Babe Zaharias at Babe Zaharias Golf Course

Babe Zaharias Golf Course, nestled in the heart of Tampa, Florida, bears the spirit of one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. It’s a course woven into the fabric of the community.

This traditional Florida layout, originally designed in the mid-20th century, winds through mature pines and gently rolling terrain that demands strategic play and a deft touch around the greens. While not particularly long by modern standards, Zaharias favors the shot maker, placing a premium on accurate iron play and creative shot making. The course, set back from the sprawling city, offers a quaint and quieter experience for golfers.

The club fosters a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, a testament to its roots as a community gathering place. While Zaharias may not host championships on a grand scale, it proudly serves as a fixture for local tournaments and casual rounds alike. Many members love to play it because it’s a nice reprieve from some of the more busy courses in Tampa Bay.
