Babe Zaharias Golf Course
About
Located just 20 minutes from downtown in the Forest Hills section of Tampa, Babe Zaharias Golf Course meanders through a tree-lined residential neighborhood. The golf course measures a modest 6,020 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines on "The Babe" are par 35, the back side sports four par-4 holes in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

A tricky course
It was great playing this course some very interesting holes with some tough layouts.
Good value
Enjoyed the course it was a good value. Greens were good, the fairways were good, the tees were good and the bunkers were well maintained.
The Babe
Had not played the Babe since the summer. It was in pretty good shape. Pace of play was great. Staff as usual always friendly and professional...
The staff there are very nice
Always enjoy playing here. Even after we had rain all night the course was open The course drains very well.
Good round
Greens were very good, not too fast, not too slow; no bare spots or weeds. Pace was a bit slow as there was a a group of 40 that was on the course in front of us, but still a good round.
Good Round
Nice round. Fairways were average for Florida. Greens well maintained. Have played several times a years for several years. Will play again this year.
Really nice course. EXCEPTIONAL VALUE!
I really like this course. I have only played it twice but it is a top 5 local favorite for me. Friendly staff nice course layout. Greens i ln decwnt shape. Tee boxes upkept. The ground was a bit hard but it has been vwry dry lately. Overall I am very happy.
An old course with an old friendly layout, medium class.
It was a great day with nice company
Nice Tract
Avoided playing this course for years because I heard it was always in terrible shape. That was not my experience.Decent tee boxes, nice fairways and true greens. Placement is premium on this . Will return soon.
Nice day with good conditions
Enjoy the round. Weather was great courses in good shape piece of played slow down a bit on the back nine. We will be back.
1st time here
Joined 3 regular players at this course and I'm glad I did as their insight was invaluable. There are some holes which doglegged even more than my GPS system suggested and so having them show me line of play was really helpful.
I hope to play here again on future visits.
The staff were all friendly and helpful which seems to be a common trait on this trip.
