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.

Going down hill

All the money being spent on the new clubhouse needs to be split and given back to the course . If there is a maintenance crew they forgot how to mow . The rough was US Open lengths for amateurs. Losing a ball during the round that should be found easily because the rough is so penal it takes the enjoyment out of playing .For a municipal course it's in a sad state of affairs as the rough is only one challenge . Won't be back for a long while

Mow the grass

Lost balls in fairway because of the un-mown grass. Greens were hairy too. Tee boxes are pretty beaten down. Too expensive for a municipal course. I will not play here again.

Fun if you like doglegs

Great course decent condition greens and black tee boxes were very nice. No danger at all but EVERY other hole is a dogleg. Very short. Water is purely decorative. Shot even par with very little effort. Staff was very friendly. Fun course it's just surrounded by better courses

Decent Course

Played this course for the first time. Pace of play on Sunday was 4 hours. Greens and fair ways were in fair to good condition. Tee boxes were a little rough on half the holes. Overall, a decent municipal type course. I would play again, if pace of play was always 4 hours. Good course to work on your game.
