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."

Love Pine Forest

This si my home club and even though I just started playing about 1 year and a half ago, I see the difference betweenthe value in this course and the others. The fairways and greens are always a great value.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND HORRIBLE STAFF

i would NEVER book with this course ever again. myself and a friend were harassed by the “marshal” not once or twice but FOUR TIMES screaming at us telling us we were too slow, we needed to pick up the pace, making us show him how they golf. for $65, take your golf buddy / wife / friends out for drinks - don’t waste your money here. and if you even try to say something to the golf shop, they will refuse to let you talk to management, saying they will listen and handle things and they will always start interrupting you basically telling you how you’re in the wrong and they did nothing wrong. they don’t even let you talk, they talk and raise their voice over you. if i could give them about a million negative stars, this place would 100% get them!

Horrendous Greens and Poor Overall Condition

The worst greens I’ve ever played on, which were arguably unplayable at times. Green wasn’t trimmed in what seemed like a week and almost all of the greens had large dead spots of grass and sandy parts. Balls would skip due to the large amounts of large and there were 0 true rolls or chips all day. Cart paths were in poor condition and you could rarely drive at full speed. Pros of the course are a pretty layout with lots of water and fairly kept fairways.

Greens are in horrible shape. Don’t waste your money.

The greens on most of the holes were embarrassing. I can’t imagine the members are very happy that the greens have been destroyed due to the recent rainfall. Several greens were mostly dirt and almost unplayable. I will not return this year to pay even if they gave me a free round. There are several other courses i. the area that are in much better shape for the $59 greens fees.

Absolutely excruciating pace of play. The Marshall told us we were on time - which would imply things were moving ahead of us. But we quickly ran into a wall on hole 3. By the time we got to hole 5 we saw the issue - and group of eight (8) golfers on hole 8! This isn't the first time we have seen this on Pine Forest - and with the lack of marshals it won't be the last I'm sure. And if that didn't take the cake - we spotted a different group of seven (7) on the back nine. Our round was well over 5 hours. It is getting ridiculous. This course is in serious decline over the last few years. They appear to be making some course improvements but they also have a lot of work to do to get it up to a destination course. It's a shame since the design is good - but poor management will kill it soon I predict.
