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.

Fun course
Good course very open. Not too difficult if you keep your ball in play. Would play it again sometime when I can get another good deal.
Worth the Hot Deal
First time I've ever played golf in under 3 hours and 15 minutes during the Winter in Florida. Pace of play was great! Rained earlier in the day and the course was pretty wet off the fairways, course needs better drainage. Really enjoyed the layout, thought the course was pretty tight. Tee boxes were in great shape, greens were too minus the ball marks. If there weren't so many ball marks, the greens would be in perfect shape for Florida Winter considering the amount of play this course probably gets. Will play again, especially when this course has any hot deals on the weekend. Very hard to find a course under $40 on a Sat/Sun. Don't know if I would pay the full price to play here with all the snowbirds.
Not as good this time
I was disappointed in the amount of grass in the fairways. I played about a month ago and the fairways were in good shape and didn't lack grass. Hopefully the fairways gets grass back soon.Greens were rolling well.
old course
The oldest course we've playedef here but mayber the friendliest. LOTS of water, greens in very good shape
My Kingdom for a patch of grass!
This was the first time I've played here in 25 years. The greens were recently sanded but were still receptive and rolled true.
The fairways, on the other hand, were lacking much grass at all. It's a nice layout but needs TLC.
Nice greens
Very nice greens, tees were ok, but the fairways lacked grass. Traps were in good shape but again too many dirt lies in the fairway.
Don’t waste your money
Goat run and. Horrible pace of play. Go get your teeth pulled before going there!!
ROCKY POINT GOLF COURSE
The course fairways and green were ok
I would play the course again
Great place
We had a lot of fun. Course was a little soggy from heavy rain recently. Greens were nice and soft but subtle breaks were hard to see. Very friendly staff, can't wait to play again.
Great Course
Although challenging, it’s a fantastic course to play several times to learn where to land your ball. Hole #5 costs me a stroke EVERY TIME I play!!! Love it!
Fun Course
The course has a nice layout. The fairways could be a little more lush but the greens were more than acceptable.
Some hazards could be a little better marked as this course is deceptively difficult the first time through.
Great course, staff, and rentals for people traveling
Had a great time on this course! Can slow up at turn.
