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.

Awesome Golf Club

The North course was in spectacular condition! Greens were running 10 to 11. Fairways and tee boxes we’ll manicured. Play was a little slower than usual because the South Course was closed due to aerification. I would recommend the courses at Lake Jovita to everyone! You won’t be disappointed

Great experience! Great staff. Too bad some golfers to see fit to take the traps when they're in them! A course ranger could help ? Over all great course! We will be back to explore the South Course...

Great Course

Really enjoyed the course. .
Pace was perfect. No one in front and no one pushing us. Course was in good shape for the winter. Rough was a little dry but fairways were green. Greens where good but very fast.

Everything was great!

We played the North course and it was in top shape. Minimally slow play but to be expected in February.
