Corse conditions

I travel from Ky with family to play early January every year. Course layouts are great. Course conditions typically very good. Bunkers could use some work. Fees not an issue but would like to see some discount considering we play 36 holes each day. Staff is very good. Villas are great. Looking forward to next visit.

Awful pace

Course is improving a little more. Good tee boxes. Great greens and fairways. Didn’t love that 16 on the north was playing basically as a par 3.

Biggest issue was that it was a 5 hour round. At $150, I’d expect top notch everything - including a ranger moving the pace along.

Nice course

Very nice course, but! There is only one bathroom on the course, first time playing this course, there are no pics on the score card showing anything nor is there nothing at the tee boxes either, so if your playing this course for the first time you are playing blind. There is also not one ball washer on the course. This needs to change. The greens were very nice and lightening fast.

Jovita is best in srea

Lake Jovita never disappoints. Both courses are fantastic and always in great shape. Honest opinion, you if you golf Cabot and Jovita you’d never go back to Cabot on your dime

One of the best courses in Tampa area

Played yesterday with 3 friends from out of town. Course was in great condition given challenges with the recent hurricanes.

Greens were the best of the 3 courses we played this weekend.

Pace of play was terribly slow. I called the clubhouse on the 5th hole. Not sure if they said something but pace definitely improved.

Only thing that surprised me is that they do not have gps on the carts. A lot of hazards you have to watch out for so a quality gps system with a display would greatly improve playability and guess pace of play.

$140 was steep

All fairway bunkers were unplayable.

I understand the hurricanes caused damage, however $140, cart path only, and all fairway bunkers unplayable is robbery.

Please get on course Rangers to Enforce pace of play

It's becoming an every week issue. We see 2 and 3 holes open in front of slow playing groups. Please get a ranger out there to move them along. You don't have to be good to keep up with the group ahead. 5 hour rounds are getting common place at Lake Jovita
