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."

Punched Greens

Hopefully the maintenance on the greens will improved their quality and condition going forward.

Better greens would make this a much better course.

Wow that was bad…

I never leave bad reviews but this time I don’t have a choice… the greens are the most awful greens I’ve seen in a long time. Not sure what’s going on but they are so bad, might as well just putt in the rough…. Fairways are decent, tee boxes are very bad as well. Nice course layout so it’s very unfortunate the course is in such bad shape. Save your money and go somewhere else unless you don’t really care about course condition.

Wow this was bad…

Don’t waste your money here. There’s a reason it’s $30, but even that is high for the shape this course is in. Greens are the worst things I’ve seen in a long time. Would have been better to putt in the parking lot…

Don’t like leaving negative reviews but this was just so bad… I didn’t expect the course to be in top shape but this was just horrendous.

Pine Forest

Played here for the first time in a long time… the course conditions were very good, until you reach some of the greens. Some of the greens were as if someone took a blowtorch to the edges of some of them. It was surprising to see as the other times I played; I do not remember the greens being that bad.

Incredibly slow pace

Round was delayed by 30 min because course didn't have enough carts. No rangers on duty and the pace was backed up on every hole round took 5 an 1/2 hours

No starter or marshall

A group of 6 was allowed to tee off in front of our group. Then another golfer joined and it ended up being 7 in the group. Called pro shop to no avail. Never had a problem before. Won't return!

Overall nice course, but...

First time playing here. Overall the course was nice and well maintained. The greens were complete garbage, as bad as if they were just aerated even though they weren’t. Tee times must have been way overbooked as well because there was a 20+ minute delay for a scheduled tee time and play was stop and go all day

Tee times were 8 min apart and there were 4 groups waiting on the 1st when it was our tee time. No ranger and the starter we didn't even speak to. Took us 5 hours to get through 15 holes and then we had to leave. Greens were slow and bumpy.

Friendly staff. Nice amenities.

We were vacationing from Wisconsin and found a nice twilight deal. Greens were in rough shape. I don’t know anything about SC golf season so maybe it’s just a tough time of year to keep the course up. The course is in a residential neighborhood but it never felt like the homes came into play which was nice. We did get stuck behind a 5some of local teenagers which was frustrating. Course layout is nice and challenging with plenty of lies to make you think.
