Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course

About
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.

Course condition is poor very expensive to play here
Bare patches on several greens fairways and bunkers in poor condition
Very expensive course was in very poor condition
Expensive and course in poor condition , bare patches on greens over seeded fairways ,no food afterwards
normally love to play here BUT wasn't alerted that it was CART PATH ONLY before I booked otherwise I would have avoided it. The course plays long to begin with for me so this made it terrible. There should be a warning on the website when the conditions aren't as expected.
Poor Communication
We booked through Golf Now and there was no communication from them that the course was cart path only. I am a senior in my 7o’s who was unable to cancel without losing my money as we arrived at the course less than an hour before our tee time. If I don’t cancel at least an hour before, I lose my money. Pass members should be notified of any changes in regular play. I was unable to finish my round! The rating reflects the no carts allowed on fairways and no notification. Had we been notified, I would have rebooked as this is our favourite course.
Great Condition!
Really enjoyed the round. The course is obviously taken care of, they do a great job.
Lake Jovita North
Unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. There had been quite a bit of rain recently and probably half or more holes were cart path only, the bunkers were In awful shape and many had washed out areas and still contained quite a bit of water. Many fairways were spongy and the ball would plug so time had to be spent searching for balls in the fairways . The greens though were in good shape and very fast. Overall I was very disappointed and even with a very good price from GolfNow, the course was greatly overpriced for conditions. I’ve always heard such good things about this course and was really looking forward to a great experience but unfortunately that was not the case.
Unbelievable
The course conditions were great! It was a lot of cart path only holes which made for a long hike! Overall had a great experience!
