Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club - South Course
About
Although it is tucked away among rolling green hills and mature oaks, Lake Jovita Country Golf & Country Club is conveniently less than 30 minutes north of Tampa. The club offers two championship golf courses, the North and the South. The South Course, the original track at Lake Jovita, has a more traditional design than the other course. It features generous fairways and velvety-smooth greens. The layout weaves through lakes and ponds that into play on several holes. The course was built to fully utilize the hilly terrain, incorporating a variety of elevation changes throughout. The par-5 11th hole even features a 94-foot drop from tee to green, which is the largest natural elevation change in the entire state. It is one of Florida's "must-play" courses

Course is in immaculate shape
Haven't played this course in over a year and it was in mint condition everything was perfect. The greens were lightning fast and true the fairways were beautiful. I'll definitely be back I just hope the price comes down a little bit. They're having the us open qualifier there in the coming months.
Great course
The course was in very good condition. Greens were fast. They had winter seeded with rye and you couldn’t drive carts on the fairways, only cart paths and roughs.
Not from the area, but course was recommended.
Was very disappointed. Extremely fast greens almost to a point of being a joke. Lots of gimmick holes. No rain but tee shots were plugged into the fairway.
When I got to the course found out it was cart path only because of reseeding. That happens, just bad timing on my part. Not worth $80 price , could play better track at half the price.
Enjoy elevation changes
Very good course conditions fast greens good bunkers challenge your game.
Despite the massive amounts of rain we received on Friday 11/5, our round of golf was barely impacted on Sunday 11/7. Fairways were dry (but soft in some areas), there were no cart path restrictions, and the greens were very quick and true. Always love playing the Jovita courses - can be a little pricey in the fall/winter months, but always very well manicured and the staff are very friendly.
Overbooked
Showed up early to learn no carts available due to 3 tournaments that morning. No offer to drive us to range to fill time and teed off 20 minutes late waiting for cart. 95 degrees out not walking. Got rained out after 6 holes and went in to request 9 hole raincheck and told tough luck because we booked through golf now. Not a good customer experience. I play 1-2 times a week so disappointed they feel that way
