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.

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.
Fun
Windy day but everything was great. Love the new carts! Close to the best conditions we’ve played this season.
Challenging but open.
I am an average player. Played this course three consecutive days. Hazards are strategically placed, but if you hit fairly straight you can have a good round. Lots of fun.
Good course to play
The course was fun to play with good layouts. The length was pretty good for my game. However, there were many spots on the course with no grass (just dirt).
Nice little track
Play here at least once every trip. Decent track. Close to airport. Staff very nice. Nice greens. Pace of play early morning is great. Never taken more than 3 hours to play.
Great!
This course is great! Wide open and challenging and beautiful. The staff is always friendly.
New carts, greens are in excellent shape. Fairways are decent as are most of the tee boxes. (Some tee boxes need care)
I will be back soon!
Vacay Round
Was on a vacation at the beach with family and was going to have a cloudy, overcast, but rainless day. Looked on the app and found an early tee time and booked it on a whim. There were numerous courses around, but mostly private. This and one other were close(within 30 mins drive). Rocky Point won out with the early tee time. I was a fourth added to a threesome. Was weary of who I'd be playing with, but ended up making 3 new friends who were exceptional to play golf with and to be included. Great experience! Course was in good shape and had a good layout. Greens were exceptional. Extremely fast, sloped and challenging. The staff were friendly and hospitable. Clubhouse was nice and conveniently located. Was glad to see a young group of children getting instruction in the game. Golf is gonna be fine! I would recommend this course for any big group who was looking for a place to play. Very convenient location!!! Enjoyed immensely!!!
