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.

Thursday Morning play
Course was not crowded and pace was very relaxed. Grounds were in great shape, putting green was closed due to sanding. The weather was typical Florida, HOT! Great track for a fun time. Front nine is playable by most players, back nine is a little more challenging but still moderate.
Not again
This was the first time playing this course and I would never play it again. The fairways are very rough and the pace of play is outrageous. The greens were the only Pleasant part of this experience.
Well manicured greens.
Beautiful and challenging course.I played better than I expected.A few of the fairways had some brush in the middle which didn’t seem fair.All in all I can’t wait to play it again.
Terrible Course Conditions and Pace
I only played 6 holes out of my 18 hole tee time. The course was in very rough shape, except for the greens. Completely infested with ants. The fairways and rough are nothing but bald spots and ant hills. The ants had infested my cart as well, I was bitten multiple times before I finally gave up. I had to disinfect and exterminate my bag due to all of the ants getting all over it. Never going back to that place, complete **** hole. Especially not for $50 /round.
Bro'ing the game
Foursomes w/ matching bowling shirts, backwards hats, loud music, playing from tips (and driving it 150yds if that).
Ridiculous wait time between shots, POOR course etiquette. Groups playing Superball from wrong fairway, have to wait for all 4 to hit, greens could be nice but ball marks galore. Tee boxes crowned, little to no grass. For $50!
Fun
Good time. Only downside, the course is narrow. Don’t hook or slice, you will likely lose your ball.
Not well maintained
Nice layout but fairways and tee boxes are not in good condition at all. Greens were pretty good.
Ok for the money
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Course was rough, fairways had a lot of burnt out and dirt areas, tee boxes were pretty beat up and uneven. Greens were long and slow
Rocky Points to happiness
G O L F. : Great Opportunities,Lots of Frustration Love this course!!
Idiot with a girlfriend
3:10 pm tee time on Saturday March 16. They put me behind a girl in a dress and Sandler who was whiffing at the ball on the first tee. I sensed it coming and asked her boyfriend if I tee off before them. But the idiot said they were all ready to go. I hope he reads this (if he can read). I immediately went to the pro shop and got a rain check. Next time take her the range.
Staff excellent
The lady in the restaurant was the best service and friendly person that makes the round so much better she is the courses best asset starter was the same both made my round so good thanks I will be back
Excellent staff
