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.

Jovita
Absolutely love going here. Had to wait for carts but well worth the wait. Big greens and testy putts. They honestly ate me up but going from the local course to something this prestine is a big change. Recommend!!!!!
Upscale Gated Community country club golf.
Huge in every way. Holes for the most part have great separation. The fairways and greens are immense and trouble is hard to find unless you really spray the ball. Greens were very fast and most were immaculate. Putts from above the hole or with significant side hill break either go in or finish 6-8 feet from the hole. There are a few areas that could be improved such as weed infestation on some greens and the quality of sand in the bunkers. There were a few wash-out areas from recent rains. The homes located on the course are also huge and are well back so as not to be in play. The house to the left of # 18 North looks like it should be a hotel !!
Overall a good day and GolfNow provides rates that are manageable.
Great course
South and North are both a must play. Two different layouts, both in great condition
Tip top shape
They employees are standing by the rules. All the carts are disinfected, spray bottles of disinfectant on every hole, the course is in A-1 condition. There are groundskeepers working on the whole course everyday.
The north course is great
Some like the South course better but I think that they are both great I took 3 people that had never played there and they were very impress.. This course should be on your list to play when your in the Tampa/Westly Chappal
area A great course (both )
North course excellent
Course was in great shape, greens held approach shots and rolled great! They had a hand sanitizer spray bottle on each hole. Highly recommend the course!!!
Played a several times and always enjoy it. Course always in great condition, tee blocks, fairways, rough, and greens. Staff always very friendly and helpful. Very nice layout that is challenging and fair, especially if you select the proper tee blocks for your game. Will be back!!!
Great Course
Really nice layout with opportunities to hit all of your clubs in the bag. The traps need some white sand.
Pleasant Surprise
Course gave us the option of going out on the South Jovita instead of North Jovita. Although we like the North better, it was a nice change to golf the South. Course was in good shape and greens were fast and true. We will golf theNorth tomorrow.
Wonderful round
The course was in great shape and very enjoyable. The greens were nice but a little fast. The pace was perfect we played in 4 hours. The only criticism is their beverage cart service is poor.
Great course
I have played several courses in area and this course has always been in above average condition for the season. I Also enjoy my game!
This course makes for a enjoyable round of golf!
The elevation changes on North course make for challenging shots. Makes for a fun day of golf.
Most BEAUTIFUL course I've played!
Most BEAUTIFUL course I've played! Something straight from a magazine.
Always in great shape
North Course
Used my golfnow plus rewards code, so the round was free.
At check in the guy said I owed 50$ for the round, but after I told him it should be pre paid, he said yeah, I see it now so not sure what that was about. Booked as a single but they said I'd be paired with others which is fine. The starter said if I wanted I could start at the 11th hole, and that I would be out ahead of the scramble that was starting and that worked out. Played in just over 2 hours until the last few holes.
Tees, fairways, and greens were all fine. Greens rolled smooth and fast. The layout is great, with great views and plenty of elevation changes.
A bit pricey in season but still it's a great course that never disappoints.
