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."

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

Challenging but a must play

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.

Decent course...great value

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

Best Bang for your Buck

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.

Great to Play on New Year's Eve

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.

Don’t waste your money

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.

Nice course

My wife and I drove 2 and a half hours down from Myrtle beach and we weren't disappointed. For fall golf the course was in great shape. Fun track, I felt like it was forgiving if you missed a tee shot. Greens a bit small and very slopey . Staff were very nice

Course was Very Nice, but challenging

The course was set in a beautiful part of the SC lowcountry and was definitely one of the hardest courses I've played, but I'm just starting out. It was a great afternoon, the staff we interacted with were very nice and welcoming. When my game gets better, I'll definitely check this out again for a comparison.
