Rocky Point Golf Course has one of the most interesting histories of any golf course in Florida. 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.

Spring Training

This is another go to golf course during our March stay. Price is good for this area. Course conditions good for a public course for this area and time of year. We will play here again in preparation for our summer golf in Michigan. Thank you Golf Now/Tee Off for the deals.

Interesting and challenging back 9 layout with water hazards. Greens large and in good shape.
Difficult pin locations on day I played. Fairways and traps not well maintained.

Snowbird

This course is a mess. Fairways are full of weeds. The tee boxes need some love and the greens are awful. The previous flag stick holes have dead grass and are elevated. It like playing pinball ! Plan on three putting most greens! I've played this 20+ times in the last two years but this year it's one and done!
I'll spend my money elsewhere until this course gets serious about taking care of it.

Torture

Fairway and T boxes were in very bad shape, greens one kept well due to all the divot marks. Overall, the course layout is not very well-maintained.
