About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6905 yards
Slope 138
Rating 73.9

The 18 semi-private holes at Pine Forest wind through the tall Summerville pines with numerous live oaks, dogwoods and a lake system thrown in for good measure. With an equal balance of straightaways, doglegs and elevation changes, this course is nicely balanced, with challenges and fun in store for golfers of all levels. Rental clubs and electric carts are available.

At 6,905 yards with a 138-slope rating, Pine Forest lives up to its name, as the course has numerous barriers of tall Summerville pines to cause problems for an errant shot. The Bob Spence design also makes use of water to add to the difficulty of some holes. It's a semi-private course, and they've named each hole, with No. 12 being known as "Little Augusta" while No. 15 is "Wastelands."

Overall the course was great and well maintained. My only complaint was in took just over 5 hours to finish because the course was so busy. The marshall did try to speed things up though. The greens were slow but in good shape and well maintained. Fairways are narrow and unforgiving if you struggle with accuracy. Overall I will play here again and would recommend it to others.

Solid Value

This is challenging course but fair. Great conditions considering it’s now winter, the greens are in solid shape. Some areas are under repair but that shows they are investing and taking good care of things

Average Course

Pine Forest is very average. The course is certainly in better condition on some days and worse on others, but I've never played a day where the course was in great condition. Staff is extremely friendly, and fellow golfers/members are too, I do believe the cost is pricey for what it is.

0/5 😂

This course is a joke. There’s huge chunks of unmowed sod on the greens and un-manicured TEMP holes in the middle of par 4’s. Clay, weeds, trash experience. Played it for $35 but wouldn’t come back if it were free, I promise. Pay a little more and save yourself 5 hrs of bummer. Avoid at all costs. Cheers.

Course had a lot of rain, fairways drained and played well. Standing water in bunkers. Some greens were damaged and not yet repaired. Due to all of the rain, green speeds were much slower than normal. Golfed with a great group!
