Lake Jovita's golf amenities include a highly rated Golf Shop (Top 100 in America by Golf Business World) and a world-class fifteen-acre practice facility with bunkers and chipping area, and a one-acre putting green.. The FSGA has used Lake Jovita for Championships, FJT Tournaments and USGA qualifiers for many years.
