Great condition

Always love playing either Jovita course. Fun layout, nice condition, and tough fast sloped greens.

overbooked

This is strictly a review for the day because I give them a 5 star rating in all my other reviews.

The course was in great shape for this time of year.

The club was hosting a large 3-day senior outing, so there were no carts available on time. Teed off late. Ended up waiting 15 minutes for every shot. Left after 10 holes.

The staff did the best they could and were very polite and helpful.

Beautifully laid out in golf course with great conditions

After playing this one other time last year, we went back to the South course. it was a Monday and play was incredibly quick. Had the course to ourselves for a while. This is one of the best courses I've played on the west coast of Florida and using a golf now app were able to play for the low price of $55 a man including cart ..which had GPS to the pin measurements

everyone was super friendly and I will be back despite the one hour drive from where I live during season.

Too big for their knickers

I used to love playing Lake Jovita. Around a year and a half ago, new management came in a jacked up the prices. I used to play there 2-3 times a month. Now I play there 5-6 times a year. They’ve become too expensive. I bet their rounds this past year have went down when every other golf course’s I’ve played, their rounds have went up due to COVID. What a shame. It’s a drive to get here too. If you’re going to drive, I’d recommend going to Fox Hollow or Eaglebrooke in Lakeland. If you have to make a drive to play some good golf, you might as well drive somewhere where it doesn’t cost you an arms be a leg.

Very Nice Day!

I thoroughly enjoyed played Lake Jovita - North course for my first time! I got lucky and was paired up with a good golfer and very nice person. We did get to ride in separate carts without an extra charge (even though there is apparently suppose to be one for $20), but we were told by course employees that were playing behind us that we should not have been able to do so. If I were forced to ride with an unknown player or had to pay extra to ride separate, I would have not played!

As for the course it is a very nice layout, and was in very good condition. I am looking forward to getting back there to try the south course.

Cool day great track

The course is in nice shape and the greens are rolling very quick. Took almost 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon which was unfortunate. The only gripe was the GPS not working Correctly with pin position placements.

Hope to return soon!

Quality Course

Course always a challenge no matter what tees are used. The greens were in excellent condition and fast. A poor read can leave you 4ft past the hole. Get to use a majority of your clubs
