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.

Too big for their knickers

I used to love playing Lake Jovita. Around a year and a half ago, new management came in a jacked up the prices. I used to play there 2-3 times a month. Now I play there 5-6 times a year. They’ve become too expensive. I bet their rounds this past year have went down when every other golf course’s I’ve played, their rounds have went up due to COVID. What a shame. It’s a drive to get here too. If you’re going to drive, I’d recommend going to Fox Hollow or Eaglebrooke in Lakeland. If you have to make a drive to play some good golf, you might as well drive somewhere where it doesn’t cost you an arms be a leg.

Very Nice Day!

I thoroughly enjoyed played Lake Jovita - North course for my first time! I got lucky and was paired up with a good golfer and very nice person. We did get to ride in separate carts without an extra charge (even though there is apparently suppose to be one for $20), but we were told by course employees that were playing behind us that we should not have been able to do so. If I were forced to ride with an unknown player or had to pay extra to ride separate, I would have not played!

As for the course it is a very nice layout, and was in very good condition. I am looking forward to getting back there to try the south course.

Cool day great track

The course is in nice shape and the greens are rolling very quick. Took almost 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon which was unfortunate. The only gripe was the GPS not working Correctly with pin position placements.

Hope to return soon!

Very nice course

We played the North course which is fairly open but still plenty interesting with bunker placements and sloping greens. The course is very soft due to recent rains
