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.

Course Play
The only chance that you have not to lose a ball is from the Tee Box onto the green. The grass needs to manicured in order to keep this course in pristine play. Also charging ten dollars on top of your green fee's is insane. Are we not experiencing a pandemic?
Great course but pace of play was spotty
We had an excellent time and would definitely play again. Only thing i would say is that the course should emphasize pace of play to larger groups and groups that are walking. What would take five minutes of waiting for those groups would save the group playing faster behind them a lot of time.
Like the course
We pay this course about once per month and really like it. Good value at an established course. Some holes easy, others challenging. We'll be back!
Nice
Nice little course in the middle of the city nice layout enjoy the round and will return
Greens and fairways need help
There is no off season in Florida. Conditions were just below average. No other way to say it.
Great course to play at and challenging only issues I have every time we go is the starters always overbook and as a result wants you to play with multiple people. If your a fan of discussing business and playing with strangers everytime then this is the course for you.
We like this course
We really enjoy playing here and the course is on our regular rotation. This time was a little challenging as we played on the 4th of July which meant there were a lot of extra golfers who normally aren't there on a Monday - and they were duffers, which slowed up our play. But still it is always an enjoyable outing for us to play BZ. Rains are greening up the fairways, but greens were slow. Rough is taller than usual.
Good Value
Ok, this is not a TPC course, but you aren't paying TPC green fees. The fairways were well kept and rolled well. For this price range, the greens were nicely kept. The rough was punishing, but not intentionally, it was just not well kept. It had been raining alot so maybe it was due to be mowed. That was my only real complaint on the day. The staff was.very nice. Pace of play was excellent, but it was a summer afternoon in FL, so no surprise that there was plenty of room. Again, for 20-25 dollars, it is a fun round and very easy to access from Tampa. I'll be back.
