Although it is tucked away among rolling green hills and mature oaks, Lake Jovita Country Golf & Country Club is conveniently less than 30 minutes north of Tampa. The club offers two championship golf courses, the North and the South. The South Course, the original track at Lake Jovita, has a more traditional design than the other course. It features generous fairways and velvety-smooth greens. The layout weaves through lakes and ponds that into play on several holes. The course was built to fully utilize the hilly terrain, incorporating a variety of elevation changes throughout. The par-5 11th hole even features a 94-foot drop from tee to green, which is the largest natural elevation change in the entire state. It is one of Florida's "must-play" courses

Lines on the greens after being punched. Difficult to putt with these grabbing the ball as it rolled into them. Photo submitted by bvmagic on 05/30/2016

Beautifully laid out in golf course with great conditions
After playing this one other time last year, we went back to the South course. it was a Monday and play was incredibly quick. Had the course to ourselves for a while. This is one of the best courses I've played on the west coast of Florida and using a golf now app were able to play for the low price of $55 a man including cart ..which had GPS to the pin measurements
everyone was super friendly and I will be back despite the one hour drive from where I live during season.

Quality Course
Course always a challenge no matter what tees are used. The greens were in excellent condition and fast. A poor read can leave you 4ft past the hole. Get to use a majority of your clubs
