Fun to play.

Nice staff. Course was in pretty good shape. I think a little bit overpriced. But that’s pretty standard in this area. Still fun to play and enjoyed the 19 th hole.

Just don’t get it.

Made a tee time on a Monday. Got paired up. Waited on first tee and the entire remaining 8 holes. Had a fivesome in front of us playing out of three bags. Literally waited 10 minutes on every shot. Had a sixome two groups behind us. Guy in pro shop was nice and refunded us the back 9 green fee because we couldn’t do a six hour round. Full of lake visitors who don’t know anything about golf. Awful experience. Course was in good shape. We started on back 9 and it was good until the last couple holes that should have a clowns head and windmill on the green. The beeches won’t see me again. Too many other good courses around.

Good. Not great.

Course was in good shape. Layout is great except for some really ridiculous greens. Greens were a little slow but on some of those greens it’s probably a good thing.

Good but....

Played course for the first time this past week-end. Course was in good shape, greens rolled fast and true, pace of play was good. The only complaint (sort of) is the cost. This course is not worth 48.00 per person. It's a nice course that is somewhat short and moderately challenging, That being said, golf is more expensive in the Venice area so I understand (still being "in season"). I live in Tampa area and you can play some better courses for less $ in this area.

South course

Overall the course was pretty good. Bunkers could use some sand. Golf cart was not great (bad brake and old). Greens rolled pretty good and fairways were good. Once we played through one group the pace of play got better. Having played here occasionally over the past 10 years I guess it’s just not in quite as good of shape as it used to be. Starting to look a little more run down. Did get a great rate online so it was worth the money.

Not bad

Greens are still bumpy and slow (recently punched). Grass is coming back on fairways. Will be nice in a couple weeks. Pace of play was a little slow. One group holding up the whole back 9.

Good......

Course was in good shape but the greens were a little slower than usual. Got done with round at 4:30 and the bar was already closed which was a little disappointing, That seems like it's a little early. Usually when I play the Fox, everything is perfect.

What happened?

Played here about two months ago and the course was in great shape. Not a overly tough course but a good to walk and the greens/fairways were in great shape. Not the case yesterday. Grass is gone on the fairways and the greens. Greens rolled really fast (because the grass isn't growing). Tees were in bad shape also. I hope they get it back to the shape it was in.

Nice

Played this course about 6 months ago and was surprised by how bad the condition of the course was. It has made a nice comeback. A couple of greens have some dead spots but it's much better than it was. Fairways were in great shape. Played 18 with the wife in Three hours!

Good Course

Course was in good shape. Price was only $20.00. Pace of play was good. You get a good variety of holes. Course was a little wet. Bunkers need a little work.

Great shape!

The city courses (Rocky point, rogers park, and the Babe) have really come a long way. The greens and fairways at rogers are better than almost all the more expensive (exclusive) courses that i have played the last few months. Keep up the good work. Rocky Point is also in fantastic shape. Grill food is good and the beer is cold.

Just played there yesterday and the course is still in great shape although a little dry. Greens are very fast. Pins were in some ridiculous spots. The only downside is that there is no ranger and it's essentially a free for all on the 1st and 10th tees. I made the turn and found two groups ahead of me that were not ahead of me on the front. That seems to be a continual problem.

Nice but.....

It looks like they crammed the course on the smallest amount of land possible. Many semi-blind shots. Tight and not real long. It's in good shape. If you've never played it you will hit the ball in some wrong/bad spots and think you are okay. You can also hit what you think are bad shots and find out your not so bad. Greens are very small so if you miss, you can have some brutal up and downs.

What is wrong with the Greens?

Took two of my buddies here because the course is always in great shape. We played the North (South was closed) so it was much busier than normal in the summer. Took 4 hours and 45 minutes to play 18 which is brutal. Half the greens had large dead spots on them (most of the greens that are exposed are in good shape). Price was right but I won't go back until greens are in better shape.

Bucki68 thank you for playing Lake Jovita. We are currently in the process of renovating some of the greens, and the work will be completed in September. Would love to have you back out to Lake Jovita to see the improvements. Thank you and have a great day.
