Babe Zaharias Golf Course
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.

Much better than I expected when I pulled in
Course is very short, so was good for me to hit some FW's and Hybrids off of tees. Course is in much better shape than I expected. Not top notch by any means, but better than $50 normally gets you in this area.
Pace was nice, never waited too terribly long because the holes are short. Has a few unique holes that are risk reward
Great little course.
It's a par 70 not 72, some trouble with sand and water, if you hit some wayward shots. Good layout where water and sand come into play. Very well maintained and excellent staff, very friendly.
Nice lay out with several dog legs. The carts are like new. Tee boxes in excellant shape. As much fairway grass as any other course. Greens nice
Fun
The staff were perfect. Give them all a raise. Pace was held up at first due to a very slow group. Ranger went right out and got them moving. Greens are a little fuzzy and slow. Allowing grass to catch up with all the snow bird damage. Had a great time and will return. Great staff!
Great Course
Best course I’ve played in the Tampa area considering price and conditions of the course.
Good course for the price
This is not a super long course but was still fun. It was a bit dry but the greens were in very good shape.
Great course for the price
Coming from Quebec, Canada. I’m used to the soft ground and everything that we have up there. First course played in Florida. The ground is in ok shape, really dry and the fairway are tight, next to some road and houses. But overall, for the price, this course is good!
Good golf
Pace of play for a 10:25 tee off was excellent.Course was well maintained and thr greens were rolling true.Stau in the fairway balls all difficult to find with the leaves.4 stars
"The Babe"
Always a pleasure to go to The Babe. From the front desk, to the starter to the Food Service workers personnel working there are always friendly and professional. Course was in good shape, still need to get some more grass in the fairways. Pace of play was great....Sure wish there were windshields in the carts. Will definitely return
Short, but nice course
I was vacationing in the Tampa area and was just looking for a quick round to play. The course was in decent shape. It was a good thing that I was playing with others, who played their regularly as they were a few sharp, dog legs and blind shots. Nevertheless, overall it was a good course, and a good value.
