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.

Good course, a little high for current conditions

Have played many times, not really worth the 125 early AM. I have seen this course in way better shape

Review

I use GN a lot. I've played LJ a lot. If this isn't my 1st ever review on GN, I know it's rare. We were disappointed in the conditions for the money in the middle of summer. We probably should've known considering the recent weather...except I've never had an issue with LJ. Bunkers were trash and the rough wasn't maintained. Hopefully this isn't a trend at LJ...seen tracks go downhill. World Woods and Plantation Palms would be a great examples. Obviously Cabot changed WW and PP is coming back through ownership changes.

I had to select Y or N for recommending to a friend to submit... Selecting N with the caveat of Saturday's value. Again, hopefully this was a one off.

Tried canceling my tee time to do an illness. It’s been a week and I still haven’t heard a response from golfnow on a credit and I paid over $400+ for the round. Very disappointed with Golfnow customer service

Course was in great shape for this time of year,

Great layout as always, and beautiful tees, fairways and greens.

there were a few areas that needed work but that’s to be expected this time of year.

Only issue was having so many maintenance guys on the course while playing; took away from the round a little

Nice course as always. Took a friend who played it for the first time and he was very impressed. Got a deal on golf now otherwise it has become awfully expensive to play this year. Greens were terrific and glad to see traps were resurrected on 16
