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."

Shaggy but fun

Nice layout, greens not in best shape. 7 on the stimp meter. Friendly staff not bad for price. Solid iron game and short game recommended.

great course

If you can play using "hot deal" you wont be sorry. The first thing you hear about this course is that it is narrow. I'm not a pro, far from it. If you can hit your ball without spraying it you wont have a problem. The hardest hole on the course according to the score card is by far the best. The par 3's are challenging. If this course ever puts the sand back in the bunkers it will be a dominating course. Not sure when or why the sand was taken out. It has a lot of hills on the course which is a fun change from other course in the area.

Fun challenge with water on right every hole.

Rolling terrain, fast greens with lots of challenging breaks to test your nerves. We call it the Water Park because every hole borders water on the right.

You'll enjoy.

Low Price, Ok Course

I've played here twice. Course conditions are decent for price. Id recommend someone to come here if theyre looking to play on an 18 hole course for a low price. It is a surprisingly difficult course to play. Only complaints, the cart path is pretty tore up so it is a bumpy ride. This course also has lots of little hills, holes, and hazards so it can be a challenge to spot the ball even in the middle of the fairway.

Challenging

The course has always given me fits. Two weeks ago they had a members tournament and the flag locations were extra difficult. Hole 17 was especially awful, I am prettt sure it was illegal. It was impossible to stop the ball within 10 feet of the hole. We putted it 5 times each, we were waiting on the group in front so we had plenty of time. None of our putts stopped near the hole, I even hit the hole center cup and it still accelerated through the hole. I barely got the ball moving and it just sped up the whole time. The course layout is great and usually in good shape but the pace of play is awful. Too many hackers with no etiquette. I never understood it either, the course is not easy so bad golfers should avoid it. I am a 15 handicap, not great but no slouch.

Difficult for the wrong reasons

Every green is jacked up 15 feet in the air intentionally to make the course difficult. It feels like you're playing the same hole for 18 holes. Also every green has 5ft dips in the middle of them to give you a putt putt course feel. Difficult in all of the wrong ways

True test

We play here several times every year. I was surprised how good the greens were given the time of year. Very receptive, rolled well and nice pace. Fairways were a little bare, so iron play was a bit more challenging. That will improve with some more rain.

I always find the course to be a good test for my irons. To score here, you must hit the greens. Very rarely do you miss the green by a few feet and leave yourself an easy chip. Usually end up rolling back or away and left with a more challenging pitch.

If there is one thing that always gets on my nerves is the tee box on #5. Yeah its a nice short par 3, but there isn't a flat lie anywhere on that tee box.

Slammed with no control of play

Booked the Tee Time on golf now. Showed up.. no starter to be found. There was four groups on the first tee waiting. Went back to the clubhouse to get a refund and left. Even with the course being slammed, golf now showed tee-times available every 10 minutes for the remainder of the day.

I have played the course in the past, it's a decent course. Biggest complaint is the community using the ponds to fish. Nothing is more freighting than having young kids standing around a pond fishing--and that pond is right within your driving range.

Best course in summerville

Great course, even if it wasn't priced so low. The layout is good and the greens are interesting. Conditions tend to vary based on weather and how recent maintenance was done but even at its worst it tends to be above average. Only complaint I could weigh is that the pace of play there tends to be slow and there isn't much marshalling. I have played there a dozen times and about 80% of the time I get stuck behind a group that won't let people play through. That comes with the more laid back atmosphere I suppose. Staff is quite friendly and the food at the club house is solid.

Great Layout, lots of unseen hazards from the tee.

Great time, it's important if it's your first time here to read the hole designs on the tee box markers to see the hazards that are not in view from the tee box. I lost (2) balls with perfect drives on the first (2) holes due to unseen hazards.

The staff was friendly but the ranger was no where to be seen. The two some in front of us thought nothing of driving and at times parking their cart on the green!! Finally after four holes I couldn't take it any longer and yelled to them to get their cart off the green. Of course you can imagine how this almost came to a rumble with their return to the fairway and approached me with contempt. Luckily there was no violence except for their crude language.

If you like rubber turkey order the turkey club.

All and all, I highly recommend this course for value and hole diversity. I wish my home course in New Jersey was this interesting.

Excellence in the pines

Great course. I played off the gold tees and the fairways were in great shape. A misplaced shot did not destroy your round. Recommend you review the yardage book before play so the sneaky pond over the hill doesn't gobble up your ball.

Greens even wet played fast.

Other golfers were freindly.
