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
Good times!
Played for the first time and was a positive experience. Friendly staff at check-in, the carts were clean and well cushioned (:)), the range was clean, flat, full of grass., started on time , pace a play was great, no waiting. The course was challenging, but forgiving. A fun place to go at the pin! Overall, very positive first experience.
Great Course
Best course in the area. Fast greens
beautiful fairways. awesome layout
Great Course, time well spent !!
Had a really good time played a great course, found it challenging and rewarding at the same time. The only issue was that the range was closed so we couldn’t hit any balls which was advertised was included in our price.
Jovita Gc
We had great time and course was in great shape
Grass was green and greens were in nice shape
South COURSE
The course was in great shape. The greens were in excellent shape, running quite fast and true. The weather was perfect, 70 degrees with barely any wind to contend with. Altogether, a great day to be out playing golf on a great course.
Inconsistencies
Inconsistency with the sand traps and recovering greens, lowered my scoring the course....if this weren't the case the course would be 5 stars.
Played for $65 with a Hot Deal. Well worth the money and then some. Greeted in parking lot with bag pickup and excellent service from everyone we encountered. We played the South Course at roughly 6500 yards. The greens were very good as was the overall course condition.. Good variety of holes with more elevation change than expected. A fun and fair challenge.
