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."

Very challenging layout

This is the second time pace of play has been an issue on this course. We waited on the tee box on almost every hole. There was a frost delay the day we played to be fair, but overbooking was the problem previously.

Great layout but wet

The layout is great. There is a fair amount of water but still has room to play. The greens were so so. Not a course you can play chip and run on. Always wet around the greens.

Fasten your seatbelts

Getting between holes was a journey similar to riding the waves in a small boat in a hurricane.

Nice course

Cart paths are not driver friendly. Had to push the cart up any/all inclines. First time playing, a lot of undulations on fairways, don't read too much into the greens. More water than expected. Overall enjoyed the round, somewhat challenging.

It had rained the day before, so the course was a little mushy in quite a few places. The greens however, were in excellent shape.

Tough, challenging course

Course is in good condition. Tough, challenging course with long par 4s, undulating greens, and bunkers. Cart paths are very bumpy. So, drive slow or ride roughs.
