Day 49 - 100 days, 100 courses (Wednesday, May 1, 2019)

How do you get upset about playing golf on a picturesque course with the sun shining, and you shout the temperature (87 in both counts)?

I was playing alone behind 5 foursomes so it was slow. The guys in front kept apologizing. I told them everything was just fine, that I was just out there enjoying a beautiful day.

After 13 holes Norm caught up with me and we had an enjoyable few holes where I learned about the Lake Jovita community.

Note: 1 lost ball.

This is a top notch facility all around. The course layout is awesome and scenic. You get rolling hills, large oaks and many shots that must carry water or a marsh. The greens are large, firm and fast. Another benfit is the fairways are wide so it is not too difficult.

Booked our tee time on golfnow and showed up at the pro shop. Big guy behind the counter was rather unfriendly and stand offish, some would say rude and arrogant. People stood in the pro office talking rather than serving staff. Cart staff picked our clubs up and the starter was friendly but did not give us any advice or help. Our group was very disappointed with the condition of the course. We had heard many positive reviews about the condition. The tee boxes are waful, worth about a $15 course. Fairways ok but the greens all looked worn out and very patchy. We will not be coming out to play again at Jovita.

The management treats golfers poorly, they make you feel like you are just another dollar and are a bother.

The Lake Jovita Golf Courses are nice, but why go there and try to have a nice time if you're treated like a second class citizen? They try to crowd too many in too short of time on the course resulting in 5 to 6 hour rounds which are no fun.

Could be a fine place, but as managed, I can't recommend.

A favorite facility, both courses are challenging yet fair, have never found it in poor condition, greens are always some of the fastest in the area. A real treat to play.

There are TWO courses at Lake Jovita: South by Tom Lehman and Kurt Sandness...frequent PGA Tour School venue...and North by Kurt Sandness...a bit higher course rating. Both courses have four sets of tees ranging from 7200+/- to 5200+/- yds. Phone: 352-588-9200 Address: Dade City
