Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course for all levels
Greens were great and fairways wide and accessible. 3 foursomes on one hole is too slow. Love coming here and bring all my Canadian friends. Called the pro shop but to no avail. Slow play doesn’t happen that often but sometimes it’s really bad when a twosome holds the hole course up. Won’t stop us from coming back though. Thanks
Might Be My Last Time at Babe
This is hard to write, because I live in the neighborhood, but yesterday was likely my last day playing The Babe for the foreseeable future. There have been many improvements to the grill/amenities, as well as the staff, but they still haven’t done a thing to help mitigate the idiots who find their way onto this course. I understand that it’s a city muni, but Rogers Park and Rocky Point don’t seem to have this issue. For some reason, the pace of play at Babe is always atrocious, and 4-5 holes in… I’m ready to leave. I can pay $10 more per round and go to a club with a starter/ranger that will help minimize this garbage. Yesterday, I waited about 10 minutes on each tee box to tee off. There was a group of 6 in front of me. Not sure how that even happens? Lots of people hitting it into the neighborhood and hunting for balls, not picking up after 8+ strokes, lining up putts for 2 minutes, only to leave them 4 feet short… constant nonsense like this at The Babe. The greens are terribly slow and the rough is basically dirt/leaves/roots, but I can live with all of that, mainly because of the proximity of the course to my house, if the pace of play is good. Until they get a ranger here to resolve what has become a real problem, I’m not subjecting myself to this frustration again. A few months of a good ranger at the course and these morons who are ruining The Babe will stop coming back.
Good intro to your golf season
Mature tree lined golf course, playable par fours, occasionally getable GIR. Fun layout. Great course to get your swing, chipping and putting tuned up. Great older layout to get your game on. FUN!
Course was unfortunately just not in the best shape. Loose debris under every ball you hit, greens were like my grandmothers carpet, fairways were thinly cut to where each shot was either rock hard surface or basically loose dirt underneath. It was about the equivalent to having a course in your average back yard. The shape and layout is pretty expected for a $30-40 round play but outside of it being a remaining last course option to play I probably won’t go out of my way to play it again for a while. Cart brakes don’t work either just fyi.
Muni
Not a bad little local track to wheel around at . Layout it fine. Some cool holes . Only complaint is greens are slow and furry .
Great course
Very nice , helpful friendly staff
It was our first te there
We certainly will come back
