The Club at Pine Forest

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!

The greens in very bad shape, pace of play was very slow…water on the fairways

Greens were the worst greens I ever played in my life. Left after nine holes cause they were dead and holes punched without filling in with sand

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.

The Geeens are in very bad shape. The pace of play was horrible. Had a family of 5 with a kid.

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.

You better have 5 hours to play a round (6 on the weekend). No starter, no course marshall, groups of 5 or more. Its out of control.

It is what you pay for so at $30/round I shouldn’t be surprised. The course needs water with dry fairways and blotchy greens. The layout was interesting and would have been more enjoyable with grass on the fairways. Bunkers were ok but not maintained.

The Club at Pine Forest has been declining in quality for the last 7 years. We play here fairly often - and each time the overall experience is worse than before. While they are attempting to make course improvements - they appear to create more damage to the overall course than they improve. They fix the cart paths but damage irrigation systems, causing flooding. With no course marshalls to help manage play (and starters only on weekends and holidays) - rounds often take more than 5 hours; even on weekdays. Weekend play is excruciating; rounds often approach 6 hours to play. Calls to the clubhouse to report 5 or 6 player groups are met with lackluster response, if any. The clubhouse only offers food Fri-Sun and the hours of operation appear to fluctuate depending on staffing. You cannot depend on the availability of food at any given time. Overall - its hardly worth the effort to play here.

Love the course... a little work has been done around some of the greens and they're looking good! A great value and a challenge from any tee

Greens are in very rough shape. Bare spots and patches of grass make some of them unplayable. No course layout or map on the carts or scorecard, so playing the course for the first time was very difficult. Hit into water a few times only because I didn't know it was there.

The greens were horrible. Very tough yes, very fun and challenging and beautiful. But the state of the greens was really sad to see. Bumpy and patchy. But the staff was awesome and the fairways were good as we start to warm up. Everything was really awesome and will come back next time I’m in Charleston with the hopes the greens are in better shape

If you enjoy A TON of water and a 5 1/2 hour round, round, you will LOVE this place.
