Rogers Park Golf Course

Originally booked to play on the 16th and got rained out by the second hole. Came back to finish play yesterday - after a brief rainstorm, we were able to play through. Amazing course and great conditions - greens were recently aerated which they set clear expectations of prior so no complaints there.

Without notice and no advance warning from Golfnow, I got to the course and discovered only the front 9 was open. On top of that. They had just punched and sanded the greens. By sand I mean they just dumped sand on top of the greens. No visible green was showing. The tee boxes had not been mowed nor had the rough. Almost every sand trap had water in the bottom. The worst part was they did not tell me that the 1st Tee organization was holding camps. Not a big deal until there is three groups of campers walking in front of you. Made for a long 9 holes. I expect better from a City course.

So this was two weeks ago, but these were the worst greens I’ve been on in a long time. Like laughingly bad, plus of course I brought out of town people there, and there were thinking I played a joke on them.

Some holes almost half of the greens were dead, others the tee box was just sand

Course allowed five and even six players in the same group. That’s not proper. Why?

The layout, tees and fairways were decent but most of the putting surfaces are in dire shape. Hard to recommend at this time.

A year ago I would have recommended this course

….. but now, no. This course didn’t have a single intact green not covered in sand, dead spots and punched out greens that never had the grass grow back.

If you are not dead center fairway, chances are you are getting from dead grass, sand, mud, or damaged course.

I play a lot in tampa and as of now 06/18/23 it is no where near worth the value they are charging to play.

… you expect grass to look better during rainy season but this course is worn out. Plus pretty sure the premade hotdogs almost made us like by 12

Greens aerated 2 days ago. Nice fairways. Dry areas around greens.

Love this course. Challenging enough but not ridiculous. As with everywhere in Tampa, a little dry but nice course

The price for admission doesn't reflect how bad the ride was.

I'm not sure who will read this, if you're someone who works at the course in management, please, please do something to fix the problems on the course. The greens fee is not worth playing the course, you should be embarrassed to charge such a high price and you are not fixing any of the problems at the course. At least fix the greens.

I have nothing good to say about anything the course has to offer.

Pretty overpriced given conditions, pace of play, and overall quality. Never any starters or rangers to manage place of play. The conditions of the greens and tees are always hit or miss. Today they were choppy and infested with ants (hello summer). Staff in the pro shop are always rude besides the hispanic gentleman who always apologizes for them. They host tournaments and shut down the course/range randomly with no heads up or indication on their website. Can’t count how many times I’ve shown up to hit the range but it’s closed for an event. Whenever I say something about the price, I always hear about the par 3 course and practice facility that’s being built but over the past 3 years of visiting the course, I haven’t noticed much progress if any at all. Today the man in the pro shop said “you should see the prices at rocky point” (another dog track). Great comparison. Unfortunately I won’t be returning.
