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."

Needs More Effort on Making It Golfer Friendly!

No indication of flag position on greens. Too many mounds and water incursions into the fairway. Grass not really growing yet in fairways. Grass on greens is very blotchy and bumpy with different varieties of grass starting to grow. Tee positions not very friendly for seniors or women.

Great layout and staff, greens need work

Played the course three times while on vacation. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very good layout with trees, water and mounding. Greens are average at best, but still a good value

Good Course But Pace of Play was Awful

I played The Club at Pine Forest a couple weeks ago and it was a nice course. I had played it a couple times before and will say it is a very challenging course. It makes you have to be very precise, especially when approaching the greens. It is a very reasonably priced course, especially compared to other courses in the area.

My one gripe is the pace of play. It was a packed Saturday but it took my brother and I 5 hours to complete a round. There are groups on every hole and you wait 5 minutes to hit one shot. They good really use a ranger keeping the pace at a reasonable rate.

Overall, good course. Would play it again, but probably not on a day like the weekend.

Early in the week. Course could have used a little mowing. I expect slow play, but some definite beginners playing without etiquette. For this time of year, course was in great shape.
