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.

Solid Municipal Course

Very short par 4’s from the tips, greens were on the slower side but consistent throughout. Lots of dog legs. Bartender at the 19th hole was great.

Good course

Sent both of my sons to play this course and they were super happy with it. They said that the tee boxes and greens were great. The golf carts weren’t the newest but they loved that they were quick. The only thing they said needed work was some of the fairways but it was still great.

Always Fun

Greens had just been punched but course was otherwise in pretty good shape. Pace of play is usually pretty good. Course isn't overly long and it's fairly forgiving, but still has a few challenging features.

Sub-Par Muni Course

1st time playing. No driving range. Which is strange but ok. Course was not in good shape. Greens very patchy with a lot of dead spots, didn’t roll well. Fairways were a mix of grass seedling and dirt. Shot a 72 so not poor playing, just not great conditions.

Golf course in great shape

The golf course is in great shape. The golf carts are NOT rain friendly. There is NO golf club cover on the back of the carts and there is NO windshield. You are completely exposed to the elements. Even less expensive courses have carts that have windshields and a cover for your clubs. NOT GOOD!

Great muni course!

Nice, well maintained muni course. Staff is friendly, and the course is fairly forgiving but with a few challenging holes. Pretty affordable for an afternoon round. Only downside is no driving range.

Not a bad course

Fairways are starting to get in rough shape. A fun layout but needs some work on course conditions.

Never see it so bad

Been playing this course for 20+ years due to location and convenience, never seen it in worse condition than it is currently. The Fairways are toast, tee boxes are toasted and seemed to have not mowed anything else in over a week as anything off of the fairway or dirt we were barely able to find as the weeds were about to our knees. Greens were not terrible but had some bare spots but consider that fairly normal for Florida this time of year!
