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."

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.
