Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - South Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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
Great course and in great shape
The greens were very smooth and fast. Enjoyed a beautiful fall day on the course!
Love this course
Good condition. They’re working on the bunkers to get them back in shape after all our heavy rain.
Great course
Course is in great shape after all the rain we’ve had. Bunkers we’re washed out or holding water. But greens and fairways were nice.
Great course
Decided to give this place a try & I'll def be back. A lot of elavation on the entire course. Greens rolled true. Had an hr delay between 9s for a storm that rolled through. Went out & was nothing but sunshine. The back was cart path only after the rain but still had a good time. Will def be back again to hopefully play a dry round.
Always a challenge
Course in pretty good shape. A few patchy areas in the fairway, but nothing to affect ball striking. Greens were fast and true
Rough parch
I have played this course many times. I love the layout. The good news is the greens are good. The bad news is the rest of the golf course is in tough shape. The fairways are wet and being seeded but they need it because there isn’t a lot of grass . The bunkers are in horrible shape ...... virtually unplayable except for the fact that right now you can lift , clean and place. Lastly, they are currently fertilizing the entire course so it smells like a ripe barnyard....... which is great when the feels like temperature is north of 100 degrees. Good luck !
Great Course
Greens were fast and in great condition. Fairway and Tee boxes were pretty good. Some needed work but overall good. Played the South course. Want to come back and play the North course.
Great staff
Great staff and awesome carts with gps and Bluetooth speakers
