Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - North Course
Rating Snapshot
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 Shape- Fast Greens!
Course is in great shape. Greens we're fast, but true. The only drawback is not bathrooms on back 9.
Excellent Course
Very challenging and long layout. Greens in great shape, running extremely fast. Be below the hole or else. Staff friendly and attentive. Lots of hills for a Florida course.
Greens were firm and fast. Course in great shape overall. Make sure you save a stroke for the greens, they are very slopey
Great Course!
Played the North course today from the vey back tees. I am 67 years old and it was really fun! The weather and the course were great!!
The staff in the Pro Shop were very friendly and helpful. Especially Grace!
Coming back tomorrow to play the South Course. If you are in this area or even an hour away, it is definitely worth coming here.
Also, great driving range range and the balls are included and out on the tee. No carrying a bag of balls. That went out in the 8s.
Would highly recommend this course and club to anyone!!
I will be back!!
Course was challenging but not extremely hard
The North course was in very good shape for this time of year. The greens were good and challenging. They also were very fast. The whole course was in good condition and a pleasure to play. Recommend it to anyone.
Almost perfect
Played at noon on a beautiful day as a threesome on the North course. The tee boxes, fairways were in the best conditions I’ve seen Lake Jovita in many years.The greens were quite fast but in very good shape. Even the traps which are usually problematic, we’re well-maintained with plenty of sand.
The only setback was a member tournament of about six groups which played like they owned the course (which they probably have a right to). Took almost 5 hours. We’ll play again very soon
Great conditions but so slooooow !!!
Let’s start by saying that the course is in excellent condition, beautiful very fast greens, great fairways, tees and bunkers. But the layout is just ok, no wow factor.
But the worst was the pace of play, 4 hours.and 50:minutes, waited on every shot made it for a long day, no marshall to keep the pace up. So not a good experience, I was expecting a better day of golf at Lake Jovita.
Think twice
For the price you pay $105, there should not be maintenance grews rolling the greens, working on sand traps, working on tee boxes, driving all around the course and the condition of the area around the greens is terrible. The maintenance issues speak for themselves. The condition around the greens would be compared to an un maintained round side, rocks, wash outs and holes. No one to maintain pace of play. If you just want to spend money and have 5 hours to spare for a round of golf, try it.
Nice country club atmosphere
We played the North course which was outstanding. It was very wide open with rolling hills. You just got to avoid the fairway bunkers along the way. The greens were Bermuda & super fast, which I just loved. Putting & picking a point to land your chip was a challenge. Nice practice areas were also a plus. The views were beautiful all day. My wife & I thoroughly enjoy this gem of a course.
Great course
Course In great shape and pace of play was perfect
