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.

Great round on north course

Perfect day, weather outstanding.Played in a little over 3 hours.Course was in great shape, bunkers have been worked on.Cart girl was out and available.It seems to me an effort is being made to get course back to the way it use to be. All staff was friendly.

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

always an enjoyable course to play, fair yet challenging. Greens will make you work but roll true and good speed. Course in very nice shape, well maintained with the exception of a few fairway bunkers that needed a lot more attention.

Great layout, average condition, SLOW pace.

Could be a great golf course, but my guess is the owners spend the least amount of money possible. Nice undulating fairways with many elevation changes and very good visual lines off the tee, except 18 North. Condition was average. The bunkers haven't been touched in half a year, grass growing in them. Even with the Covid situation, should be better than this. It was Sat late morning/early afternoon and it was a 5 hour round! No Marshall. Cart girls were nice and saw them twice a side. If they put some money into this course, it could be great!
