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 To Be Back !
Myself and my friend said it has to be 6/7 yrs since we were here.. It was a cold Feb day with six other friends. Anyway we had a great 'round ! We will be back more often ! The gals running the show were Aces too - Thanks Ladies !
Tuesday Trouble
So The Greens are in really bad shape! So are the tee boxes and fairways! There are 3-4 good Greens out of 18. The rest of them are a mess. They have rot, punches and are so slow! My buddy checked us in so I didn't have to see anyone or use the facilities. No Starter, I wonder why? Sorry BABE! I have never seen the place look so bad. I was embarrassed for my buddy playing there his first time.
Couple play all 18
We could only play the front 9 twice. This was not in the details of the reservation. I felt like it was dishonest to advertise 18 with only 9 holes in shape to play.
Greens
They spent all that money to redo the greens and fairways and they let them go to crap greens keeper should be terminated
Good for a hack like me
My only criticism is the grass conditions. Some of the greens have huge sand/dirt patches and the fairways are kind of rough as well. That being said, the pace of play was better than expected, the greens had some interesting levels and undulations, and I enjoyed the round.
Worst course I’ve ever played
This has got to be, by far, the absolute worst course I’ve ever played at. The fairways are filled with weeds and dirt. Grass is non-existent. Almost all the greens had scalping spots that had no grass and just dirt. Very frustrating to play a course like this when the pictures on their website shows something completely different.
Fairways are spotty and so are the greens. Love the layout.
Babe is a good course to play
Very nice course staff was friendly ice cold beers at the end
the worst
This is without a doubt the worst tract I have ever played. Tee boxes are dirt, fairways are dirt, greens are abysmal & also dirt. I’d pay $35 not to play there again. It was actually comical to see how unmaintained this course is. Only thing worse than the course was the gnat population. They were an unstoppable force. Play here and get ready to play in terrible conditions on 95% of the course and snack on gnats while you drive your windshield-less golf cart. Bring your ski goggles to protect your eyes.
"The Babe"
Had no played Babe Z in a while and the greens were ok they did have some rough areas on all the greens, fairways were beat up pretty bad. Would have been a quicker round of golf if Club House had not let 2 some and 3 some combine after a couple of holes as they held us up the rest of the day once we got behind them. Starter absolutely fantastic!!!!!!1!
