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.

Thirsty
Great course, best around, might see beverage cart once, one course doesn't go near clubhouse on turn, needs better beverage service.
Pace of play was horrible
Played the North Course on Saturday, June 1. Course was in excellent shape. Pace of play was horrible. Took 5 hours and 10 minutes to play 18. At one point there were 3 groups on the tee box on # 6. Pro Shop was contacted and informed us they would speed up play. We saw only 1 marshal during the entire round and he did nothing. Very disappointed in the way the staff handled the situation.
Great day
Course is in perfect condition. Greens are super fast. Staff extremely freindly.
Real test from the back tees
Enjoyed playing North course with my sons. Lots of choice for tees. They played back tees and played very well......I spent most of the day watching them. Friendly staff and greet warm up facilities.
Just go.
I like this course. It's in great shape. Leave your ego at home and choose the proper tees. Big, fast greens. Anything downhill is just plain scary. Don't let that stop you.
Never Again
Stuck behind a slow 4 some. They would not let us pass and the teen age workers wore no help. Pay a little more and go to a different course. Life is tooo sort, sorry birthday tanks.
Thanks for the 5-star review!
Jovita/North
First time I played Lake Jovita. Course was in great shape and greens were very nice. I enjoyed the course and will come back.
holds its own even placed next to the South Course
if this course were alone, it would get even higher ratings, but when you are right next to the award winning south course, you will probably pale slightly. if you need a respite from the demanding shots of the south, then head over to the north and enjoy a more open and less hilly layout. still some nice elevation changes, but fairways are wider and greens more receptive. certainly not a pushover, especially when it stretches out over 7000 yds, but more playable overall.
they have a fantastic stay-n-play package, w villas directly next to the clubhouse on the 18th of the south course. this is definitely a buddy trip worthy resort!
Great value
Lake Jovita has two very good courses. Excellent conditions right now.
A good layout
The golf course is a good layout. It was breezy, so that added another layer to the challenge. I played early afternoon and I wasn't paired with anyone. Two groups let me through early and I played at a good pace.
The biggest problem is the encroachment of poa annua on the greens. I noticed area that had been worked on and I saw workers doing repairs, but it is also something that they need to get under control.
Worth the drive!
Made the drive from Orlando and was pleasantly surprised with the course.
Great shape and challenging but fair.
Enjoyed!!!
Amazing course
First time playing here. I think I now have a new favorite Florida course. Amazing layout and well kept, from clubhouse to the 18th green everything was in great shape. Greens are fast and rolling but fairways really wide open. Don't expect to shoot your lowest score of the season here but just enjoy a great round of golf on a great course.
Very impressed
Excellent course , recommend it to all golfers with some experience , i played with my wife and she also lived it. Will certainly replay very soon
