Please get an on course Ranger

We have played many rounds at Lake Jovita and most times it's enjoyable. However there have been way too many occasions where extremely slow groups have had 2 or 3 open holes in front and we never see Rangers speak to them or move them along.

Also the "Members" who seem to think it's OK to just jump on the course ahead of us on an open hole is excessive.

Jovita never disappoints

Jovita South is a fantastic course. It’s in tremendous shape and the layout is great. If I was being picky they could do a better job of keeping people moving along but it didn’t ruin the day. It’s my favorite course in the area.

Good course, a little high for current conditions

Have played many times, not really worth the 125 early AM. I have seen this course in way better shape

Review

I use GN a lot. I've played LJ a lot. If this isn't my 1st ever review on GN, I know it's rare. We were disappointed in the conditions for the money in the middle of summer. We probably should've known considering the recent weather...except I've never had an issue with LJ. Bunkers were trash and the rough wasn't maintained. Hopefully this isn't a trend at LJ...seen tracks go downhill. World Woods and Plantation Palms would be a great examples. Obviously Cabot changed WW and PP is coming back through ownership changes.

I had to select Y or N for recommending to a friend to submit... Selecting N with the caveat of Saturday's value. Again, hopefully this was a one off.

Tried canceling my tee time to do an illness. It’s been a week and I still haven’t heard a response from golfnow on a credit and I paid over $400+ for the round. Very disappointed with Golfnow customer service

Nice track but Mike needs to go

Everything about the course and 99% of the people there were amazing even got let through by 3 groups as a single so I finished before the heat. Only problem was I called spoke to Mike, and was told there were no tee times as a walk on before 11 that day. I show up at 1040 asked to walk on and he told me I have to start in 5 mins and he tried charging me more. I told me I only brought enough cash for the 11 o clock round so he gave me a time at 1140 even tho there was no one booked at 11. Then I was told the range isn’t “public” so I can’t go hit balls the whole time before my round I paid for. This is a public golf course. Anyways I go to starter and he let me out at 1055 with no one insight for 7 holes. Will be back but hope they fire Mike! He’s what people paying good money don’t want to see before their round
