Located just 20 minutes from downtown in the Forest Hills section of Tampa, "The Babe" meanders through a tree-lined residential neighborhood. The 18 hole, par 70 course measures a modest 6,244 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines are par-35, the back side features four par-4s in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Babe Zaharias Golf Course underwent a 1.9 million dollar construction project in 2004 that increased the playability, beauty and challenge of the course. All of the putting greens were reconstructed to USGA specifications and replanted with Tif-Dwarf bermuda grass. Further renovations included reshaping and adding tee boxes, updating sand bunkers, resurfacing cart paths and the parking lot, and installing bollards around the perimeter of the course.

Good Public Course, well maintained, We played on a Wednesday afternoon and the course was relatively empty. We got around in about 3 hours. The fairways and greens are currently in better condition than some of the more expensive semi-private courses in the area. March 21, 2013
well maintained Good value for the money, not a very difficult course March 14, 2013
Player friendly course with some challenging holes Great staff ! Greens in vey good shape, reasonably quick March 12, 2013
Long Day The Babe is a nice local neighborhood course that I enjoy to play. The greens were in great shape and quite quick. The only issue that we had, which was no fault of the course was slow play. We learned from the staff that on Tuesday & Thursday they have league play, which was also compounded by the up north people, who are in Florida enjoying our weather. The Ranger did his best to keep the pace of play reasonable, but it was a long day. February 21, 2013
COURSE IS GETTING BETTER, GREENS ARE VERY FAST AND NICE GREENS ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN TAMPA BAY. ALMOST HIT A HOLE IN ONE ON THE FRONT 9 February 18, 2013
this course is ok good course for the price but to many players on course making it very slow ( no marshall ) February 14, 2013
Excellent little course. Stay in the fairway or you will be challenging. We enjoyed it. the people were very friendly. Great Time! February 12, 2013
great course for beginners like us Not to hard, didn't have to rush, 1rst game of the year easy enough perfect to retrain ourself. January 16, 2013
Excellent conditions for this time of the year! Greens and fairways properly maintained. Golf carts with no club cleaner and not every hole has a golf ball cleaner as well. December 2, 2012
Decently maintained but overpriced The Babe is The Babe! We played in August during the rain deluge season, primarily because it's typically fairly dry. Not this time! The back nine was closed, Number 1 was a par 3 to allow for new grass on the fairway and Number 7's tee boxes were all in one location--Ladies tee area. The Babe is always in decent shape and was this time. I typically only play it when other courses are sure to be soggy or when one of my playing mates wants to play there. I simply don't like to pay the price they charge when a better facilty can be found for less and only a few miles away. September 20, 2012
