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.

Lake Jovita

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

Jovita

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

First time disappointed with pace of play

I have played Lake Jovita at least 30 times - and would have played more if it was closer. However it’s about an hour and 20 minutes from where my foursome lives. But because of the course and the wonderful outings we’ve had - we keep going back. Unfortunately, our last outing (yesterday 3/20) was unlike any experience we’ve ever had at Lake Jovita. The round took 4 hours 45 minutes to play- solely because of the foursome in front of us. To say they were slow would be an understatement. By the ninth hole they had a hole and a half open in front them. When they departed the 15th green they were 2 1/2 holes behind the group in front of them. Two groups behind us gave up on the back 9 and called it a day. It was an agonizing experience that could have been avoided if the club had a Ranger on the course. Again - I LOVE the course - but this experience was simply unacceptable.

Always great to play

It was a busy Monday at the course. The rate we paid we paid for this time of year was $60 special I live only 20 minutes from the course and had company in town so it was an easy choice. The fairways were a little short- tight lies as our growing season is just starting now. We got paired up with a father/son and had a great time the pace of play was just over 4.5 hours which was good for the amount of golfers
