Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course

Always a treat to play LJ North. Very good shot values on a well conditioned golf course. It's one that I play several times during my winter stay in Florida and I'm never disappointed.

Changes in elevation were the highlights of my experience; which could not be distracted by the 5-some (members) that Jack the starter had in front of us or the 4-some of members in individual carts that hit into us on the last 3 holes (our pace of play was 3:50) could detract from. I'd definitely would play again at that price but not more than that. Greens were around 11 and the Bermuda rough was...ouch!

Great private course but the fairways were somewhat thin and the greens bordered on unfair...bottom line, booked and play a round for yourself...

This facility is loaded with great potential but lacks basic maintenance of the grounds. Although the on course conditions are slightly above average, the surrounding grounds are full of weeds, the cart paths are in terrible condition and the practice facilities are in horrible condition for such a beautiful piece of property. It is obvious that major investment will be required before this gem can return to it's glory days.

Great course. The pace was slow, we waited on every hole, 4 hrs. 45 min. to play.

The driving range has no grass, but the course is great!!! Large fast greens make it a great day on the golf course.

We booked the North course 4 days in advance of playing. We booked an early tee time as we were catching a flight home later in the day. We gave ourselves plenty of time to leave, clean up and catch our flight, or so we thought. We arrived for our 10:27 tee time to be told that due to a tournament there weren’t any carts available.

We waited until 10 minutes past our time to get our carts. Upon arriving at the starter we were than told that they were running a minimum 30 minutes behind. This was at almost 10:40. We told them we had to leave at a certain time only to be met by a shrug. I went back to the pro shop and was met by “there isn’t anything we can do.” We drove back to the starters stand and he wasn’t there so we drove through to the first tee where we met the starter half way back. It turns out we inadvertently bypassed four groups that were waiting on the tee and this was 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time.

We later found out that due to a clerical error they had booked a 150 man tournament but we’re a week out on the date! How this happens is beyond me!! They then decided to transfer everyone from the south course on to the North course causing major delays. From what we understood they had discovered this a few days before. Instead of contacting us and explaining the situation and giving us the option of not playing or finding another course to play, we were herded like cattle with no options.

What should have been a 4 hr round with lots of time to get to the airport, turned into a 6 hr round and a mad rush to the airport.

The course itself was in fantastic shape and under different circumstances would have been a treat to play but the treatment we received left a sour taste in our mouths and we will likely not return!

On the plus side our cart girl Tiffany was a bright spot on an otherwise dreary day!!!! She was the only reason we kept our sanity for the entirety of our round! Thank you Tiffany!

Always a joy to play, course conditions were perfect , great shape!!!!! North course.

Greens are true and fast .

Everyone we came in contact with at the course welcomed us. Course was in great shape and quite challenging!

Still one of my favorite courses around. Great lay out and very fair. Tees are fair as well. Pick your poison for distance.

Played a 3hr+ round as a twosome. Tees, fairways and greens are in fabulous shape. Played a hot-deal rate that made it even better.

ALL the sand traps were in horrible condition and unraked and weedy. No rakes at all. Told later that the locals play it is possible or take relief behind the trap.It appears the the priority is the South course damaged in IRMA.

Lake Javida north course is beautiful and challenging. You got to go play this one.

from the time i entered the pro shop to the time my foursome finished lunch it was a wonderful experience. the starter got us out a little early after we hit a free bag of golf balls and tested the putting greens. some of the holes offer a panoramic view of the surrounding counties and the various elevation changes were a pleasant change from most of the flat florida courses we had been playing. the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape and the numerous sand traps were strategically

placed . the greens were multi level, undulating and fast. bring your "A" game. after the round we had lunch in the clubhouse, everyone had something different and we were all very happy as we left this course. if you don't try the chili you are missing out. we can't wait to play here again.

This course was in fabulous condition fairways were green no trimmings on the ground. The greens were in great shape for being in the middle of summer. I would recommend this course to all of my friends. Hope to go again soon.

The course was in excellent shape from the well manicured fairways to the quick and true rolling greens. Only negative was the round took almost 5 hours to complete.

Cranky old golfers yell at you for anything you do that they don't like.

Liked the layout, they had just aerated the greens which was about the only bad thing
