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.

Course in great shape
Course in great shape
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
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.
1st Timer
This was my first outing at The North Course. it was a noon time Hot-Deal. Incredible value. Course was Beautiful. Greens were fast. Great course condition. If you have never played here, Why Not??
You members get it.
Thank You - extremely enjoyable
Pleasant
Nice course layout very pleasant surroundings excellent course enjoyed it very much I will return
I left a review for.this 17th ranklon fb
What a treat. N
Told my Facebook friends in a top 100 course group I am on that this #16 ranked course near Dade city was fantastic. Grea ty layout
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.
