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.

North course amazing
North course was WIDE open and the fairways and greens were beautiful. Driving range had a ton of balls ready to go. 12/10 recommend.
Pin Placements
Pin Placements were ridiculous. Not one pin was in the middle of the green they are all about 3-4 paces from the fringe on ones side or the other. I love the course but need to make some of the Pin placements fair for golfers.
Peaceful
Very quiet Monday afternoon. Cool weather & breezes, mostly overcast. Greens are great; same speed as practice green, but not as severely sloped; the ball WILL stop even on a downhill putt. First time on North course; possibly a little more difficult than the South. Great routing; wide fairways; plenty of room between the course and the surrounding homes. Couple of holes have trees in the fairway - not big fan of that. Good/great design though. Nice elevation change. Variety of holes layouts. Some bunkers need work, but hey, I'm not supposed to hit it there! A little damp/muddy and thin grass in a lot of places even in the fairway. Great staff. Great carts w/ GPS.; wish they had a USB port. Only issue is that 9th hole isn't near the clubhouse; no water jugs yet; bring plenty of your own water, and snacks if you need them.
Blustery day
Nice course, although we enjoyed the south course better. The difference could have been the weather, we played on a cold windy day.
Cart girl absenteeism
Played the North course in 3 hrs, from 2-5pm, which is nice, but never saw a cart girl. How is that possible with 2 cart girls? I’m a Disabled Veteran with a heart condition, thank god nothing happened, but I was definitely dehydrated and I had a cup of water with ice and a Gatorade, which was gone by the 9th hole. As a possible future resident and possible client I was throughly disappointed. Your business is customer service, today you failed.
Happy Hoosiers
Played North course and it was great! Disappointed didn’t get chance to play south course
Always a great outing
Course in great shape. Love playing either course. Must play if your in the area.
Beautiful course
Great course, very well maintained. Staff was super friendly. Greens were extremely well kept.
Always a great round at Jovita
Played the split north tees (white/green) for the first time. I’m 67 and the white yardage is just too long. The split tees made it more fun and the slope is still high if you care for handicap difficulty. Course is in great shape.
Great Florida Courss
The course is immaculate. Fantastic greens superintendent and staff.
Good Times
Course was in great shape, greens putted true.
Played 18 holes in 3hr 15min
Cart Paths need to lead somewhere.
Wondeful layout and condition! My only real complaint is that the cart paths don't come anywhere close to the tee boxes or greens, and carts are routed to the side at least 50 yards before greens. If you hit it right of the green and the path is left, you're walking a huge distance, and sometimes you can's see just what your shot's going to be. I carried 3 wedges across the course 3 times only to find I needed a club I didn't have. If you're 20 yards short, it's a walk to and from the ball, then move the cart yet again and walk 30 yards to the green. Also, we had an 11 AM tee time in busy season and the cafe was closed when we finished.
Always a good fun round at Jovita
Played as a single with 2 foursomes in front of me. Wait was not too bad... played in 4.25 hours. North course was in great condition.
