About

Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club offers two championship courses, the North and the South. Both courses sprawl across a verdant landscape covered with mature oaks, lakes, and ponds. The terrain is unusually hilly for Florida. Like the South Course, the North Course is undulating with a lot of movement but it has even greater elevation changes than the South, which provides scenic views of the surrounding community. On a clear day, golfers can see at least five miles to the northeast from the second tee. The North has a more modern layout that plays a little bit longer. Although the golf courses are nestled amongst rolling hills, Lake Jovita is situated just 30 minutes north of Tampa. The unique hilliness of the courses and their convenient location have made them some of Florida's must-play courses.

Love the course but bunkers were unplayable

Overall this is a nice course with a nice layout, however, I was surprised that all of the bunkers on the north course were full of water and you could see the tremendous ruts that were in them. I would’ve liked to of seen them pumped out and raked. Other than that it was a very enjoyable round.

JD & Dan's Review

course was in good condition, greens especially nice. Sand traps were not great with hard packed sand. Would like to come back when in better condition...

Lake Jovita North Course

The course was great. Our tee time was delayed a bit. We had to wait on the groups in front of us all day but still finished in a reasonable time. The course was fantastic. Lots of fun to play. Greens were very fast and challenging but manageable. Absolutely one of the best courses in the area. Also it is not flat and boring like most Florida courses. Highly recommended if you can get it at a reasonable price.

Excellent

A challenging yet forgiving course with fast greens and some difficult pin placements. My only complaint is the golfers who don’t repair divots and ball marks.

Great Shape- Fast Greens!

Course is in great shape. Greens we're fast, but true. The only drawback is not bathrooms on back 9.

Excellent Course

Very challenging and long layout. Greens in great shape, running extremely fast. Be below the hole or else. Staff friendly and attentive. Lots of hills for a Florida course.

Greens were firm and fast. Course in great shape overall. Make sure you save a stroke for the greens, they are very slopey

Course was challenging but not extremely hard

The North course was in very good shape for this time of year. The greens were good and challenging. They also were very fast. The whole course was in good condition and a pleasure to play. Recommend it to anyone.
