Lines on the greens after being punched. Difficult to putt with these grabbing the ball as it rolled into them. Photo submitted by bvmagic on 05/30/2016

A Must Play Course....
First time playing the “North” course and I had a great time. The course was fun and challenging at the same time. The course was in excellent condition. The greens were running “true” which make it fun and frustrating at times. Overall, I had a great time and look forward in coming back to play.
Wide open spaces
Nice course, greens were fast and true. Not your usual flat Florida course. Plenty of room to take a full swing and a fair course where it is possible to score well.
A Lovely, Challenging Course
Lake Jovita North, With its wide fairways, undulating fairways, and a bit of elevation presents a pleasant challenge for most golfers. It has just enough water to make you nervous but overall a lovely designed layout. One of the best courses in the Tampa Bay area.
Serious issues
A return to the facilty by the son of the owner has produced predictable results. Weeds infest the fairways and the landing area on 18 is mostly dirt. Some bunkers are not maintained at all.Not so honorable son does not care,he has stated such,and that a jewel in the area is being run down and that play will suffer as a result.The course needs new ownership by someone who has a sense of pride and honors the game rather than greed for more money from golfers. Truly worth only $35 to play,
Player player
The course need some work. This was the worse condition I have ever seen this course.
Best in pasco
If anyone says different they are insane. World woods can’t hold their shoes
Great Layout Horrible Condition
Such a shame. Bare spots everywhere. Approach to just about every hole was bare. Sparse grass on fairways and rough. Exceptional layout. Conditions look like a poor municipal course. Shabby greens.
No way to get food at the turn
Nice course with a fun layout. Fairways were in nice shape. Some bunkers need work. Greens were erated and not very true. Made it difficult to putt well. After the first 9 holes on the North course there was no place to get a drink or food. 10th tee box does not go anywhere near the clubhouse. Would have been nice to get a drink with the weather being in the mid 90's
It is a great course...
They just missed on informing customers the greens had been aerated recently. Which is a big deal. Club house under construction/renovation. Not a big deal for me.
I will keep on coming back as it is such a great course.
Very nice
This is a very nice course. One of the best in the Tampa area. Great layout on South Course. Disappointed that the greens had just been punched. They should tell you that before you make reservations. Tees and fairways were excellent.
Aerated
Course is in good condition, greens were aerated about a week ago, still in good shape and still bumpy. Overall very good value for a good course.
Great
Course is in great condition, fairways are good, greens are fast and holding shots. We'll worth playing, one of the better layouts in the area.
South course was great!
We played the north course last weekend and loved it so we came back to play the south course and it was great too. South course seemed tougher with tighter fairways and fairway bunkers. Course was in great condition and practice area was nice. We had lunch in the clubhouse and it was good also. Pace of play was great for our group.
Jovita Never Disappoints
All I have to say is get out there, splurge the extra 20$ for the round, course is pristine. It's such a enjoyable, fun, test of golf. It's a true Florida gem.
Different than the North but in a great way
This south course at Lake Jovita is much different than the north. I would say that it is slightly nicer conditions wise. There was definitely less elevation change and a lot of the holes played more like a regular Florida golf course but all of the greens rolled fantastic and the grass in the fairways were in top shape. I played with a gentleman and got around in 2.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon. The course has its fair share of ups and downs which makes it fun to let a driver or fairway wood loose down a hill. Overall, I would definitely play this course again if I got a good price.
Amazing course and views
Amazing golf course. I felt like I was in the mountains instead of Florida. The course layout was great and conditions matched. A few greens had some rough spots around the edges but didn’t effect anything, same with the fairways but overall very nice. I’d give the course 4.5 starts if an option. Warm up area with driving range and putting green. Our pace of play was quick for a Saturday at 9:30 and course was tough but fair. I will definitely return back to play the north course again and I want to play the south also!
General
Course was great as always. Good condition, good value. Played fri afternoon so course was pretty much wide open but warmish. Had a great time.
One of the Best Tampa Bay Courses
Lake Jovita North is a wide, but challenging golf course. It is always I have excellent condition, and offers many challenging holes with a little bit of elevation. Be aware of I’ve even lies and will play sand traps. Check golf now and you will often find a reasonable green fee.
