Rating 69.0

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.

Fun day of golf

Had a great time at the course, play the round in just under 4 hours. The greens were filled with weeds but still rolled true for the most part, some greens were slow while others were fast so challenging to gage. Overall had fun and really that's all that matters.

Older course. Greens good. Staff great! Public course. Nice layout. Good mix of challenging and easy holes. Great that Tampa honors Babe. Wish they would put more money into the course. Would play again!

Fun Play

Just the right amount of hazards to pose a good challenge. Babe gets top marks for providing cold drinking water on the course at various locations. Fairways dry with fair amount of spotty areas, and greens also in fair but playable conditions. Still worth the money nonetheless. No driving range, but they do have a putting/chipping practice area. Best surprise? After teeing off over a pond on a par 3, a fisherman appeared and proceeded to fish! Too cute…
