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.

Good course
Sent both of my sons to play this course and they were super happy with it. They said that the tee boxes and greens were great. The golf carts weren’t the newest but they loved that they were quick. The only thing they said needed work was some of the fairways but it was still great.
Good course for the money
Course conditions improved over the last month or so.
Great value for your money
The course is in good condition and the staff is always very friendly.
Golf course in great shape
The golf course is in great shape. The golf carts are NOT rain friendly. There is NO golf club cover on the back of the carts and there is NO windshield. You are completely exposed to the elements. Even less expensive courses have carts that have windshields and a cover for your clubs. NOT GOOD!
Great muni course!
Nice, well maintained muni course. Staff is friendly, and the course is fairly forgiving but with a few challenging holes. Pretty affordable for an afternoon round. Only downside is no driving range.
Good greens
Course was in decent condition greens were ok but pace of play was terrible. Other than that all good and nice course I enjoy playing.
Not a bad course
Fairways are starting to get in rough shape. A fun layout but needs some work on course conditions.
Never see it so bad
Been playing this course for 20+ years due to location and convenience, never seen it in worse condition than it is currently. The Fairways are toast, tee boxes are toasted and seemed to have not mowed anything else in over a week as anything off of the fairway or dirt we were barely able to find as the weeds were about to our knees. Greens were not terrible but had some bare spots but consider that fairly normal for Florida this time of year!
Course conditions poor
This is the worst I have seen this course in a long time. They have a lot of nerve charging the price they did to play this course under these conditions.
Favorite Goat Track ever
You aren’t here for the layout, you aren’t here for scenery, you certainly aren’t here for the course conditions. You are here because it’s the babe and it’s awesome. Never stop sucking!
Just not playable
This course is in some of the worst condition I have seen in a while. The tee boxes are basically sand and anything 50 yards, you were hitting off dirt. Even the fairways were in bad shape with weeds and overgrown grass scattered everywhere. Pace of play was poor and I was playing for 4.5 hours and played the back 9 solo. Staff is excellent and the people playing were nice.
Babe Z
The course is undergoing maintenance. Front nine was closed for green aeration. Back nine was aerated the day prior. Greens were punched and sanded. Tee boxes were also aerated. Fairways are starting to fill in but need more of the summer rains. Maybe in 2 or 3 weeks it will be playable again, but until then play somewhere else…
