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."

nice course, challenging
I played in late Dec, was surprised how green the course was for that time of year, its obviously well maintained. When I played it was super wet, but granted its been a rainy couple of weeks. I'm not a very experienced player, but I will say I found the course very challenging. Not a ton of bunkers, but water is in play nearly every hole, and tons of undulations particularly near the greens which makes approach shots very difficult. Fairly long course too, almost 7,000 from the black tees. Pace of place was slow the day I played, I had to wait nearly every shot. But overall, fun course and quite nice. I'll definitely play again but hope to play when its drier.
A Soggy Tract
Cart path only for play. Course was extremely wet. Greens were running fast despite all the water. Noticed many unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Lots of undulation around the elevated greens makes the approach shot challenging. This will be a great 18 holes when it dries out.
Hi marinebrewer,
Thank you for playing with us when we had a lot of rain. We are so glad you like the tract and will be back! See you soon!

Muddy greens are not consistent with huge slopes
Poor course condition lift clean and place should be in effect the greens are abnormally undulating I feel this is a very tough course to score on. The starter was a very nice 80 year old fellow and he had great sdvice. I have played many courses all over the US and this one is possibly the most sever as far as huge slopes on the greens
Hi Bart6448359, ,
Thank you for the review. We are sorry you felt the course was in poor condition. We hope you come back and we can show you how good our course actually is!

Pine Crest
Had a lovely time playing this well designed course, best weather, greens were moderately fast and difficult to read (my problem!). Only issue is that the course was still very wet in places. Otherwise very nice and great value for the $.
Hi pbeaurain,
We are so glad you had a lovely time with us! We love to hear the day was great and your liked the design. We hope you will come back when they course is not so wet.
Hope to see you back soon!

Great Course with Value
Much better than average course for exceptional price ($25 with cart this day), best deal in the Charleston area. Plenty of 3- rated courses charging more, worth the extra 10-15 minutes drive to get here. Easy checking in/out, staff was nice, electric cart, no complaints. 4+ rating seems right.
Hi cisetts,
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you gave our course a chance and drove out here. We are so glad you think we are a great value.
Can't wait to see you back soon!

Great Course
Sunny and 75 degrees. What more can you ask for in South Carolina. Perfect day for golf.
Hi mslusser,
We are so glad the weather was perfect for a round with us! We hope your game was just as great as the weather.
Hope to see you back soon!

Great Course
Enjoyed playing golf, it was a beautiful day and the course was in great condition! First time playing in South Carolina, so the grass was different than Indiana. Will play there again if in the area!
Hi donnais,
Thank you for playing with us while in SC! We are so glad for the great feedback. We hope to see you soon.

Great course!
We were on vacation and found this jewel of a course. This course has a challenging lay out with water hazards and sand bunkers on each hole. Tee boxes, fairways, greens all in excellent condition! Friendly people in pro shop. All in all great golf experience.
Hi uAQDX1159AQ,
We are so glad you played our course while on vacation and liked it so much!
We love to hear you had a great overall experience with us! We hope to see you back when you are in town.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed playing this course. Was told that water was in play on most holes. Was also told to bring extra balls. Only lost 1 ball in the water on 17th hole due to a miss hit. Will play it again when in the area.
Hi martinicat,
Thank you for coming to play with us while you were the in the area! We are so glad you didn't lose too many balls.
We can't wait to see you back next time you are in town.

Challenging course
It was m'y second visit. Realy appreciated it.
Should play it one more Time before the end of m'y vacation
Thank you for the review! We hope to see you back on the course soon!
Awesome Value
For how cheap a round is here, I don't see how anyone could write a bad review on this place. One of the best rounds I have ever played in the Lowcountry. Make sure you bring plenty of extra balls when you play here however, there is water around every turn even when you don't expect it. I will be back very often.
Extra balls are always available in the golf shop! Can't wait to see you back out on the course!
Good Value
This course is challenging but fair. The greens were average and the bunkers were inconsistent. The layout is great and makes you hit all types of shots. Water on every hole so bring extra golf balls. One of the better courses in the area.
Great value
Enjoyable course but on weekends it's a very slow pace
Thank you for the review. Hope to see you out on the course more often!
Good course, great value
Course in good shape, nice greens.
Range was closed, would have been nice to know this in advance.

Great course/Great people!
Only "complaint" that I have, and it really isn't a complaint, is that the course is tucked way back in a residential area, and is kind of hard to find. Once there, the course couldn't have been nicer! The people were very friendly, and the course conditions were great. We teed off at 8:04 a.m. and the greens were still wet with dew, and very slow. Throughout the day, the course sped up as it dried out, presenting quite a fun challenge. Some of the fairways were very forgiving, where others were bordered by water. Recommend using a g.p.s. if you have one, as some of the hazards are unseen until you're right up on them. Highly recommend this course to anyone.
Hi Adam2289997,
We are so glad you loved the course and the staff! We love that you liked the course so much! Thank you for recommending us.
We hope to see you soon!

A great value
Water, water everywhere! I played with a couple buddies when we were visiting from out of town and we certainly made a few donations to the countless water hazards that are seemingly on every hole. But the course layout was nice, the greens in excellent shape, and the setting was beautiful.
Hi natedogg04,
We are so glad you had a fun time with your buddies and played with us while on vacation.
We hope to see you back when you are in Town!

Excellent layout
Very good layout with no holes repeating themselves. Huge undulating greens. Greens putted true. Enjoyed course, but a VERY slow group of four two groups in front of us made for a long day! No marshals to help.
Hi Keydetgolfer,
Thank you for the review! We are so glad you liked the layout! We are sorry about the group in front of you. Thank you for bring it to my attention.
Hope to see you back soon!

First time here
My wife and I played here for the first time and were pleasantly surprised with the course conditions, the staff and the weather was another plus. The course could use color-coded flags for pin placements, I just hit to the middle and sometimes that put me in a bad spot for putting on greens with a lot of slopes and tiers. But overall it was a pleasant experience for us and I have already recommended this course to others.
Hi duke9492,
We are so glad you and your wife had a great time with us! we could not be happier that you enjoyed your rounds. Thank your for the feedback.
Hope to see you back soon!
