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 Layout, fast greens

Not your normal Florida course. Undulating greens combined with elevation changes throughout the course made it a fun and challenging round.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Everything was perfect!

I have played Lake Jovita a number of times over the years. The course was in the best shape it has ever been in. Terrific layout.

Dina on the beverage cart was great and hustled so we saw her often. The bar restaurant had awesome food.

Strongly recommend.

This course is always a pleasure to play.

North course. What a challenge. The very rapid pace of the greens takes getting used to.
The only downside was the kitchen was closed at 4pm and we finished at 4:20. Had only a barley sandwich. Their food is excellent.

Fantastic place to play

Fantastic place to play. Greens were in great shape. We had a blast. Play both courses when you get a chance. South is a harder course of the two. Enjoy and have fun.
