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."

NEEDS WATER

Course was hard as a rock. Needs some watering. Not all the grass was in yet and won't come in unless they water and water a lot. Really nice layout but the course just needs some TLC. Played it last year and it was even worse. Sad to see a course like this fall to cutting corners on care and upkeep.

Rough winter

Opened our golf trip with a round here, mainly because of its proximity to the Charleston airport. The course wasn’t in its best shape, like many in the area, due to early warm weather, followed by freezing temps. Fairways and rough were both pretty dead, and some greens were beat up, but the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. Took about 5 hours for our threesome to get around, but it was a very busy Saturday morning. The green complexes were difficult, but were very fun to play. I’m excited to get back to this course after some good weather and give it a proper test.

Enjoyed our round had fun

The course is very challenging. Can't wait for everything to green and thicken up a bit. It winds around a very beautiful housing neighborhood. Would definitely go back and give it another try.

Nice challenging course

Great course but grass both fairways and greens were not in the best of shape because Spring has not been favorable yet to the grass. I would like to try again in May. The staff both at the pro shop and in the bar/lounge were extremely accommodating and friendly.

Nice course in town

Second time hitting the Club at Pine Forest. The staff are friendly and make you feel at home. Greens took winter hard but I am sure spring will return the to greatness. Way to much water on back 9, well for me at least, lost 11 balls out there. They are swimming with the turtles.

Not busy, guess early in season.

Was a nice 3 hours for 18.

Tough, challenging course!

This is where to play for a challenging round of Golf! Undulating and guarded greens. Must be accurate with your drives; otherwise trouble.

COURSE NEEDS SOME WORK AND GOOD WEATHER

This was our first time playing this course. It needs some work. The grass needs to grow in on the fairways and greens. Hopefully as the season goes on the course will improve. Did enjoy the layout - lots of water. I think for the price for the area it's not a bad deal.

Extremely challenging

This course was very challenging because it is tight and the greens are very fast and undulated. The greens were difficult to read and they were in great condition. I definitely would play again and recommend.

Wet but playable

This Summerville SC course had just been soaked with a couple of days of rain and more was forecast later in the day. The pro shop was very proactive in making sure as a first timer there I knew my way around and seemed genuinely glad to have us on the course even with a GolfNow tee time.A local with tee time behind us offered to play with us to help guide us through the we course but since it was our 31st anniversary we declined. Lots of water around the course and we lost probably more of it share of balls to tough playing conditions and lack of course knowledge. I would definitely love to play this course again under better conditions. Lots of undulating fairways and greens like alot of coastal courses so dryer conditions are pretty crucial for a decent score, but still a fun day. The clubhouse was clean and the hotdogs were good. The greens were in good shape for the most part but slow due to wetness.
