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.

Course is in good shape

Course is nice. The pace was SLOW!! NO RANGER to be seen. People cut in front of us and slowed things down even more. This infuriated me but I kept my mouth shut. I am a Marine with a terrible temper. I wish their had been a Ranger !!

Short but challenging

Course can be a challenge if you’re unable to it your target or come close to hitting them. Trees can come into play if you’re not careful causing you to have to lay up or punch out greens were a bit slow today but in great shape. Fairways over seeding looks great.

Busy Course

Busy course, needs a marshall to keep people from hunting for balls in ponds and slowing pace of play.. Also people needs to fix their ball marks on greens… common courtesy of playing golf.

Challenging course, but great if you keep ball in fairways.

Pretty awesome

Friendly staff with nice clubhouse and bar. Nice gathering area outside, and the course was in good shape. Lot of trees, and surrounded by a neighborhood, so bring some extra golf balls.

Great afternoon with family.

We are not avid golfers but wanted to spend the afternoon together while all visiting Tampa. My sons and I had a great time and the staff could not have been friendlier. Track is nothing special but it was perfect for us. I will definitely be back.

Need some work

Definitely needs some TLC to rate a better overall review. Several areas were over saturated with hydrating while other areas were brown and in poor shape. It is a good, low priced option to get a loop in locally however, I think they need to do some serious revisions to the entire course to give it a better chance as an option.

A good trek.

Nice course, well maintained, great challenging greens. Was very foggy for the first nine (started in 10) so we really didn’t get to see much but it had cleared by the time we started the front, very beautiful course. Lots of big water to hit over.

Very good value

The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars on the course because of one tee box was mostly sand and one green was eaten by something, leaving you to put thru holes.

Greens need work

The course was in ok shape but I have seen it in a lot better condition. My biggest gripe at this time would be the greens. The greens were really bad. Burnt out and bumpy is probably putting it nicely. I have played Babe Zaharias many times but I don't remember the greens being all chewed up like that. All in all your not paying a lot and it a nice little course for the money.
