The Club at Pine Forest
About
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."

I love this gem
Pine Forest has been a great and constant in my golf career.
Challenging Course
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good challenge. The narrow fairways and ponds make for the usual challenges, but having basically no sand traps with sand in them and the greens being burnt out on most greens, it made for an unusually tough experience.
Save the greens!!!
I’ve played this course multiple times. The course layout and design are good. Some holes can be very challenging and it could be a fun place to place if...... the greens weren’t so bad!!!! All of the greens have some sort of fungus or lack there of grass! None of them roll smoothly at all! It’s all about getting it close on the approach bc if your anywhere more than 4-6ft out it’s a complete guess on where the ball might go!! Not really worth the money solely bc of the greens, it makes the round that much more not enjoyable!
First timer
I came from San Diego so I try not to be biased. The fairways were great, the course layout was challenging and the hills made some interesting lies, but the greens were awful. I could see that they are doing their best to get them back but the winter storm definitely took its toll. Without a good layer of grass on the green I got zero backspin, and had decent roll. Had a blast overall though!
Greens Need Help!
I've played Pine Forest many times over the years and this is about the worst conditions I've seen it in. The greens are particularly in rough shape. I understand that the bad winter weather we experienced this year has impacted some of the area courses but Pine seems to have been hit more than most. Fairways and tee boxes weren't much better.
Hopefully the rain that's scheduled for this week will help the course recover and green up some. This is usually one of the better values in the area and I'll still return to play again and hope for the best regarding conditions.
The layout is challenging, the staff is awesome and the restaurant is good as well. May be time for some monetary nvestment from the owners to bring things up to par. With improved conditions, Pine Forest could easily charge the higher fees that most other area courses are charging. It's a balancing act for course owners but I'd love to see a turnaround at "Little Augusta" and even see a competitive tournament return to Pine!
Difficult course
Hard course with poor green conditions that were tough.
Every hole had obstacles—water, little hills and elevated green. No roll up to the green here.
Hard for non accomplished golfer. Good price. Greens not in good shape and undulating a lot of grade changes.
This course is normally in excellent condition
The only reason it gets a good is due to the greens having weeds on them. But for some reason most of the course i have played are in the same condition. I think the winter weather had a lot to do with the greens. If not for the greens this course would be at the top.
Had a great day
Enjoyed the round. Didn't loose as many balls as before on the water holes. Learning the course now and understanding the safe zones.
Challenging
Friendly staff, Great layout. I am down from WI. And enjoy it and play it several times when I come down. It is a great value and very challenging.
Great day.
Great day. Just traveling through looking for a regulation course at a good price. Generous fairways with some challenging approaches. Early for the greens but they play very true. Playing the course again soon.
Beautiful Course
Spring conditions. The greens were a little rough and the fairways patchy. The layout and variety of holes was great. I’d like to play here once it greens up. It’s gorgeous!
Good skill course
Par 4’s are difficult to reach in regulation so you better have a great short game. Par 3’s and Par 5’s are very fair so make up strokes here. The elevated, undulating greens are challenging. No birdies for me today since a found the water three times. All in all a great time early season.
