Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course
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.

Jovita
Top end course. Wide open today , nice greens and fairways. One day of heavy rain last week and bunkers were trashed. Standing water in some and sand was like glue. Are great fairway bunkers on 16 being abandoned? They are filling with weeds. A “go to” course for me when I can get it(drive an hour) but yesterday I was very concerned about lack of attention to the traps.. perhaps it is forthcoming soon
Great course
The course is in great shape as usual many of the bunkers do not have sand are not maintained and have weeds growing in them Green side bunkers seem to be okay
Recommended
Course layout was great. Wide fairways and greens were holding on approach shots. I will definitely be back to this course in the near future.
North Course
The course was challenging and absolutely gorgeous and fun would love to play it again I actually can’t wait till I can play it again looking forward to playing the South course as well
Guy

Rachel provided great service on the beverage cart.
Bring in High Noon seltzer’s
Great course
I love the layout. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. The only negative was condition of the bunkers.
Lil wet
My favorite course in Tampa area. Great shape for this time of year just a little wet. Cart path only a couple holes. I prefer north course layout to this one but both are great!
Didn't finish
Great course, played front 9 in 1.5 hours, 2.5 hours for next 5 holes, gave up. Our trip, an hour each way makes this a course not worth driving to.
Greens are slicking up-maybe an 11
Greens are almost back, rolling close to 11/12, I would guess, yes lightening quick. Almost rolling true, punched 3 weeks ago, light punch. Great pace of play and I enjoy the layout.
Outstanding course condition!
Looking to pay a course in superb condition? Pace of play was due only to a lot of people playing. Being a single there was no where to go.
Good food and drink in club house.
In good condition
Small punched 3 weeks ago. Course is in pretty good condition. Most greens are rolling nice. Tee boxes were shaggy today. Worth the drive
