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."

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.
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!

Challenging Course-Geen location is the key
I've played this course regularly over the last 15 years. I have always found the course challenging as I am a 20 handicap. The fairways are ample even if you are not the straightest hitter. The water does come into play on most of the holes but if you control your game, the water is easily avoidable. On several of the holes, I mishit, thinking I was in trouble, only to find out that I was not in a bad position with a decent follow up shot. The greens are the real challenge on this course. There are many multi-tiered greens and the key to scoring is where you position yourself on the green relative to the flag. It doesn't take a lot of course knowledge, you just need to think about where you need to be. My round was mostly pars and bogeys with birdies and doubles sprinkled in. The course condition was great, except due to the lack of rain, the track was hard. Really enjoyed the round.
Hi kevlar10,
We are so glad you have been so loyal! Thank you. We are so glad you love the course and find it challenging.
We can not wait to have you back.

Good condition
I play here on a regular basis but had not been here in five months. Earlier in the year the greens were in horrible condition. Now the greens are green. They are slow but roll nice.
Hi jfm341,
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you play with us a lot. Thank you for coming back out again! We are so glad to hear our greens impressed you.
Can not wait to have you back.

Super Challenging, Fantastic for the Money!
I'm normally in the mid 80s, but not at Pine Forest. Super tough track with a LOT of water and trouble. I'm ready to go back for some much needed redemption. For the price, I don't think you can do much better in the low country!
Hi mattbenton,
We love you think the course is challenging! We are glad you played with us and thought we were a great price for low country!
Hope to see you back soon!

Hardest course in charleston

beverage carts
I have not played a course this year yet in the Charleston area that did not have a beverage cart and drinking water on only a few holes. Some of the water that was available was warm and not very refreshing in 95 degree weather. Sandwiches in the bar were stale and old. Some greens were under repair and bushy.
Hi george8253,
We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your round with us. We are very sorry that your sandwich was stale and the water was warm.

Nice Course!
I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Pine Forest. I was visiting the area for the weekend and found this place online and I was impressed. The course is challenging and has wonderful scenery as it surround by beautiful homes. The course was in great shape. You have to stay in the fairway as the rough is high as you can have a hard time finding you ball if you're not in the fairway. Greens were in excellent shape. I was paired up with some guys and we had fun! I wouldn't hesitate to play there again11
Hi eram48,
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad to hear that you liked the greens and found the course challenging.
We are so glad you had fun with the group and hope to see you back soon!

Tough track---like it
I have played here a bunch of times...its a touch course. All greens are elevated so going for the par 5's in 2 is a big risk reward. It is a very fair layout. Greens were a tad slow (punched 10 days ago) but they are coming back nicely. Plenty of tvs in bar for sports watching afterwards. Good place to pl;ay if you are in the area.
Hi mark5174291,
We are so glad to hear you love the course and have been here several times.
We hope to see you back soon to play and see you in the bar after!
