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

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.

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.
