Golfland of Tampa's North Side is the historic 1926 plat at the southern half of developer Burks L. Hamner's North Side Country Club, and it is the nucleus of today's Forest Hills neighborhood in north Tampa. The neighborhood and its golf course were designed in 1926, the course originally called Golfland Country Club, per the Tampa Bay History Center and local histories.
The housing stock is a mix: several distinctive Tudor-style homes from the 1926 boom era still stand alongside the more common 1950s and 1960s block ranch homes, under a mature tree canopy. Because eras and conditions vary widely, this is a comp-by-comp market where character and the lot matter.
The golf course at the heart of the area was bought and improved by golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1949, later fell into disrepair, and was taken over by the city in 1974; it operates today as the Babe Zaharias golf course. Most homes carry no community-wide HOA, so the carrying cost is taxes plus insurance; confirm the CDD status per parcel.
The location is central north Tampa, near USF, Busch Gardens, and the interstates, at an attainable price. Confirm the FEMA flood zone for the exact address, inspect older homes carefully, and comp by era and condition.
