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.

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

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.
