Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club

About Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Pasco County, this public track punches well above its weight class for the green fees you'll pay. The course winds through mature oak hammocks and around several large lakes that come into play on nearly half the holes, creating a surprisingly strategic test that rewards course management over pure distance. What sets it apart from other Florida resort-style courses is the elevation changes – rare for the Sunshine State – that add visual interest and challenge your club selection on approach shots. The conditioning is consistently solid, with Bermuda fairways that give you good lies and greens that roll true without being lightning fast. At 4.4 stars from nearly 600 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark for most players, and the fact that walking is permitted (unusual for many Florida courses) makes it even more appealing for traditionalists. The value proposition is excellent here – you get a legitimate golf challenge in a beautiful natural setting without the premium pricing of the area's more famous resort courses.
