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.

Beautiful day for golf!
The course is still experiencing some challenges brought on by hurricane damage. The greens are slower than most courses around here, so I had to be aggressive on putting. The narrow fairways on some holes made it somewhat challenging, and a few holes had me using my imagination to get to the green. I would love to come back for some more!
Rocky Point Close until hurricane repairs are done
Course was in terrible shape. I understand issues due to hurricane but not an enjoyable outing. Should close and get the course in condition
Thank You Santa
The pace of play was great. We never waited at all. The highlight of our day was Santa showing up in a Golf Cart and gave each of us a Christmas gift. A very nice gesture on the courses part and very much appreciated by my wife and I. Thank you Santa 🎅
Tampa Muni
Course was in acceptable shape.
The tee's had been overseeded recently, had not been mowed in a few days, so the overseed green was growing. Greens were decent speed, some cups had rough edges. For a Muni Course, and the price to play golf in Tampa rising, Rocky Point is a good deal. Pace of play, excellent.
Decent
Course was in good shape, greens had some blemishes; however, not too bad. Only real downfall is the new carts don’t have a windshield or rain cover for your clubs. Staff was very nice and accommodating.
Peanut
Course recently went through several storms and overall was cleaned up pretty well. However the course looks ratty, greens were the best part of the curse, sand traps were the worst, basically soft dirt. I would never recommend the course to anyone willing to pay full price as there are much better courses in the area. However if you’re just trying to get a round in or hacker just trying to play if you can find some discounted rates then the course may work for you.
have played here many times. the course was in great shape. well worth the $$$$$$$$$$
Nice people and course
The pace was good and the course was in pretty good condition. The staff there were very friendly.

Over Booked
Way over booked!!
Waited 10 mins on every shot. Greens are slooooow
have pround the course in great shape. played here many times,
Bad greens
I played Rocky Point many times when I'm down for the winter. This is the worse I've seen the greens. They were terribly slow and also had many bad areas with some deep holes that were like small divots. Looks like they are doing some minor work to the greens. I know there went through a hurricane and hopefully they can get the greens back to playable. The rest of the course was in normal conditions for Rocky Point
