Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club

North and south courses are in great shape. Fun layout with fast sloping greens to test you. Make sure you play here!

Played the North course in the past and played South today. Rye was growing in well. Greens were about 3 weeks after Aerofication. Greens were firm, held well and rolled smooth. Layout is nice, we played through two groups as a twosome and enjoyed the round. Very nice condition. Would recommend. .

This is a beautiful course. It was expensive to play IMO but well worth it. I would keep coming back here. I was the only player on the course, I'm assuming due to cold weather. The fairways are immaculate and greens very well maintained. The only reason I'm not giving my review 5 stars is due to the perceived lack of golf etiquette from the grounds staff. It seemed like there was a gentleman following me around on each hole working on the green of the hole I was playing. This didn't really bother me except that he would not stop working his tractor even as I was hitting my approach. By about the 5th hole I just hit into him and if he got pegged it was on him. The other part I found annoying is that grounds crew kept working even if I was near them getting ready to hit a shot. Given my level, this would not normally bother me but it felt like on every hole I was listening to mowers and leaf blowers prior to playing my shot. Certainly not enough of an inconvenience for me not to have a great time but for the price I paid to play, I was hoping they'd be a little more courteous.

This is a beautiful Course and should definitely be on your play list.

PLAYED HERE SEVERAL TMES N THE PAST ON THE NORTH COURSE,THS TME TRYED SOUTH. GOLF COURSE OUTSTANDNG FAIRWAYS,GREENS OUTSTANDNG. GREENS AT LEAST 10.5,PLAYED ALONE FAST ROUND GREAT TRACK, LOT OF UP AND DOWN FAIRWAYS AND TEE SHOTS, SEVERAL LARGE DROPS FROM THE TEE BOX 75 FT OR SO. GREAT TIME PERFECT WEATHER, GLAD I TOOK A SHOT AT THE ORGNAL SOUTH COURSE WLL PLAY AGAIN SOON, BOTH TRACKS FANTASTC

Great course. Excellent fairways and excellent fast greens.

Great course with excellent conditions and layout. The problems are:

1). The golf carts are terrible. I used 3 carts on one round, the first being replaced twice. Brakes are terrible, steering is terrible and they are terribly water spotted......and that is on every round I have played this season.

2). They never have enough sand in the divot bottles (if they are even on the carts to start with). That means lots and lots of divots are not being filled. They MUST get with the program on this one if they want fairway divots filled.

These are complaints a course like this should not be dealing with.

The course is in great shape. The golf carts often don’t last for the afternoon golf. We have had to shift our cart out more than once. If they want golfers to take care of their divots, they need to fill the sand jugs provided with the cart. We filled our own last time but today there was no half way stations to fill our jugs so divots were left unfilled. These concerns should not be a part of an upper rated course.

Beautiful course, nearly perfect lightning fast greens.

I come from NJ to visit FL once or twice a year for the past three years, and each time I visit the Tampa area, I make sure to make the trip up to Lake Jovita to play the North course. Unlike most FL courses which are flat and the only interesting topography involves water, Lake Jovita North actually has elevation changes, tree lined areas, slope, and just a visually appealing architecture. Add in a little challenging length, and this course is more than worth the reasonable price tag. And I’ve always found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. Not the best choices with food during a round, but that’s the least of my concerns when golfing. I’d recommend the course for anyone looking for a well maintained course that offers something a little different for FL.

I have previously played this course and have had a great time every round I have played. The more I play the more I notice about it. One flaw that I noted about this course yesterday was that there are no ball washers. i know this may sound like an odd complaint and maybe I was just missing them but this was sort of off putting. Overall the course was in great playing shape and the greens rolled lightning fast.

The course was in good shape with the exception of some bunkers.Would like to see white sand in the sand traps.Pace of play was good for black friday.The greens were like lightning

I thoroughly enjoyed my game but pace of play was slow. The day after Thanksgiving may be the reason.

We also had to change carts toward the end of the game as ours was dying. This has happened to us before. They need to address the cart situation.

Play the forward tees course is rather long lots of water the greens were in lightning fast but overall I really enjoyed playing the course

Fantastic course. T boxes ,fairways, greens are perfect.

And greens are FAAST!
