Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course
About
Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club offers two championship courses, the North and the South. Both courses sprawl across a verdant landscape covered with mature oaks, lakes, and ponds. The terrain is unusually hilly for Florida. Like the South Course, the North Course is undulating with a lot of movement but it has even greater elevation changes than the South, which provides scenic views of the surrounding community. On a clear day, golfers can see at least five miles to the northeast from the second tee. The North has a more modern layout that plays a little bit longer. Although the golf courses are nestled amongst rolling hills, Lake Jovita is situated just 30 minutes north of Tampa. The unique hilliness of the courses and their convenient location have made them some of Florida's must-play courses.

Great course!
Range was closed but still shot a solid 81, open fairways, greens rolled true. Great course, scenery , golf shop, can’t beat this course.
Beautiful course!
We played the North course of Lake Jovita and it was beautiful! The greens are very well maintained, as well as the fairways. The course is challenging but enjoyable. We especially loved the free use of the driving range prior to our tee time. Highly recommend!!!
fantastic
I had been forewarned that Lake Jovita was a hidden gem, but still - I was overwhelmed
this is a Great layout, with expansive views ( due to the un-Florida-like terrain - Hilly !)
we were booked for the North, but got "upgraded" ("it is more scenic") to the South
the starter sent us off a little early - to avoid being behind a tournament - we played in under 4 hours, and had No One behind nor in Front of us - all day
This course stands up to any & all - in Pinellas & Hillsborough counties
Issue with both lake Jovita and golf now
Set up twosome thru golf now hot deals, thought I could add my son to make a threesome but couldn’t, either on phone with golf now rep, or thru course website. I assumed course had put my twosome with another, but when we show up to play, they sent us out with three other twosomes, all separate groups. A little frustrated I couldn’t add a third player, whether is on a list of golf now “friends” or not.
This was a challenging course for me. Fairways were generous but a number of approaches were narrow with bunkers and water on both sides. Greens were true with some tough pin placements. Womens tee boxes were in good shape which is usually not the case at most courses. Will definitely play here again.
Above average course in Tampa
I would go here again.. pretty course with some elevation changes that other Tampa courses don’t have. Nice greens.
Outstanding Course
All 4 of us said it was the best course we played in Florida. Simply amazing and in superb condiition. We loved the layout and the club house.
Old Hoosiers
Great course and pace was fine. After playing south in over 5 hours happy with under 4 hours. Greens fast but fair. Must’ve employee problems because some sand traps need physical labor. We will be back
Love the course but bunkers were unplayable
Overall this is a nice course with a nice layout, however, I was surprised that all of the bunkers on the north course were full of water and you could see the tremendous ruts that were in them. I would’ve liked to of seen them pumped out and raked. Other than that it was a very enjoyable round.
JD & Dan's Review
course was in good condition, greens especially nice. Sand traps were not great with hard packed sand. Would like to come back when in better condition...
Great conditions
Course was in great condition, some bunkers could use some TLC, however overall it was great playing the North course.
Lake Jovita North Course
The course was great. Our tee time was delayed a bit. We had to wait on the groups in front of us all day but still finished in a reasonable time. The course was fantastic. Lots of fun to play. Greens were very fast and challenging but manageable. Absolutely one of the best courses in the area. Also it is not flat and boring like most Florida courses. Highly recommended if you can get it at a reasonable price.
Excellent
A challenging yet forgiving course with fast greens and some difficult pin placements. My only complaint is the golfers who don’t repair divots and ball marks.
