Rogers Park - TopTracer Range

Reservations for TopTracer bays are strongly encouraged. Once a reservation is completed, you will receive an email outlining your reservation and the rules and policies of our TopTracer Range. Please take a few minutes before arrival to review these with your party. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled reservation time. This will provide ample time to check in for your reservation and register with Toptracer software. Your bay is only guaranteed for the time you have made for your original reservation. Time extensions are available on a case-by-case basis based on occupancy. If you are late for your reservation, this will count towards your rental period. (IE, if you are scheduled for 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm but don't show up until 7:10 pm, your reservation will still conclude at 8:00 pm.Rogers Park was the only picnic area for the African American community in Tampa. The park took the name of its contributor, G.D. Rogers. After church on Sundays many families came to enjoy the swings, slides, baseball diamond, and picnic area. Mayor Curtis Hixon gave permission to a group of caddies from Palma Ceia (seea) CC to build a nine hole golf course. The first Head Golf Professional, Willie Black directed his group of volunteers. All of the tree removal and shaping was done by hand. Upon its completion in 1952 the Rogers Park Golf Club was born.

In 1976 the City of Tampa gave management rights to the newly formed Tampa Sports Authority. A $400,000 renovation project began with Ron Garl as the designer. An irrigation system was installed as well as expanding to another city owned property across the street.

In 2000 the Tampa Sports Authority renovated again. This time a 4 million dollar renovation was needed. The irrigation system was replaced; the greens were rebuilt to modified USGA specifications. A lot of other landscaping and reshaping of holes was added to enhance the character of Rogers Park GC.

In 2001 a new maintenance compound was completed, and in 2002 a new clubhouse was built.
