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

Always Worth The Drive
The North course is not as dramatic as the South course but it always seems to be in much better shape. The fairways are excellent and the rough, fairways, tee boxes and greens all get my vote for tops in the area for the price. The carts are top of the line and the restaurant has a decent menu. The South course is not as nice and is more challenging, but both are worth the drive from the city.
Great shape
Easy course to play but if you are a big hitter it plays over 7200 yards. I played white tees and that was enough for me. The tee boxes were choppy but I assume that is temporary rest of course great shape
DO NOT PLAY HERE
The pace at this course is absolutely horrible. The pro shop does not care that on carts in groups of three people the total round took over 4.5 hours, well above what’s recommended from the USGA. The staff is also incredibly rude and told me not to come back since I was upset about waiting on every single shot. The course is ok. There are some incredibly unfair holes where you hit a perfect drive 300 yards in the middle of the fairway and it plugs and you have a muddy ball with a very sloped lie. Legit courses don’t have bowls in the center of the fairway or trees in the center for that matter. The center of fairways should be more flat as a reward for hitting it there, not sloped, wet, and muddy. As a 4 handicap player who plays regularly, I will never be coming back to this course again. Way over priced and certainly not worth it to wait on every single golf shot.
Great staff
Great staff and awesome carts with gps and Bluetooth speakers
Big track!
It was wet so it played extremely long!
Greens were very good! True rolls and held a correctly struck approach! A big challenge to your game from all tees!
The one thing that was a negative was most bunkers were either flooded with water and you would lose the ball or not playable! Overall will return again and it’s worth the price!
Ps- jump on the tips if you want to see were your game is as a single digit hdcp! It’s a beast!!
Too wet!
Played the South Course for the first time and very impressed with the layout. Typical summer rain has taken it’s toll. The bunkers were unplayable. Many of the green side traps were full of water so it made it very difficult not only to play but find your ball. Considering the wet conditions we had a great time. I can only imagine this course dry and playing fast! Whoa!
Thunderstorm round
Very nice Course very challenging pace of play was very good couple greens need a little work other than that excellent Round of golf I look forward to playing the north course next time our
Lake Jovita continues to impress
Lake Jovita continues to be my favorite course in the Tampa area. The value of play is very good, especially in the summer. As a big fan of fast greens, I always feel at home here, which seems to be few and far between in the area. More space than a traditional Florida course allows for more forgiveness and better views. I highly recommend playing this course if possible.
Top Rated
One of the best course in Florida. I have played many of them. 1st class . Long drive from south Hillsborough county, but worth it.
Amazing
If you want a great course, great holes, this is the course to play.
Nice round
3 1/2 hour round. Cart girl was timely. Staff was friendly and helpful. Course in great shape especially for this time of year. No complaints
