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.

For the value, good day!!

Overall course in good condition. But they use to many chemicals/fertilizers near the greens and on the greens. Take a hand sanitizer to use during the round!!

Nice course

Haven't played here in awhile but still remembered most of the holes. Only has 2 oar 5s but some long par 4s make up for it. Course was in pretty good condition and the greens ran true. Would recommend to play

In absolutely amazing shape. Grew up playing the Babe and just hadn’t played in years because it used to not be in great condition. Not anymore. One of the better courses in Tampa now!

Babe

Pleasantly surprised by this municipal course. Fairways, tees, traps and tees were really nice. Roughs were sketchy but not good anywhere these days. Back nine had some tough holes and required good shot making. Had good company and the staff were great

Great experience!

I carry a single digit handicap and played “The Babe” for the first time on 2/25/21. The fairways were very good and the greens were excellent. I was impressed by the course conditions on this fun course and by the courtesy, professionalism and friendliness of their terrific staff. I will be back soon!

Cheap golf for time of year

Great price for the expensive rates in FL this time of year. Fun first time, pace of play a little slow because it was very busy.
