About
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."

Kudos, except for the greens
Always have respected the challenge of this course with its variety of good golf holes, raised greens, and well maintained fairways. Something needs to be done with the greens however. Shaggy and bumpy greens detract from a mostly enjoyable round of golf.
Poor Green Conditions
Nice layout and course. Greens are in such poor shape there is no way to read them or have a decent put. The T boxes were not mowed or trimmed and rock hard. Was in better shape a couple years ago.
Horrible greens and terrible range
The greens were beyond horrible long shaggy grass ,aerated ,and patches of earth showing everywhere. They said they recently treated them but they were beyond bad. Unputtable and I wasted good money there..
The pace of play was crazy too. 9 holes before .you whole group quit took almost 3 hours. Terrible
Worth the drive
Off the beaten path. Beautiful course and surroundings. Challenging course. The greens were recently punched so not great putting but not bad either. Plenty of water and other obstacles to make you earn a solid score.
Would definitely golf here again.
Nice layout, but go early!
The layout is a nice challenge for all golfers, with many elevated greens and lots of water. Some of the greens were in rough shape and most are hairy and bumpy so don't count on a putt rolling true. I mention going early because the course is in a neighborhood and the residents are out and all over the course in the evening. There was someone fishing at pretty much every pond and so many random golf carts driving around. All the residents were very nice, but they were there nonetheless, you have to worry about an errant shot hitting someone that's 250 yards away and closer. If they put some money into the course, it could be very nice.
Slow slow slow pace of play
Course is in fairly good condition, greens a little rough and bare in spots. Pace of play today was slow.
Pine Forest
The course layout is great, challenging holes, and lots of water. Biggest issue was the speed and condition of the greens. Granted it had rained the day before but besides that they were incredibly slow and uneven, difficult to get a true roll.
First Time Playing Pine Forest
Nice course. tee boxes were a bit furry and in need of a manicure. Overall, this is a nice course that I look forward to playing again.
This course needs a lot of conditioning
Don’t get me wrong, $40 is a good price for the layout but the whole course was grass patches. The greens literally were like shag carpet. I was sent off at 845am as a single with about 8 groups ahead of me. Solo round took 4.5 hours. I ended up hitting three balls on each hole. The front nine was packed with golfers and they were still mowing the fairways, so I hit in to a few mowers.
Course lacked quality warning of hazards but actually the course was challenging. Sadly, you couldn’t get any action with the ball on any greens.
If I was a member, I would be terribly disappointed with course conditions.
Pace of play
Worst experience I’ve ever had at a golf course. The pace of play is terrible. It took an hour and a half to play 4 holes. After calling the pro shop to make them aware of the problem they didn’t do anything. Don’t waste your time or money.
Cool Layout rough greens
I really enjoyed the layout and design but the greens need some attention. Grass looks dead and the roll really bumpy. If the greens rolled average this course would be great.
Best kept secret!
I love this course. Challenging but playable. This course is about 35 minutes outside of downtown Charleston. Make the drive, you will not regret it.
Challenging but fair
This course is a good value. It would be much better if the greens were in better shape.
