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.

West FL Pro
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.
Best course for a player in area
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.
A bit wet
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
Best in Dade City area
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.
Scenic
Pace of play was poor. Couldn't get a rhythm going.
One of the best public courses in TPA area
North course is that good good! Open holes, great condition, besides the plugged greens... but this is one of the best around.
A Must Play Course....
First time playing the “North” course and I had a great time. The course was fun and challenging at the same time. The course was in excellent condition. The greens were running “true” which make it fun and frustrating at times. Overall, I had a great time and look forward in coming back to play.
Wide open spaces
Nice course, greens were fast and true. Not your usual flat Florida course. Plenty of room to take a full swing and a fair course where it is possible to score well.
A Lovely, Challenging Course
Lake Jovita North, With its wide fairways, undulating fairways, and a bit of elevation presents a pleasant challenge for most golfers. It has just enough water to make you nervous but overall a lovely designed layout. One of the best courses in the Tampa Bay area.
Serious issues
A return to the facilty by the son of the owner has produced predictable results. Weeds infest the fairways and the landing area on 18 is mostly dirt. Some bunkers are not maintained at all.Not so honorable son does not care,he has stated such,and that a jewel in the area is being run down and that play will suffer as a result.The course needs new ownership by someone who has a sense of pride and honors the game rather than greed for more money from golfers. Truly worth only $35 to play,
Player player
The course need some work. This was the worse condition I have ever seen this course.
Best in pasco
If anyone says different they are insane. World woods can’t hold their shoes
Great Layout Horrible Condition
Such a shame. Bare spots everywhere. Approach to just about every hole was bare. Sparse grass on fairways and rough. Exceptional layout. Conditions look like a poor municipal course. Shabby greens.
No way to get food at the turn
Nice course with a fun layout. Fairways were in nice shape. Some bunkers need work. Greens were erated and not very true. Made it difficult to putt well. After the first 9 holes on the North course there was no place to get a drink or food. 10th tee box does not go anywhere near the clubhouse. Would have been nice to get a drink with the weather being in the mid 90's
