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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fair ways were cut really short and the sand in the traps were very hard for the price of 76.00 not worth it
