Course Highlights
Lake Jovita's North course stands out in Florida for its rare elevation changes, rolling terrain, and consistently well-maintained fairways and greens. Friendly staff, smooth pace of play, and strong value make this a compelling destination worth the drive.

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.

Fantastic place to play

Fantastic place to play. Greens were in great shape. We had a blast. Play both courses when you get a chance. South is a harder course of the two. Enjoy and have fun.

Great Course

We got there early and no carts were available. After carrying our bags 200 yards up to the driving range we were disappointed that there were very few range balls left.

Great Course

Really enjoyed my visit to play the North Course. Course was in great shape with greens running pretty fast and true. Some lovely holes with water and trees coming into play which forced the player into certain shot shapes. Liked the use of single trees in fairway even if I twice managed to get blocked out for approach shots. Will definitely be back and am already planning a visit to play the South Course

Great course!

This was my first time at Lake Jovita. Pleasantly surprised! Teed off around noon on a Sunday as a single and cruised around without running into anyone. Course was in good shape, especially the greens which were great. Only knock on the course was that bunkers weren’t manicured so they were very hard/wet from rain. Solid test from the gold tees. Every staff member I interacted with were great and helpful. I will definitely be back.

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
