Great Outing!!

We played the North Course and overall, the course is in great shape and the greens are rolling! Looking forward to returning to play the South Course. I highly recommend playing Lake Jovita and bring your A game.

One of best around.

From the time the young man picked up my clubs as soon as I got out of the car till the time I left the 19 hole the word excellent discribe it all. If you have not played this course you have missed a truly amazing time. Should warn you the down hill putts take just a turning of the letters.

Course in good shape even with over seeding,

Our biggest disappointment was the staff. They were not very informative, friendly or helpful with golfers who had never played the course. We were given no direction as to where to start, had to go back in for balls for the range. Once we found the starter, it got better. He was friendly. Greens were excellent.

One of the best around the area. I brought a friend in from out of town and he really enjoyed it. Pace of play was pretty slow and cart with drinks would have been nice to see more often.

Course was in great shape as usual; staff helpful;beautiful day; starter was friendly but could have been more forceful about combining groups; too many 2somes;contributed to slow round of 5 hours; busy day as well but didn't need to be as protracted; otherwise a first class faciluty.

LJ South Course

Played here on a Friday morning in a outing and had a blast. Was a little disappointed as I played the south course the previous Saturday with similar conditions expecting this time to be fixed. Many of the tee boxes were overgrown and needed a lot of love. For a course that charges at the least $50 with many times more depending on prime time play I was expecting much better conditions then what you would find at a county course. I have played here a couple times and outside of these last 2 recent times have had better experiences.

Great track

I played the south course last February and had to play it again. So far it's my favorite in the Dade City area. They recently over seeded but the course was still in nice shape.

Very nice layout and enjoyed the course. Greens are faster than many of the other courses around but roll true. Quite a number of holes that are picturesque from the tees.

Only issue was it was the slowest round we've played in years. We were a threesome, had only saw a threesome in front of us and a twosome in front of them and it took 5 hours to play 18 holes.
