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.

Rough
Staff was friendly, grill was nice with good food & prices. Golf course not so much. Tee boxes chewed up pretty good. Fairways pretty bare. Sand was good bits lots of traps & lots of traps directly in front of a lot of 5he greens. Greens rolled pretty good by were hard as a rock, you can’t fly a ball into the green it will roll over. A few long Carrie’s over water also.
The Babe
Babe was not in the great of condition. Fairways left a lot to be desired as there were loads of bald spots and bad spots all over the fairway. Where is the grass??? Greens were okay but tons of non repaired ball marks....Sand traps were not raked....Was in great condition after the hurricanes but it seems that the course went down hill afterwards.....
We like this course
Beautiful day, but fairways were't always fairways – just that time of year. Greens slick as they can be. Be gentle! We like this course and play it often.
Welcoming layout
Good price on a straightforward layout that was a good entry back to golf after a lengthy layoff.
Update
Golfed here last year and course was in pretty good condition. This year the course is rough, not sure if due to the hurricanes this year. Great 19th hole, very clean and great drink and food menu for a quick bite.
Babe's doing well
A nice round of golf today with some cool new friends. Course is FUN to play and you have to make shots here to score. Keep up the good work!!
1st time since the greens renovation
Always like the Babe, not necessarily a destination course but fun to play. Greens were really quick on a very windy day. Greens were great, fairways were good, edges and under the trees were the Babe, .
Spent time in the renovated snack bar and lounge and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and service. Good day at the Babe.
The Babe has gone down
Course conditions have gone down dramatically since the last time I played it a couple of months ago. After the hurricanes it was in the best shape I had seen it in for years. Now it is in awful shape. The fairways are dirt ways with dead grass and dirt.
Decent layout of course but lacks privacy
Several instances where we had to wit to tee off due to have pedestrians in the fairway from the neighborhood crossing through the course. I was under the impression it was private property but none of the people in the neighborhood didn't seem to care constantly walking and riding bikes through the fairway. Saw two different people on bikes ride to holes with water to try to steal golf balls out of the water. Lots of distractions and little to no privacy. I prefer more privacy and wooded areas for courses to allow for an escape this one felt like golfing through downtown tampa.
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.
