Golfland Resub is a recorded resubdivision plat within the Forest Hills neighborhood of north Tampa, ZIP 33612, Hillsborough County. The neighborhood wraps directly around the city-owned Babe Zaharias Golf Course, a public 18-hole, par-70 course that has served the community since the city took it over in 1974 (Wikipedia, Forest Hills Tampa). Streets carry golf-themed names, Divot Lane, Fore Drive, St Andrews Drive, Waterhole Place, and Edgewater Lane, making the plat easy to distinguish from the broader Forest Hills area.
The housing stock is established single-family homes, predominantly solid block and brick ranch construction from the 1950s through the 1980s, with some larger custom homes rebuilt or added more recently. Many homes sit on oversized lots and enjoy direct or near-direct views of the golf course. There is no mandatory HOA and no CDD in this plat (MLS listings, Tampa Bay Premier Realty, 2024 to 2026), which is a standout attribute in the Tampa market.
The city completed a major renovation of all 18 greens and the practice putting green at Babe Zaharias in September 2024, installing new TifEagle greens and greenside bunkers, reinforcing the course as a public amenity that anchors neighborhood value (City of Tampa, September 2024). The Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, formed in 2002, actively works to preserve the course and the neighborhood character.
The location is convenient: I-275 forms Forest Hills' eastern border, putting downtown Tampa about 20 minutes south and Tampa International Airport about 25 minutes. The Busch Gardens Tampa Bay amusement park is roughly 3 miles east, and the Florida Avenue corridor provides retail and dining nearby. The trade-off is older housing stock requiring honest condition review, and parcel-level flood homework particularly important after Hurricane Milton in October 2024 brought more than a foot of rain to the community (Bay News 9, September 2025).
