Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course

Beautiful course, nearly perfect lightning fast greens.

I come from NJ to visit FL once or twice a year for the past three years, and each time I visit the Tampa area, I make sure to make the trip up to Lake Jovita to play the North course. Unlike most FL courses which are flat and the only interesting topography involves water, Lake Jovita North actually has elevation changes, tree lined areas, slope, and just a visually appealing architecture. Add in a little challenging length, and this course is more than worth the reasonable price tag. And I’ve always found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. Not the best choices with food during a round, but that’s the least of my concerns when golfing. I’d recommend the course for anyone looking for a well maintained course that offers something a little different for FL.

I have previously played this course and have had a great time every round I have played. The more I play the more I notice about it. One flaw that I noted about this course yesterday was that there are no ball washers. i know this may sound like an odd complaint and maybe I was just missing them but this was sort of off putting. Overall the course was in great playing shape and the greens rolled lightning fast.

I thoroughly enjoyed my game but pace of play was slow. The day after Thanksgiving may be the reason.

We also had to change carts toward the end of the game as ours was dying. This has happened to us before. They need to address the cart situation.

Play the forward tees course is rather long lots of water the greens were in lightning fast but overall I really enjoyed playing the course

Fantastic course. T boxes ,fairways, greens are perfect.

And greens are FAAST!

Played the North course and it's in great shape. Rye has come in well in the fairways. Greens are very fast and rolling well. I've played this course at least 50 times and this is the best overall condition I've experienced here. Compares very favorably, if not better, than all the other high end courses in the area.

If you've never played here, not your typically flat course as is the norm in the Tampa area. Lots of rolling hills (small), non-flat lies. Depending on pin locations, can have upwards of 8-10 foot breaks on putts.

My wife & I played the North Course for the 2nd time today (1st Time was 2 years ago) and again enjoyed ourselves. The Course was in good condition although a little damp in places and the greens were very good. The staff were very friendly & helpful. We will definitely play here again and hope to try the South Course.

I have played this course several times now, and have always enjoyed it. The course is in great shape now, with the overseeding having grown in. I think the fellow setting the pins today must have got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning- pins were tough, in sloping areas of the greens, making it almost impossible to leave the ball close to the hole. Good for tournament play, but greens fee players? Takes us over an hour to get there, we will be back.

Greens rolled true at 11 or 12. Course in great condition for a pro tournament tomorrow. Fairways and tee boxes winterized with rye for great play this winter. Always a great place to play a round.

Loves Lake Jovita! Played north course, greens are excellent. Overseeding fairways had us walking to and from cart some but fairway conditions also excellent. I highly recommend playing this course if you have the opportunity.

I would love to play this course when it is dry and firm. It is a good layout to utilize the ground more and look forward to playing it again

Both the north and south courses are great. Highly recommend. They recently over seeded so I only rated condition a 4.... closer to 4.5 and coming back nicely. The north layout is a bit longer and much different than the south. Hills and elevation. Quick sloping greens. Plays well for all handicaps.

Pace of play was poor. Couldn't get a rhythm going.
