shooting at the wrong green
Not worth price
The course needs some management. I understand it's summer in Tampa, but close to $50 for 9 holes only lose balls in the fairway because they become plugged is bad. $30 for 9 is a stretch at the current state of the course.
Nice course and a challenging layout. I will forsure play here again
Good value and in Good Condition
Played as twosome. Finished in 3.5 hours. Farways and greens were in good condition. Would play regularly if pace and conditions are like this all the time.
What a dump
I typed out a long review. Tried to post a pic and won’t accept it and made me start over. Don’t waste your money or time on this course. Awful conditions. Wayyyy overpriced. The people leaving 4-5 stars must work at the place.
Great Track!
This course was a lot of fun. Very well maintained, with big greens. They have the ability to move the pins and give this course a new look every time you play it. Greens were in great condition, fairways mint, overall great course.
Dump
Among the worst courses I’ve ever played. $58 to play with a cart and it wasn’t worth half that. No starter on a busy Saturday and it was a free for all. Twosomes all over the place…people just teeing off whenever they were ready. Didn’t seem like there were any rules of any kind. Course is terrible and the tee boxes are an absolute joke.
Fun outing
Chance for my son and I to get in a quick nine. We had a great time. Course was in good shape. Definitely better than last outing.it’s obvious they are focusing on improvements. That’s a good thing. Fun, cost efficient, well paced round. We’ll go again
Great value for the money
The course was well kept and had great greens. Played with new and experienced golfers and everyone enjoyed the round. We found $35 to be an amazing weekday hot deal for an 18 hole round.
All the stuff was excellent the bar the service there was great same with the cart girl and check in at the counter at the golf shop. I actually have my best friend of the year having never played that course before.
Great golf course
Course was in great shape. Finished in less than 4 hours on a beautiful Saturday morning.
