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.

Well maintained golf course !!
Great conditions, well maintained greens and fairways !! Love this course !!
Fun and Challenging
Fun and interesting course. Lots of variety. Course was in good condition, except for bunkers. Hopefully a bunker renovation is planned soon. Hardly any sand left…
Spectacular Course
Lake Jovita is one of finest if not the finest course available in the central Florida corridor. Both north & south courses are amaculate. Last week played the north, no better value for the cost, go play , it’s a gem
Lake Jovita North course
Great course fun to play back nine was very slow and dining facility for lunch was understaffed and did not have items on the menu, slow service.
Definitely would play this course again was in great shape and it’s fun to play.
Overpriced
The starter was good and friendly. The pro shop employee doesn't seem to enjoy his job. Holes 8, 9, 10 and 11 on the north couase have bad layouts. No ball washers on the course. Tee box markers weren't put out on certain holes.
Always great
Always in good condition and greens roll fast and true.
One thing f my favourite courses in this area.
Disappointed
I was expecting a lot more for $65 on a weekday at 11 am. There were several dead patches on the fairways- nothing worse than getting penalized for a beautiful drive down middle of the fairway. Then, the greens were not rolling well at all. They were aerified a couple weeks ago and pro shop said they were fine, but I’ve played better greens that were aerified day before. Only saving grace was that we were only ones on the course and pace was great. But, I played a course with better conditions for half the price day before. Staff not that friendly either. Will not return or recommend.
Worth every penny
A little bit pricey, but worth every penny . Great condition. Fantastic greens. Only 1 thing bothers me , the inside pro shop staff are rude every time I play there. Seems they are not tp happy about golf now customers.
Don't try to pay for an extra cart.
A member of our foursome had his young son with him who doesn't play and was just going to ride because there was no school. We show up to the starter with 3 carts and he sends them back to the pro shop saying we should only have 2 carts and he needed to pay the 33$ cart fee, that's all fine. Him and his son go back to pay for a 3rd cart but the grumpy power tripping old man at the counter wouldn't let them and they both ended up going home not wanting to have his son squeezed in the middle 3 to a cart on this hot day. All of us prepaid through golf now so we're stuck having to leave him behind, and he received no refund from the course for his round. This ruined a planned day for all of us involved, we could of easily went to a course closer to home... The starter said he would find us on the course to make things right because 'this was all a misunderstanding' but nothing was done. This will be our last round after having played here for years and recommended this course to countless other golfers. Very disappointed in how the shop and starter handled this situation.
