Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - South Course

Beautiful scenery. Enjoyed playing here. It was my first time and I was blown away with how beautiful it was. Definitely want to play here again.

Everything was great from the employee's to the course to the practice range. I will be playing there more. I've played a lot diff expensive courses but by far Jovita has the friendliest staff.

It had been 5 years or so since I'd been here, and it was worth the wait. We played the south course-my opinion, the better of the two. The greens had been aerated a few weeks back but have healed nicely. They rolled great even though you can still see a few scars. In another 2 weeks they should be tour quality. The elevation changes make for some great views that are hard to find in Florida.
If you can get a price under $50 to play here, buy it! You won't be disappointed!

Great course. used every club in my bag. Great terrain for florida. Great greens. Great course design. Actually has elevation changes.

Played both courses in same day. Great layouts and views. South is tighter for sure, but North had more elevation changes. Conditions were spotty with quite a few greens having bare spots as well as fairways. $55 we paid for each round was high based on conditions, but highly recommend both courses as both are a must play.

greens are really good, pretty fast for this area and well maintained.
both north and south courses are beautiful with completely different layouts. North is more wide open and south is more difficult but a good and fair test. Both courses have some great signature holes with amazing elevation changes for being in central florida. Great value for two quality courses.

Course not how it was portrayed. Pace terrible, no marshals moving people along. Greens fair. Traps horrible? Fairways fair at best. Poor value for price. Mgmt quite proud of their course. Would never spend that money to play again. Worth half of what they charge. Even members were complaining

Played the South Course. As a single and not being paired with anyone, I found the first hole to be a bit confusing as I wasn't sure exactly where the green was. Hint: The hole bends to the left. I found the course to be interesting and challenging, really no complaints. The South has more elevation changes than the North, which I played a couple of days earlier. I enjoyed both courses and would recommend both to traveling golfers. Also, the North is not a "weak sister". It is a very good course also, just different in character from the South.

4/5 *'s in my opinion. Albeit, I'm a golfing novice so don't put much precedence in what I have to say. The staff was really knowledgeable and friendly which goes a long way with me. IMO for the money, there should be either computers on the carts or keys at the tees outlining the hole.

Played the South course. Course layout is wonderful but course condition was terrible! No grass in the fairways or roughs, no sand in any bunker (all mud!) and greens, though very fast, had lots of bare spots. Definitely not worth the $80 they charged. Will not be going back.

This course has a combination of good holes and challenging ones as well. There's enough to keep our attention. The condition of tee boxes and some greens left me feeling a bit cheated. Pace of play was ok, but to put a single in between a string of twosomes was interesting. I don't think we paid as much for the round as much as we paid for the 'privacy' that I had just playing with my partner. In the end , it didn't excite me enough to return...unfortunately. Sorry.

Staff was extremely pleasant and the starter was no exception. Greens were OK but the sand bunkers were horrendous. Will wait to hear of improvements before I return

First time playing the course. Beautiful track! Can't wait to go back.

I have played a lot of courses in the Tampa area and found this to be a very high priced course for the condition compared to others. We did have fun playing the courses but still the cost was a turn off

Great course. If you can play in the rain, you will have the course to yourself.

I would recommend this golf club to anyone looking to play a round of golf in the greater tampa area - it will not disappoint.

Fine course and not typical for Florida golf.....lots of elevation change and woods come into play on many holds. Wet conditions so it played long...consider moving up a tee if you incounter similiar conditions.

Friendly staff. Very fast greens and water and trees coming to play on every hole. Very difficult course with great risk/reward shots. Overall great test of golf.

Great course as usual. Stopped at the snack bar at1:00 for a hot dog. We were told that it would be 30 plus minutes before any would be ready. The cart girl came by twice and only had diet drinks. We asked why she said they told her it would be a light day. For what it cost to play it was pathedic. Other than that still a great place.

Visiting from Virginia, looking for courses out of the ordinary, this was on the okay list. Nothing to write home about.
