Babe Zaharias Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Temporary greens
Beware, temporary greens in the fairways for all 18 holes. I’ve never seen a course do all of their greens at once like that. Oughta be cheaper than $22. Staff was great tho.
No greens
They have been re-doing the greens for months now. There are only temporary greens in the fairways and the grass is not cut down to anything like a green. Really un-puttable. Takes about 1/2 the game out of play. They are supposed to re-open the greens in Oct.
Simple course but in very poor condition
All 18 holes had temporary greens, which were just a hole in the fairway with flags. The fairways were not good so the temp greens were not greens.... But fo 4th price it was good to practice tee shots and irons.
The price was cheap though.
They are redoing the greens. This should have been communicated before I purchased my round
Nice course
My first time playing here and I enjoyed it. The course is under maintenance and there are temporary greens so not in good shape but I will be back after work is complete.
Replacing the greens
When we booked here we new about the course was only doing 9 holes. What i wasn't aware of what the 9 holes that were open was having the greens replaced.
Makes me wonder why they were even open
When I booked at this course I knew you could only play the front nine because the back nine was under construction. What I didn’t know was the course has NO greens! They painted a circle in the fairway and put the hole there. That information would of been great to know before I booked there
Average Public Course
First time playing this course. I would be inclined to say this is a course to play if you’re trying to learn the game without overspending. The layout was fine. The course is in rough condition. I think that could be due to the weather and the circumstance of the other 9 holes being closed that the holes are being overplayed. Greens need some TLC.
Hope to see this municipal course gets back to where it was before.
Not the best
This course needs some serious renovations. Some of the tees were all dirt.
Babe is rolling in her grave
I was in a hurry and went with the star rating instead of recent reviews. The front nine is closed while they rebuild the greens. How long until they get to putting grass in the fairways on the back nine? Couldn't bring ourselves to playing it twice.
Greens are being replaced
The greens on the front nine are being replaced. You have to play the back nine twice. I love the place but will have to wait until it’s finished before going back.
Course is not at its best..
Warning - Starting May 6th 2024 the entire front 9 will be closed for repairs.
The course is always a nice one to play, but the weather in Florida can take it's toll quickly. This seems to be the case right now. Front 9 was in terrible shape, tee boxes and greens. Back 9 not as bad, but still needs some work and help from mother nature i.e. rain.
I did save a couple balls from going in the water, since a few of the ponds have been drained and emptied.
I will play here again in the future, but once it's back in shape.
