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

Awesome course
Got to play the North course today for the first time! For only being 15 years old it’s a very mature course!! The layout was great!!! Only issue was the sand traps. But after so much rain last night it is slightly expected. They need way more sand! Otherwise I’ll definitely be returning to play it again!! Try it out!!!
Course was in nice shape. Greens were very fast but consistent. Carts are restricted near the greens more than most courses which meant lots more walking.
A DAY AT LAKE JOVITA WTH ONE OF MY BEST BRO
GREAT DAY LITTLE SLOW COURSE PRETTY FULL LOT OF PROPLE PLAYNG 1 PER CART. PLAYED WTH ONE OF MY BEST FREND FROM LUTZ, IS GAME STEPED UP WITH THOSE NEW PING IRONS WOODS AND BAG. BEST PART HE ONLY LOST 3 BALLS WAY DOWN FROM A SMALL BUCKET.
Must Play List
If you have the privilege of playing golf in central Florida you have got to put this course on your must play list. I work in the golf industry in central Florida and I get to play all the best public and some private courses. This definitely one of the best. Shot/club selection, approach shot accuracy, reading greens and putting speed control will be tested. These course conditions are to par with the course difficulty. If the weather doesn't interfere with your day, you will really test your skill. You won't have the course as an excuse.
Jovita
Absolutely love going here. Had to wait for carts but well worth the wait. Big greens and testy putts. They honestly ate me up but going from the local course to something this prestine is a big change. Recommend!!!!!
On of the nicest courses
This is a very nice course ( along with the north course) that most golfers would enjoy playing it is in great shape and a joy to play
Upscale Gated Community country club golf.
Huge in every way. Holes for the most part have great separation. The fairways and greens are immense and trouble is hard to find unless you really spray the ball. Greens were very fast and most were immaculate. Putts from above the hole or with significant side hill break either go in or finish 6-8 feet from the hole. There are a few areas that could be improved such as weed infestation on some greens and the quality of sand in the bunkers. There were a few wash-out areas from recent rains. The homes located on the course are also huge and are well back so as not to be in play. The house to the left of # 18 North looks like it should be a hotel !!
Overall a good day and GolfNow provides rates that are manageable.
Great course
South and North are both a must play. Two different layouts, both in great condition
Tired of getting one of these reviews every time I buy or do something
If you don’t like playing golf at Lake Jovita you should stop playing golf. Go find something else to do.
Tip top shape
They employees are standing by the rules. All the carts are disinfected, spray bottles of disinfectant on every hole, the course is in A-1 condition. There are groundskeepers working on the whole course everyday.
A great day on the links
We played the North Course. For as dry as it has been here in central FL. the course was in fantastic condition. Fairways and greens were almost perfect.
A little disappointed to be honest
There are a lot of inconsistent lies throughout the course - in the fairway, in the rough, on the tee boxes, and especially around the green complexes where consistent lies are crucial to make your up & downs.. Also despite the drought, and playing the afternoon on the day after less than .5 inches of rain, the fairways were a little muddy in a lot of places (half inch of rain ended early Mon AM, sunshine Mon & Tues, played Tues PM). From the other reviews I guess I was expecting better. Otherwise though it's an impressive club, great design, great challenge, visually delightful. The greens rolled true and at a good speed. In-cart GPS is great. Spray bottles of disinfectant at every tee is very thoughtful. Be prepared for side/down/uphill lies. I do want to play here again and would recommend it, My purpose of negative comments is for info to other golfers and constructive criticism to the club.
The north course is great
Some like the South course better but I think that they are both great I took 3 people that had never played there and they were very impress.. This course should be on your list to play when your in the Tampa/Westly Chappal
area A great course (both )
Fair ways were cut really short and the sand in the traps were very hard for the price of 76.00 not worth it
North course excellent
Course was in great shape, greens held approach shots and rolled great! They had a hand sanitizer spray bottle on each hole. Highly recommend the course!!!
Slice of heaven!
If you can't have good enjoyment playing golf at Lake Jovita then you just can't have fun anywhere. Great course layout. Great condition. Great elevation changes. Go have fun. Play Lake Jovita. Either course will do.
