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.

Fun Course
Fun little course. It is short but definitely has a few challenging holes. Easy walking course. Staff was extremely friendly. Would recommend playing here no matter your skill level.
good course
overall very good course with a great layout.pace of play was real good and the greens are good.
Not a pushover
Overall, a nice mini course. Only concern is the rough...,pretty thick
Try the beef hotdog....excellent!!
Good course
Excellent course in great condition. Fast rolling greens and water strategically in the right places. Will play again soon and definitely recommend it if you haven’t played there.
Solid Muni when it's in shape.
The course is always fun to play and makes you think you're way around.its not long so bombing your way isn't the answer here; touch, iron play and a good putter benefit you here for sure...will definitely play again
Great course
In great shape and fast greens. Plenty of hazards to challenge you.
Needs better area for practice
Everything was fine with the course except the area to warm up with wasn't that good at all.
good track for the money
got around in three hours, fifteen minutes
played black tees(which is 5900+yds. @ 119 slope); there are some challenging par 4s (#16 requires a stick-straight drive of 250+yds. - if you want a clear 150 yd.shot to the elevated green)(#13 is another 400+ yd,, dogleg left, with approach a forced carry over a lake)(#18 is 400+yd dogleg right, with mature oaks & OB running down entire right side; there is also a pond on left - so a slight, long fade is ideal)(#2 is similar to @18 - except no water; there is OB on both sides, but the real challenge is the tall Oak @ corner of dogleg)
I like the course; I would hope players would do more to rake their bunker tracks, fill their divots, and repair their ballmarks
Difficult Layout, Decent Conditions
Played from the back tees for yardage, but I don’t recommend. Course has some very challenging layouts that make it difficult if your first time. Fairways and greens were in good shape, rough and elsewhere were not great.
For the price, it’s worth trying once.
