Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course

Staff picked up my bag in parking lot

Cart ladies always smiling and readily available

Great pace of play

Course was in good condition. Very fast greens. Difficult to get close to pins. Challenging pin positions. Bring your A game.

we were told we would be paired up with another couple
after waiting we were told to head out as a 2some
after a few holes we ran into a 5some of members with their own carts
after skipping them a little while later we ran into another 5some of members
we then left

We played the North Course, which was one of the finest courses I've ever played. We played on a Monday and had the course to our selves, so we took our time, which led to a 5 hour round.

The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were beautiful. The rolling hills and elevated tee boxes were unlike so many of the local courses. The fairways were fast with great extra roll added on to your drives. The greens were like greased lightning requiring a soft touch. The course offers a nice variety of holes. On some you are teeing off 600 ft above the fairway, then on another you're shooting over a water/tall grass hazard with a 40 yard opening between the trees. Then the next hole is a long wide open par 5 fairway with rolling hills and emerald grass. And another hole is in a majestic wooded area you cross a bridge to get to and with wildlife making thier noises. The course is a challenge that any golfer would enjoy.

One thing I found really enjoyable and a nice touch was a large ice & water machine at the bathroom in the middle of the course. I was able to refill my cooler with ice,

The regular price to golf at Lake Jovita is a little high, about $40 thru GolfNow, but you can get better deals thru GolfNow's Hot Deals. The course is worth every penny

It's Lake Jovita North! You get what you expect. Conditions were very good. Fairways nice. Greens were nice and fast, not perfect, but give them a couple more weeks. Really close. Rough is thick and tough to find your ball. Hit it in the short stuff! A decent value at $40+. Range balls extra.

Loved the course layout. We played from the white tees (6300 yards) and it was still fairly challenging. The course was a little wet due to all the recent rains but still was very playable. I have to say that at $70+ a round I was fairly disappointed that the course did not list that it had just aerated its greens. Other than that I would recommend this course and probably will play it again.

I enjoyed every moment playing on this course. The course was great shape I will be spending a lot of time playing golf on this course views were spectacular. I've played in a few courses out of the country and this one by far the past of those in the Caribbean. I can't wait to experience the South course.

Well maintained & dry (despite recent heavy rains), Lake Jovita remains one of my favorites in this area. Greens very fast (although a little bumpy). Will look to return in a few weeks to enjoy another round at this great layout. Highly recommend. Great value tee times are available on GolfNOW.

Played as a foursome. Had a 45 minute delay in the middle for a Florida afternoon rainstorm but hen played on with no delays. Loved this course! Can't wait to play it again! Staff was extremely attentive and food in the restaurant was very good even though the food service was pretty slow. Highly recommend the course!

oh hills, how I've missed you playing in Florida. Definitely one of the hilliest courses I've played in the Tampa area. Course was in excellent condition. Being summer, the price was extremely good but knowing now what the course can be I think the in season prices are probably fair.

The staff were all very friendly to me but were still primarily concerned with members, which I have no issues with. Was able to play as a single first thing off in under 2.5 hours. I thought the course was exceptional and if it weren't close to an hour drive I would very seriously consider membership. Not convenient to downtown or South Tampa.

Thought the layout did a good job of not putting houses in the line of fire which can be an issue in Florida as well.

Course was in excellent condition, pace of play was outstanding and price made it a great value.

Outstanding quality course, mostly wide open fairways, huge greens. Beautiful well maintained fairways, rough and areas around the greens. (Only reason I rated it less than excellent was because the greens were recovering from aeration, still very puttable.) I will definitely play again and if I have guest in town, this will be the course I bring them to play.

Great shape, even though it was star tined recently, putted well. No complaints!

Had played here once before many years ago. Course was in good condition - greens had been aerated a few weeks before - no problem. What's nice is elevation change and holes around the lakes. Cart routing, like most golf course/residential communities is a bit crazy at times. A good value overall. Plan to play the other course sometime in near future.

You know sometimes even on a hot deal you get what you pay for. Well this is actually a "hot Deal." The fairways were great and only a bad spot or two out of all the greens. Made tee time for the North Course which was recently aerated and with great service from the club house, allowed us to play the South which was almost completely healed from aeration. Nice touch! Not too many people were on the course and the cart girl was going home. She took an order from us, went back to the clubhouse and then returned with our order instead of just calling it a day. We were picked up in the lot with a cart and they came to our vehicle to return the cart. Just great service everywhere. Would love to see a hole picture on the scorecard.

Nice course , really nice clubhouse, but at $50.00 a person, even with the Golf now discount, way overpriced for this area , compared to other courses we frequently play. Greens where beat-up on the edges at a number of holes. Very fancy clubhouse , with high priced drinks.

Beautiful challenging course. Well cared for. Lots of elevation changes which is uncommon in the Tampa area. Staff is extremely friendly.

Beautiful 2 courses, rolling hills challenging fairways and greens, beautiful facilities. A pleasure to golf everytime I've been. Well recommended.

With family here, I had played nearly every course in the Tampa area over the years except Lake Jovita. I dislike many of the "golf community" courses in Florida because the homes often squeeze the already tight fairways, and I cannot understand folks who insist on living on golf courses who hate golfers. Not at Lake Jovita, though. I was thrilled to encounter reasonably generous fairways with enough common area to get away with an occasional miss. Make no mistake, however, the course is not easy. Marshes, ponds, willows and other trees, strategically placed bunkers, and juicy rough provide plenty of challenges even for the experienced golfer (just look at the rating/slope). The greens were just the right speed with an abundance of character. I don't know whether the South course is similar, but if I have a choice, I will play here any chance I get on future visits to Tampa.

You better bring your A game on putting. Course is in good shape and am looking to play south course.
