What to Expect

Transportation, timed to the tee sheet.

Lake Jovita sits in the rolling hills of eastern Pasco County, higher and more dramatic terrain than most of Central Florida, with two well-rated courses and a steady calendar of amateur championships. Stay-and-play groups and FSGA competitors are its regular traffic — and both travel better on a pre-arranged chauffeured transfer than a country-road rental after a flight.

  • Met inside the terminal with a name board
  • Clubs and luggage loaded for you
  • One vehicle for the whole group
  • Return leg timed to your flight home

Airport → Course Transfers

From the gate to the first tee.

Tampa International is the main gateway at roughly 45 minutes, with Orlando a comparable option from the east. We track your flight, meet you at the gate, and run the leg out to Dade City so the round or the tournament day starts on schedule.

  • TPA airport pickups ~45 minutes out
  • MCO covered from the east
  • Host-hotel shuttles for tournament weeks
  • Flight tracking so we are there when you land

Groups, Clubs & Luggage

The whole foursome, together.

Stay-and-play buddy trips come to play both the South and North courses over a couple of days, and we keep the whole party and their clubs together. Amateur championship weeks add family and competitor moves that we time to early tee sheets.

  • Executive SUVs for smaller groups with clubs
  • 14-passenger Sprinter vans for larger parties
  • Group Sales–scale moves for outings of 21+
  • Off-property dinners arranged during the stay

The Chauffeured Round-Trip

No one drives after the last round.

A chauffeured round-trip means nobody drives an unfamiliar country hour after the round, and the run out through the Pasco hills becomes part of the trip rather than dead miles. We time the return to your flight or the awards ceremony.

  • No one driving after the last round
  • Discreet, privacy-tinted executive vehicles
  • Early-tee-time and awards-day timing
  • Standing account option for repeat visits

Lake Jovita Car Service — FAQ

How far is Lake Jovita from Tampa airport?
Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club is in Dade City, in the rolling hills of eastern Pasco County, roughly 45 to 55 minutes from Tampa International (TPA) and about an hour from Orlando International (MCO). It sits in some of the highest terrain in the region, which is part of its appeal — and the reason a pre-arranged chauffeured transfer is the easy way in rather than an unfamiliar country drive after a flight.
Which courses are at Lake Jovita, and who designed them?
Lake Jovita has two 18-hole courses. The South course was designed by Tom Lehman with Kurt Sandness, and the North course is a Sandness design. Both play through unusually rolling Central Florida terrain, and the club has earned a Golf Digest 4.5-star rating — a genuine draw for visiting golfers looking beyond the flatter coastal layouts.
Does Lake Jovita host tournaments?
Yes. Lake Jovita is a frequent venue for Florida State Golf Association state and amateur championships, so competitive weeks bring players and families who need reliable ground transportation from TPA, MCO and the surrounding hotels. We run airport transfers and daily shuttles to the club, timed to early-morning tee times and awards ceremonies.
Can you handle a stay-and-play group at Lake Jovita?
That is a natural fit. Lake Jovita offers stay-and-play packages, and buddy groups come to play both courses over a couple of days. We keep the whole party and their clubs in one vehicle — executive SUVs for smaller groups, 14-passenger Sprinter vans for larger parties — and arrange the airport legs and any off-property dinners during the stay.
Is Lake Jovita private or open to visitors?
Lake Jovita is a semi-private club, so visiting golfers can generally play through stay-and-play packages, guest access, or tournament entry, while members enjoy full privileges. Because it draws a mix of amateur competitors and out-of-town buddy trips, the arrival is worth doing right — a discreet chauffeured transfer from the airport straight to the tee.
