Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course

I loved this course. You absolutely had to think your way around the whole place, and I enjoyed it. The conditions were fantastic.

Pace of play was just average, but I think we were behind a very large group, so I wasn't too worried about it (the guys I was playing with were very frustrated though).

One weird thing is I tried to hit the range before my round, but was told it was closed for maintenance. Not a huge deal, but when I drove up to the practice green, there was a college team that was all hitting balls on the range. Not the biggest deal, but clearly there was no maintenance being done on it, so I'm not sure why I wasn't allowed to hit balls too.

I'm writing this off as a one-off weird situation though because I absolutely intend to be back.

Awesome, great layout love the hills, greens were fast and you better think before you putt..

First time here. Was on a hot deal so I'm sure I saved a bundle. Only problem was getting food. Called ahead and was told that getting lunch would be no problem. WRONG! If you want to dine upstairs it takes forever!! I think they are way understaffed! PLUS - $7 for a hot dog? Eat before you get here!!!!

The course itself is great. Guy in pro shop was very helpful!

It was our first time on the North Course having played the South Course multiple times. The course is very challenging but not tricked up. It requires you to think out and plan each shot. We will definitely play it again.

This was the nicest course we've played yet. Definitely worth playing. The staff was super friendly.

course is in great shape greens very fast very nice day

Great lay out with plenty of challenges, warning to all that #1 is a tough par 4 that can challenge the best shot maker. My group enjoyed every hole, the greens are challengirng with subtle unjations. Seen lots of birds and a couple small alligators. Go play it!

I love this course!! Long course but fairways are wide open . Big hitters will be love this one . Greens will make u " nuts " . Please read those green or they will punish u.

Great day, awesome weather, greens rolling nice. I would recommend this course, for the price there is not a better deal around.

As a first time player I and my friends were quite pleased with our experience. We played after lunch with no delays. The variety of holes made for an interesting round. We were surprised by the hills and valleys as well as close cut fairways . Greens were fast but true. We plan on making future trips

To Lake Jovita.

Green's rolled great but had numerous diseases and wild grass growing. North front 9 fairways lacked grass creating bad lies with excessive dirt spots and back was slightly better but also needs attention. Course design outstanding especially challenging greens. Staff lacks customer relations skills but in their defense were focusing on members. Experience on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best would be a 4 below average. No plans to play in the future many better options.

We play this course nearly every year in our annual golf vacation in January, This course was is great shape. The greens were probably the fastest that we played during the week. Very nice layout. Some good challenging holes. Most fairways are generous. The only ding is that we didn't see the beverage cart but once the whole round and that was on #9.

I bought a round here for my wife's birthday and as we drove in, we were impressed by the homes, the clubhouse, all was "country club atmosphere". We had each spent over 30 years in the golf business, so we know what we're talking about.

They seemed to have a cart person ride out petiodically to greet and load up arrivals. Unfortunately, none came out for us, but we went to the shop, got the cart and got ready to go.

With the exception of the TV going, the pro shop might be confused with a library. No conversation at all and the 2 guys behind the counter were busy concentrating on their computer screens. I walked to the counter, silence. I gave my name and teetime, silence. I was wordlessly given a receipt, then back to the screens. No "How are you today?", "Have you played here before?", or "Would you like some practice balls to warm up?". Crickets.

I then asked if they sold golf socks. "Over ther, left of the TV". He speaks! "$12.84" . "Sign here". That was it.

After some wandering around and following gestures from others, we found the starter and started our round. I have to say this is one fine course. Smooth, fast greens that would hold shots and all well manicured. Unfortunately we were behind a foursome of people who could barely walk so we were 5 to 10 minutes between shots. These were folks with little blue flags allowing them to pull their cart right to the edge of the green, from which they would shuffle to their ball, and eventually to the hole, then back to the cart. Thankfully they quit after 9 and the back was smooth sailing.

We were 3 hours on the front and 1.5 on the back. All and all we enjoyed the course but, personally, I would fire the staff.

Thoughtfully placed bunkers, greens in great shape, fairways a bit spotty in places but otherwise great. Loved the rolling hills and the very nice staff. Definitely recommend. Get a hot deal to make more reasonable.
