The Club at Pine Forest

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.

Moved my son to Charleston and got out for a round of golf. Spring break, absolutely perfect weather, so limited availability. Should have booked prior to the trip. Took what we could get, drove out to Summerville, but when you get A $42 deal, when everything else is booked or $90 plus, it is buyer beware. In an upscale community, houses in the 800K range, a nice and challenging layout, but the course is in terrible condition. I've seen asteroids that had less bumps and craters than these greens. And these green had serious slopes, similar to the Castle Course in St. Andrews if you've ever been there. Limited fairway grass, approaches were off hardpan. In spite of this the course was packed. The golf boom is a real thing. Needs a new owner, shut down for a year to re-grass the entire course. In good condition this would be a 4 star course.

I enjoyed the topography and shape of the course but in its current conditions it is tough to muster anything positive.

The fairways have not grown in yet and the sparse dormant grass present made it tough to score a good shot.

The greens are blotchy and bare in spots and prevents you from reading, let alone making, a putt.

The previous days rain forced cart path only conditions which was definitely warranted, but the condition of them is horrible.

All in all this is a neighborhood course that the neighborhood forgot about…. Best of luck, but I doubt I’ll return.

All fairway were brown and hard like hitting off a road. Greens were spotty with grass. Not the best shape.

Lots of hills, sand and water makes this course challenging but with hole management a satisfying round can be had. Younger legs to walk the course. Cart paths and sign directions are spot on.

Best value in Summerville area. Course/greens were a bit wet/rough, but that's expected in January. Staff are friendly and helpful. Other amenities/features...range, putting green, clubhouuse, pool, etc...are solid. Note...range was still closed in Jan...don't know whenm it will open. Very walkable...greens and tees are much more connected than other neighborhood courses (you know, those where you have to drive 1/4 mile to get to next green. I'll be back

I enjoy playing this course when I’m in the area. Besides being the best price, the course is quite a unique layout, forcing you to hit to mostly elevated, undulating greens. As an older player who now hits it lower and shorter, this poses some real challenges. Nevertheless, I enjoy the challenge.

The greens were soft and littered with unrepaired ball marks. But they putted true enough. The rest of the course was in decent enough condition given the season. I found I could still play the ball down and only picked up mud when I hit foul balls into the rough, especially around the greens.

I’d recommend anyone play this course, if only to experience the interesting layout. And, while not exactly cheap, it is the best deal in the Charleston/Summerville area. Staff are good, too.

Was able to snag a Hot Deal for the course and was glad to get out and play. Due to recent heavy rain, the course was very wet, but playable.Would definitely recommend and would play again.

The condition of this course is completely pitiful. The greens are not even greens. It’s like putting on fringe. The tee boxes are just as bad. The rates they charge for a course in that condition is outrageous. I know it’s winter but I just played Santee National last week and the conditions of that course were amazing and they still charge less than this place.

If you have an extra 30 minutes , drive to Santee National and avoid these horrible course conditions and overcrowded course.
