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.

Golfer Reviews
Fun course
My wife and I played 18 with a cart ,we had a foursome of older gentleman in front of us . And a foursome behind us . The pace of play was slower than I liked but it didn’t ruin my day we had a good day . The staff throughout the day was awesome. Me and my wife like the course and will be back.
Feel good course
The course was in decent shape for not having rain in a long while, a fairly easy course. Liked the design of the course. Great staff, good shape, scored well , had a great time !
Course
Greens patched up and hardly any grass on fairways.
Poor Babe looked alittle hagered
I usually don’t give out bad reviews but this course was horrible! Greens were brown, burnt, hard and crusty. The rest of the course wasn’t much better. Paid $60 should only be a $25 course. I know it’s winter but people have to give honest reviews . Any Tampa courses that says $60 is probably a$30 course. Plan on paying $90-100
For a good course in Tampa
A Local Gem
As usual, the staff was awesome - this includes pro shop, cafe and the starter. This course is short, but has a few very challenging holes. The greens are sloped and fast. So, keep that in mind in order to score low. I highly recommend.
FIVESOMES
We were behind a fivesome, when we tried to play through after 9, they approached us on the 10th tee and said , the group ahead of them was also a fivesome including the course director, and we should let them resume their position We played in just under 4 hrs but we have played this course in 3 hrs as a 3-some.
Poor golf etiquette, we teach our juniors to follow etiquette and these were not juniors
Very Good
Fairways and greens were very good. Greens a bit slow, but it doesn’t roll off on the down hill puts.
Babe
Course overall in fairly good condition, some fairways were dry and weedy, but overall good condition tea boxes in good shape considering
