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 dy at Jovita

Pro shop let us go 45 minutes early on the south course. We were booked on the north course. This was something they did not have to do . It saved us at least 45 minutes, we really appreciated it. Course is in great shape from tee to green.Always enjoy Jovita from start to finish. Will be back!!

Great course with excellent layout

This was the first time playing this course and I must stay it was in stellar shape. The bunkers were water logged in places but you were allowed relief if you found one. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and rough were all in great shape. If I wasn’t stuck behind a foursome I would have played in less than 2:30 hours.

Don't bother

Very nice mid range price course. BUT our round was derailed by the grounds crew. Very first hole mowers right in the middle of the fairway disrupting tee shots & second shots. Then while on greens 1 & 2 mowers very close the greens as we were putting. Again on 3 fairway a worker on a utility cart doing something in the fairway. At the prices they charge here this should never happen.

The members there defintely don't like that this course is public. Not my fault you don't pay enough to keep it private. For $35 bucks it was a great deal, even if you dont make any friends while you're out there.

Terrible Service

With the heat index today in the 100’s you’d think it would be responsible to have a beverage cart service that you would see at least once in the first 13 holes. Or plentiful drinking water on the course as most courses do in FL. When we finally found her it took her forever finalize our order and slowed the round down even more. There was also no communication of where there would be water out on the course. When we did find it. It was warm. The pace of play the entire round was awful .There wasn’t a single ranger on the course pushing people along. You had hacks waiting for the Greens to clear on 300 yard approach shots on par 5’s and then chunking it 80 yards. The course overall was great and the layout is tremendous as it always is. The service after the round in the clubhouse was even more atrocious. We had to go up behind the bar to get our own menus after being seated by Connor (who was great btw.) our server finally was found by Connor who came out of the kitchen with a plate of food of his own and eating in front of the guests. We had to get his attention to put our orders in before he even acknowledged our presence. At this point we paid as fast as we could and couldn’t wait to get out of there. I won’t be coming back here anytime soon.

sand traps need to be worked on

The North Course should have a cart girl going around at least 4times since you don't see the clubhouse until your done with 18 holes.On a hot day like today we only seen her once and her beverage wasn't even stocked.The sand traps are pitiful they need more sand in them.The greens were aerified three weeks ago and they are still bumpy

Punched

One of my favorite courses in the area. It doesn't state it on here, The North course was recently punched but still playes well. Still need some work on those bunkers around the course. Draining issues and hard dirt make for bad bunkers. Need some better sand in them. Overall, The layout of the course is great for any level of golfer. Staff is helpful and friendly to all.
