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.

It's Normal Florida Golf

It's a typical Florida course (Fairways have lots of sandy and bare patches. Greens are slower than most northern US courses). The challenge is over coming the course conditions to shoot a low score.

Not a good day.

Very unfair. Course was awful while greens were good.

But it was after a night of heavy rain so spots everywhere.

Muni with benefits!

Overall course just OK!

Fairways just OK

Greens a little soft and slow and do I need to said FIX YOUR BALL MARKS!

Sand traps have no sand and hard as concrete!

Best thing about the course is pace of play because of 10 minute tee times and a fair price!

Looking for just a OK course with a good pace of play and good rangers play there!
