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 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.

Be ready for a hike!!

Very hilly, challenging....greens were plugged so lacked a little speed. Some cart paths were a fair distance from the greens, which is fine from maintaining course quality. After playing the 17th hole & climbing back to the cart path, I was glad I only had one more hole to play. This is the most exercise I have ever gotten riding in a cart! I will come back.....good time!

Thirsty

Love the North course, great condition and layout, numerous elevation changes unlike most courses in Florida, always a good pace of play. Only negative is the lack of a drink cart. Last 3 rounds, cart was heading in FOR THE DAY as we were heading down hole 1 (before 11am). This round, she was covering all 36 holes by herself so we didn’t see her much. You won’t see the clubhouse/snack bar until you finish 18. Bring a cooler with your own drinks or you’ll be thirsty in this Florida heat!

Beautiful course!

We played the North course of Lake Jovita and it was beautiful! The greens are very well maintained, as well as the fairways. The course is challenging but enjoyable. We especially loved the free use of the driving range prior to our tee time. Highly recommend!!!
