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
review
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.
The Babe is Back!
The new greens are awesome! The rest of course is in the same condition as it always has been. The fairways and tees are typical condition for an affordable public course in Tampa (crabgrass and hardpan). Fun layout!
Great value round
Friendly staff, good food, course was paced well and in good condition. The greens were outstanding, recently replaced so they were great but firm. Overall a great value round.
Quite An Enjoyable Round of Golf
Kudos to TSA for the new greens at Babe Zaharias. They are both true and fast. Factoring in hurricanes Helene and Milton, the course condition was excellent. Many trees are down, but all fairways were clear even though some had ground under repair due to prior flooding from overflow of ponds. The weather was perfect, the pace of play was perfect and the staff (especially the restaurant staff) were awesome. Definitely looking forward the playing again.

I recently had the pleasure of playing on the newly designed and developed greens at Babe Zaharias. The updates to the greenside bunkers were particularly impressive, contributing to an exceptional golfing experience. The course is very well-maintained, with immaculate fairways (except 1st & 10th hole) and tee-off areas. Overall, the enhancements have elevated the quality of the course, making it a highly recommended destination for golf enthusiasts.
greens 9.5/10 everything else 3/10
greens are absolutely amazing , some of the best ive seen, but, the rest of the course is terrible fairways and tboxes look like the median of I75, no range, t times are super close so pace of play isnt that fast and for a 60$ course id expect alot better.
Under going renovations
All 18 holes have temporary greens and the fairways are aerated. They are almost done with the greens so by next month they should be fine. I can’t wait to see the course when it’s done.
