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.

Nice course worht the drive from Orlando
Course always in nice conditions with goof fairways and true greens. A slight disappointment was they did not provide free range balls like previous years we played here.
It’s a nice course.
I thought the course would have been in better condition by now. I don’t understand why a country club does not have any ball washers on the carts or tee boxes.
a hidden gem
Generous fairways with ample room for driving and 15 holes with a straightforward layout so you know exactly what is required. There is bunkering that comes into play for wayward shots and a few choice trees. Fast greens with fair sloping large enough to hit. this is well worth the drive.
Wide Open but Challenging
Lake Jovita North course offers great golf. The fairways are wide, the greens large and somewhat fast, and the views are excellent, with a bit of elevation for a Florida course. Be aware of the sand, and uneven lies. Sodas are expensive @ $4, but everything else is superb.
Horrible
Played 9 holes in over 3 plus hours. No ranger and at times 6 groups on a hole. Pace of play i rated 1 poor because there is no lower rating. I believe at least 4 groups came in complaining. Very poorly run and managed. STAY AWAY from there not worth any price. Would not go back even if offered a free round, keep it and hire new management and rangers.
Poor Pace of Play / Poor Customer Service
Course we clearly overbooked. Started just before 1:00 PM and took 3 hours to finish nine holes. We called the club house who informed us that a ranger was out there however, we never saw a ranger. We walked off the course along with group behind us. The individuals working the club house would not offer any rain checks because we booked online. Regardless of how you book your tee time it's the courses responsibility to control the number of players and pace of play. They did neither and did not care.
Need to grow grass!
Great layout and potential but fairway conditions are terrible. Why dont they grow grass...impossible to get clean contact. Won't return here until the condition improves.
Terrible course management
Booked the round through Golfnow and got a good deal at 12:24 pm. Was paired with a twosome and the three of us started the round a few minutes before our tee time. However, we ended up playing for almost 5 1/2 hours. There was no ranger on the course at any time keeping pace of play, no water or adequate ice at the comfort stations, and the cart girl came around only twice in those five plus hours. In addition, two groups of threesome members ahead of us decided to pair up to make a six-some and there was nobody around to address this.
The course boasts about the country club feel but apparently is in need of public money to keep afloat. You will not get my money ever again - terrible course management - shameful pace of play and poor on-course conditions.
Great Course
One of the best I’ve playrd in the Orlando area. Layout was great. If you are playing multiple rounds in a week you must put this one on the list.
Great course hope to play one more time before going north
Wonderful Course
The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is that there are no ball washers and very little trash containers. What a beautiful course, congrats, and I hope to be back soon!!!
Outstanding
Outstanding conditioned course. Pace of play was excellent. Course had a challenging layout with elevated tees and elevated greens. I would recommend this course to anyone and this course is suitable to hold a tournament.
Bring your “A game”
Just a beautiful day. Everything was so very nice how ever the pace of play was not that great but hey it’s a weekend so that’s when everyone comes out.
Jolly good coutse
Driving range stations too close together heard many folks complain. Spotty fairways but dormant season. When in Tampa area always like to play North more than South course
Lake Jovita-you get what you expect
The course is in very good shape for the time of year. Greens are pure and fast. Fairways are tight as grass is yet dormant. Rough is dry and dormant also. Did play as a 3some and done in 4 hrs as course had a good pace. Did get a hot time so value for what you get is very good. We did play north course, I like the south better yet
1 hour and 20 minutes to play 3 holes
Tried to play on 1/27/18. Came to course and discovered GolfChannel AM Tour event there that day. Took 1 hour and 20 minutes to play 3 holes. Drove up to 4th tee and two groups still waiting in front of us. Went in and got rain check. Not much of an apology from Pro Shop. Place seemed pretty overwhelmed by the event there. Too bad, looked like nice course, but worse pace of play ever experience.
