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.

Municipal Golf

By far the best of the municipal tracks in Tampa but by far in the worse conditions. Even the tip greens were suboptimal.

Fine lay-out, fairway grass too poor and yellow

Excellent layout

Greens fine, but fairways too dry and irregular.

Too slow pace on day.

The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere made it a great day to play gold on their course. The course layout is pretty straightforward, making it a good choice for golfers. My daughter and I had a great day!

Good Course

It is a very friendly course for beginner golfers. The service is very good and the tee times are met. I would definitely go back.

Great Course for the Money

It’s not going to be the best course you play. There are definitely some holes that are really weird, but it’s a decent spot nonetheless. I’ve been there when the greens are fantastic but on this last play they needed some work. There’s also a few holes with standing water in the middle of the fairway which is unfortunate since it’s not designed to have water in those areas.

For the cost of the round, it’s not to bad and if you need to get a round in, it’s a great go to.

Nice course for the money

Staff is great! Course is in decent shape some greens need help and some tee boxes are beat up but that is to be expected in the winter in FL. We don't get the amount of rain in the winter that we get in Spring and Summer.
