Rating 69.0

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.

Cheap golf for time of year

Fair track

Generous fairways, true greens, tee boxes were okay. Areas off the fairways was pretty rough. Lots of fun though, but when isn’t a beautiful day and golf fun?!!

Surprised

Had not played Babe Zaharia in a number of years. Difficult to get a single reservation on Golfnow with any TSA course.

Presently surprised at the condition of the tees and Fairways.Their greens are as good as any in the Tampa area. Not fast, but very Consistent and look great.

Enjoyed the room with three regulars play the Babe often.Will be back., Soon
