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

Nice layout
Course was in great shape. Played here for the 1rst time. Was enjoyable to play(even though cart path only because of rain). Some tricky landing areas and tee shots, so you should pay attention when hitting your shots. Will try and come back to play the north course. Would highly recommend to come and play here.
Nice Course to Play
The Course offers something for every level of Player - I at 64 years played the White Tee
There are dog leg both left and Right force carries off 3 tees many sand traps will be in the way
LOL - they are clean and fair if you find 1,2,or 3
This is a course I would play again
Beautiful course
Challenging, well manicured and beautiful course in wonderful condition. Always a pleasure to play here. Only downside is a very slow pace of play for a weekday.
A NEW FAVOURITE
Great variety with big elevation changes for Florida. Greens were huge with lots of big breaks but true.The only negative was that the Bunkers had not dried out after a big rain several days ago and staff had not been able to fix the washouts although they were working on restoring som that were drying out. Had a great day and looking forward to going back.
Great Day at golf
Beautiful, very challenging and well maintained course. Although the weather conditions were not the greatest (cold and windy), our first experience at this golf course was well worthed. A small disappointment, there were no "wash balls" on the course.
Enjoy
Great overseed job, fairways are beautiful. Beware the downhill putt. Awful first hole. Too tough for a hole #1.
A course in Florida that actually has hills!!
Wow, great place. Had a friend in from up north and decided to splurge on a nice course. Totally worth it.
Staff was great, memebers were friendly, course was in exceptional shape. I’ll be back.
Great condition
North course was in great condition and it’s a nice layout. Pace was slow but played a PM round... 4:30 hours.
Great shape
We played the south course and it was in excellent condition. The greens were extremely fast.
Put this one on your must play list
We'd booked Lake Jovita's South course but were sent out on the North course. The course was great! It's in excellent shape from tees through greens. The layout is interesting and challenging. The forward tees (mine) are just under 5200 yards, and there are a couple of forced carries off the tee that may put your driver to the test. There is a set of "family" tees, which make the course inviting to the shorter hitters too. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We truly enjoyed the course and plan on going back soon.
Nice, Fun Course - Do NOT Rent Clubs There
This was my first time playing at Lake Jovita. I flew in this morning from out of state. The airline lost my clubs so I had to rent clubs at the course. The rental clubs were AWFUL. I four different brands of clubs that made up the set of clubs. The set did not have a putter so I asked the gentleman if I could get a putter. The only right handed putter available was a VERY OLD, wooden putter straight out of the 1980s. I was charged $60 for the rental clubs and should have only been charged $10 based on the age, condition and hodge-podge of clubs I was given. The set had to pitching wedges, two four irons, no 3 wood, no 5 wood, no 3 iron.
Other than the crappy rental clubs, I really liked the course and I would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to play a well kpet, fun and challenging course.
When i pulled into the parking lot, a person n picked me up at my car. Everything was very nice (except the rental clubs). The greens were quick, rolled true, very large and challenging with lots of slopes and undulations.
If you have not played this course, make it a point to go play. .
will play again
although it was a rather cool morning, this was a better than expected round . the staff was friendly and the golf course was in very good condition.
Pace of play was better then average and were able to beat the 4 hour round.
Played the South course
Got there early and hit some balls. Starter told me I could play the South course if I wanted since it was more open. They overseeded 6 weeks ago and it’s in great shape. Greens are firm and fast.
Fast and Challenging
Fairways and tee boxes in great shape, greens rolled true and quick. Not your typical Florida course, elevation change and large undulating greens. Three puts will happen if you don’t stick it close. 80% of putts here in Florida, you can usually just firm the putt inside or just on edge and they’ll fall...... NOT HERE!!! Pace and line need to be exact or it’s 4 feet by (or more)
Big let down
I recommend this course based on the potential I saw, not the conditions I played in. Some of the Tee Boxes were really rough with bare ground and weeds. Quite a few Greens were in bade shape, as well. Fairways were missing grass in places, and the Rough was, well......rough (unplayable). I have played with a lot of people that have told me I had to try Lake Jovita out. It is over an hour drive, but I put a few Promo codes together and offset the high price and drove down from Citrus County. Really a big let down.
