Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

A Refreshing Change for FL Golf
Most golf visitors to FL quickly realize courses tend to be FLAT and fairly uninteresting. Lake Jovita North is cloudy and rainy conditions did not disappoint. Dollar for dollar, maybe one of the best deals in the state.
Course conditions: A-. Lots of rain resulted in patches of wet fairway and I’ll say this, it probably should have been cart path only to preserve the fairways which were stunningly green and in terrific shape. The greens appeared punched and not fully recovered, but still pretty true. Definitely fast. As the title suggests, we had clouds and intermittent rain, but we almost didn’t notice because of the stunning design. There were too many memorable holes to count and having elevation changes and undulating rolling terrain in FL was a bit shocking. Bunkers good. Just wet and heavy. My grade is most because bunkers were unraked and the speed of the greens were a little inconsistent. Course design was easily an A+.
Staff friendliness: C-. All of the supporting cast, TERRIFIC. Do you ever get the sense that if you use GN, that the pro-shop people look at you with a sense of disdain? I’m pretty sure the guy who checked us in was as unfriendly a person as I’ve ever met. Word of advice, ignore him.
Pace of play: A+ but mostly because the forecast kept the golfers away and for the golf addicts, there less dawdling when heavy rains are in the forecast. Breezed through in 3:15 on a Sunday.
Clubhouse is beautiful. Practice facilities were meh, but driving range is free. To anyone reading this, I’d say Lake Jovita is worth the 40 minute drive north. To compare, we played two rounds at Tampa TPC for ~$350 which was shockingly disappointing on every front. Drive the extra 20 minutes and stop at Publix for supplies.
Great course and friendly staff
Enjoyed playing this course. It played true and was fair but nice mix of challenge and opportunity.
Perfect conditions
Very nice course, prefect, nice greens and fairways
Great afternoon value
Courses in great condition and we were able to beat the sunset.
Great course
Course was in excellent shape and received great rate. Played in just under 4 hours and beat sunset. Snack bar was not open. Did get one pass by with cart girl so we stocked up as she was heading in.
Bang for your buck
I wish the Fees were less . would play here more often.
