Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - South Course

I can’t believe they aloud a 5 sum and 2 of them and of course they were in front of me

This is a very nice course. One of the best in the Tampa area. Great layout on South Course. Disappointed that the greens had just been punched. They should tell you that before you make reservations. Tees and fairways were excellent.

Course is in good condition, greens were aerated about a week ago, still in good shape and still bumpy. Overall very good value for a good course.

We played the north course last weekend and loved it so we came back to play the south course and it was great too. South course seemed tougher with tighter fairways and fairway bunkers. Course was in great condition and practice area was nice. We had lunch in the clubhouse and it was good also. Pace of play was great for our group.

This south course at Lake Jovita is much different than the north. I would say that it is slightly nicer conditions wise. There was definitely less elevation change and a lot of the holes played more like a regular Florida golf course but all of the greens rolled fantastic and the grass in the fairways were in top shape. I played with a gentleman and got around in 2.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon. The course has its fair share of ups and downs which makes it fun to let a driver or fairway wood loose down a hill. Overall, I would definitely play this course again if I got a good price.

Course was great as always. Good condition, good value. Played fri afternoon so course was pretty much wide open but warmish. Had a great time.

The course is a fun layout, with good scenery. All of the employees were very helpful and eager to please. Unfortunately it has been raining a LOT in Florida this year which hampered the club somewhat, but they have done a great job mitigating its effects on the players. We had a foursome with handicaps varying from 4 to 40 and we all had a great time. The 40 handicap lost a few balls but then that’s golf.

The greens we're in good ( not great) Condition. The tee boxes had little to no grass, fairways we're like a cow paster in many areas, sand traps had water in them and others were like concrete. Half the holes were cart path only. It would have been better if the course would have been cart path, at least you could prepare for it.from club house,vno signs telling players were first hole, 10th hole, driving range. Pay $60 for a $30 course. I will never play there again.

Course was in great shape for this time of year. Less than 3hrs. Can’t ask for much more. Always love the layout on the South.,

Good test of golf. Lots of fairway bunkers make tee shot very important. Undulating greens are a challenge. Very nice course.

I like the place. Greens were punched a week or 2 ago, still healing but almost there. A few spots in the fairways where the grass was a bit sparse. Traps could use some fluffing up, they were pretty packed down. All in all, still a good place play 18.

Course in a rough shape right now due to lack of rain the last few weeks. Several burnt out fairways, and slower greens than what the course is known for. May need a few weeks to let it bounce back

I’ve played this South Course several times now, and honestly I’m not sure why I don’t play it more often. With the few areas of Florida that have rolling hills this corse has views that will amaze you. Tee to green it’s beautiful. . Land your drive in the fairway and you’ll be sitting on carpet, perfect for your approach to the multi tiered greens which you’ll want to know where to Put your ball, otherwise making a 2 putt will be a challenge.

Though this course on the map looks a ways out of town, it’s very quick and easy to get to. Arrive early for 2 reasons, it may take a couple of minutes to get through the guarded entrance, and you’ll want to warm up at their elevated driving range. It’ll make you fell good about how well you’re hitting the ball. .I’ll be back for sure! See ya out there!

Lovely course which was in good condition. Greens rolled really good and very true. Only down side was that some bunkers were compact and needed more sand. Other than that we had a very enjoyable day

I played the South course-18 and also the front 9 of the North course. Both in excellent condition! South course is the best course I’ve ever played. Challenging, but with the conditions being so pristine, I played some really good golf. The elevations are incredible. Both South and North are awesome! I’ll be back!

actually played the original (south) course the first year it opened - 20 years ago, and just returned for the first time since. lots more houses, and a mature course has aged beautifully! elevation changes rarely seen anywhere else in FL. this is a PGA caliber track (Tom Petrovic won here in 2005). conditions are perfect - very large greens mean 3 putts will be the norm if you don't find the right spot to land your approach shots.

can't say enough about the quality of the shotmaking required and the rewards given when you strike it pure. worth the drive for a full say on both courses (north course reviewed separately)

Nasty first hole. Driving range was closed. Ouch. And no ball washers. Most par 3s pretty long. Fast greens. I'll be back.

A true jewel in state of Florida. All around everything on and off course perfect.
