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.

Fairways in decent shape with thin lies. The tee boxes needed the most TLC. Greens were consistent.
Tee boxes
The course overall is in decent shape with the exception of the tee boxes. Most are nothing but weeds and sand. They are in need of some care to improve the overall rating of this course.
Solid!
Very enjoyable round of golf. Challenging enough for the casual golfer, and fast enough (no waiting) for a 3.5 hour round on a weekday AM.
Open course
Overall the course is in good condition, is an open course which personally I don’t like. I wouldn’t pay more than $35 to play here.
Excellent Greens
Greens were in truly amazing shape. Enjoyed our round immensely. Only knock would be the range as the hitting matts are so firm we were concerned about hitting irons off them due to risk of injury.
Great staff and course; would be happy to play here again.
Good value, fairways decent..could benefit from some rain. Most greens in decent shape as well...some tee boxes getting chopped up.
Brand new carts are a plus.
I would recommend this course.
Nice course
Other than being beside Tampa Airport (noisy but you get used to it), it was all positive.
