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."

Greatly improved course!

5th time playing here and I must say the owners ha e fo alot put the money in the right spots. Greens are virtually flawless, not spotty and hard like they used to be. Rough around the hills has been cut down and pine needles raked away. This is a very challenging course, and with it being cleaned up like it is now, there is no better value in Charleston! Playing here weekly now!

Great Lay out --bring your A game

Greens are the best I have seen them in a really long time. Fairways have grass, no excuse not to get a good lie. Green side fringe 1st cut is really good.

Have played this course in the past and until yesterday our past experience has been good. When we arrived yesterday the staff said it was very busy, the starter said the pace of play was slow, which was true, we were behind a group of walkers and another two some. Pace of play was very slow and we waited on every tee box for the group in front of us to tee off. By the time we got to 16 the two Members behind us, had had enough to drink and were flat out obnoxious and got into a verbal altrication with us, because we did not tee off quick enough for their liking! BE FORWARNED! the members spend all day there, in clubhouse and think they own the place...and some of them can be pretty rude and obnoxious!!

All the hard work is paying off!

If you haven’t played Pine Forest yet this year, you will be very impressed with all the work being done on the tree lined fairways. They have cleaned out the underbrush and around all of the ponds - looks great!

Greens are in good shape, fairways are green and as always the staff is exceptional.
