The Club at Pine Forest
Rating Snapshot
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."

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
Best course I’ve played.
This is a challenging yet fun course. Worth every penny to play.
Review
They just aerated the greens, but otherwise it was in good shape.
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.
Do they have a greenskeeper?
Worst grassless greens I have ever paid to play on. Great layout that some money and a greenskeeper could turn into a terrific course.
Slowest, bumpiest greens I have seen in years!
Decent layout, but horrific greens. Slow and bumpy. Not worth the money — even on the “Hot Deal”.
Test of your Golf Game
Loved the layout of the course. The course made me map out my shots and have interesting decisions to make. Played irons more to set up water shots.
Greens were horrible but over seeding is to blame. It happens but when the greens come back this is a must play course. Enjoy
Pine Forest is one of the best layouts in the area. Tee to green very nice, but greens need some help.
Pine cones
Nice course a bit tough due to length and elevated greens. I enjoyed the pine lined fairways and giant pine cones.
Good place to practice your GIR
I have played Pine Forest a lot over the years. Every year, the course seems to be slipping downhill. While they have put money in the Pro Shop and Clubhouse, the course itself needs attention. The greens are in bad shape with weeds. I missed nearly every putt from within 6 feet because the ball bounced like it was in a pachinko machine. I stopped keeping score. It sucks when you pay $45 for a round and not get even decent greens. Also, the members can be a bit self righteous. Maybe they should just go private.
