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.

Club house awful
Restaurant closed and snack bar as well. Clubhouse no drinks or water. They did not even care. Poor staff and management. Golf coarse is just ok.
Need some rain.
Course is a bit rough. No grass in fairways. Water holes are challenging!
Easy to get to.
Met my grandson for a round of golf and lunch. A perfect day! Weather was good, course in great shape and personnel was super friendly. A good time was had by all!
The Babe.
I like the course. It's an old school layout, playable for all levels. It's a munie, not a CC. Still gotta hit shots.
1st time playing
Overall a decent course. The fairways are pretty beat up in some places but the tees and greens were OK
Challenging course
Course was challenging. Greens were OK. Fairways were very dry and need work.
TYpical Florida public course golf
This course is a little short, even from the back (Black) tees, although there are a couple of 400 yard par 4's.
Being a "Yankee" I find that there is little or no actual GRASS on the course. Even where there is green shaggy stuff, it will not support the weight of the ball, so you are basically hitting all of your irons off of dirt. The upside is that balls tend to roll out further, and if you choose to do so, you can putt from ten feet off the green, and the ball will travel just about as far as if you were putting from the putting surface up North. There is no reason to try to hit short chip shots off this hard dirt; just putt it.
Nice place
Nice place, good lay out.
Bar was closed when we finished up. Kinda surprised by that on a Saturday.
Great Municipal Course
Course and especially greens were in very good shape. This is a great municipal course. They had new carts with bucket seats - which I like. Staff were very friendly including the starter. Busy n Saturdays but that’s to be expected.
