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.

Pace of Play
I understand that this is a public course, but they need to space these tee times further apart. Saturday I left on the 13th hole because I could not sit in the heat waiting to tee off.
Needs work
Nice trek but the tee boxes and other areas need some TLC!!
Love it
I love how open the course is. Greens were Florida winter. Better than most. Best municipal course in tampa I’ve played.
Pace
Pace of play was terrible. They allowed a large group of 8 to play together which caused pace of play to be 3 hours for 9 holes. Staff was not very attentive. Fairways were gauged, greens were burnt, and tee box was full of sand.
Great weather great golf
Liked the course greens were immaculate. Traps were too dry and hard to use sand wedges. But great weather and great round, good food and drink excellent Cuban sandwich!
ROCKY POINT
This course is always crowded so expect to wait on every shot. Played as a 2 some and it was pretty good really but still waiting 5-10 minutes on all shots and teeboxes. Course was in really good shape greens were very smooth and fast I give it 4-5 stars would be 5 but too slow pace of play even on Tuesday
