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 round

One of my favorite courses to play when in Tampa. New greens were installed back in October. Course was in really good condition considering the damage from the hurricanes. Super friendly staff who delivered our food to the tee box because it was not ready when we made the turn.

Brilliant staff

Check in guy, starter, bev cart lady, and cart guys did a great job. The course is in good shape. The greens were redone approx 6 months ago and are ok. Just need to grow in a little more. The course is old style and therefore, tight. Target golf. No range. the warm up cage needs some work after hurricanes. Overall, had a great day. Fix your pitch marks.

Greens are quick

We like this course, very much. In places, the course is still recovering from recent hurricanes, but is coming back to life. Greens are fair, but very quick, which takes some getting used to. The greens are newly refurbished with new undulations, some of which are fun. We'll be back!

The course was in great shape. Greens would hold and putt straight. Sand traps around the greens were soft and full. Lots of challenging holes.

This course is quite challenging, even from the forward tees....nice fast greens, fairways cut close and with minimal bare spots, but a fair amount of water hazards that will catch an errant shot...overall, the nice course to play and worth the drive from Port Richey.....

Great day playing golf

My girlfriend and I wanted to play a local city course and Babe Zaharias was perfect for our Saturday morning. Friendly staff and adequate amenities. Food and service was great. Will definitely play the Babe again.
