Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great conditions but so slooooow !!!
Let’s start by saying that the course is in excellent condition, beautiful very fast greens, great fairways, tees and bunkers. But the layout is just ok, no wow factor.
But the worst was the pace of play, 4 hours.and 50:minutes, waited on every shot made it for a long day, no marshall to keep the pace up. So not a good experience, I was expecting a better day of golf at Lake Jovita.
Great Layout, fast greens
Not your normal Florida course. Undulating greens combined with elevation changes throughout the course made it a fun and challenging round.
Think twice
For the price you pay $105, there should not be maintenance grews rolling the greens, working on sand traps, working on tee boxes, driving all around the course and the condition of the area around the greens is terrible. The maintenance issues speak for themselves. The condition around the greens would be compared to an un maintained round side, rocks, wash outs and holes. No one to maintain pace of play. If you just want to spend money and have 5 hours to spare for a round of golf, try it.
Nice country club atmosphere
We played the North course which was outstanding. It was very wide open with rolling hills. You just got to avoid the fairway bunkers along the way. The greens were Bermuda & super fast, which I just loved. Putting & picking a point to land your chip was a challenge. Nice practice areas were also a plus. The views were beautiful all day. My wife & I thoroughly enjoy this gem of a course.
Great course
Course In great shape and pace of play was perfect
First timer
We played a twilight round. Great fairways and greens. Challenging but not too hard for average golfers. Beautiful vistas.
Fantastic.
Greens are super fast and well manicured. Definitely worth every penny if you can get out there, it's in great shape!
Everything was perfect!
I have played Lake Jovita a number of times over the years. The course was in the best shape it has ever been in. Terrific layout.
Dina on the beverage cart was great and hustled so we saw her often. The bar restaurant had awesome food.
Strongly recommend.
This course is always a pleasure to play.
North course. What a challenge. The very rapid pace of the greens takes getting used to.
The only downside was the kitchen was closed at 4pm and we finished at 4:20. Had only a barley sandwich. Their food is excellent.
