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."

One of the Best

As a 90's golfer I always find Pine Forest very challenging. But the course is in great condition for early Spring, and the staff and facilities are top notch. I will keep coming back, at least until I par number 10!

The course is greening up and looking better. Pace of play is always an issue because of the high slope and hackers.

the never ending nine

We booked 18 holes. When we got there we could see the group in front of us leaving the green. Though it took the two of use fifteen minutes to play the first hole, the group in front of us still had not hit their second shot. The kept lining up like they were going to hit iron shots two hundred yards on to the green and going no where. At first we assumed the course was super busy, which it was, but after a few holes we realized these chumps were just that bad. We waited an average of at least 10 minutes to tee off every hole, even after a third joined. We were never asked if we wanted to play through, there was no ranger, and no bev cart. Despite groups going out every ten minutes and temps near seventy. We stopped after nine because it took three and a half hours. I have never had problems like that anywhere else.

Nice Course, but Pace Too Slow

Stopped to play a round by myself, hoping to get 18 played in a reasonable time. No starter and no other players in sight when I hit the first tee. Looks promising, or so I thought. At the third hole, out of nowhere, I have another single player breathing down my neck. Not wanting to be rushed, I let him play thru. After that I encounter a single walking, a twosome taking forever looking for balls in the woods, and several other slow groups. Finally I had to skip 10, 11, and 12 just to get some breathing room. What started as a nice round had gone south because of all the distractions. It's a really nice course, but they need to have a starter controlling the spacing of players. I started at 230pm on a Wednesday, and didn't expect a logjam. Also, if you hit into the woods, take a quick look for your ball, then drop one within a minute if you don't find it. I could have written "War and Peace" while some clowns in front of me looked for their balls. One more thing.....no radios allowed on golf carts. Other players don't want to listen.

A Great Course for a Great Price

I started playing golf less than a year ago, but have fallen in love with the game since. This course has definitely played a role in that. Great facilities, helpful personnel and a distinct lack of snobbishness from players and staff makes Pine Forest a great place to learn the game, or to challenge yourself to improve. Great clubhouse and a great course. Lots of water, so be sure to check the signs and scorecards. The only thing I have ever not liked about this place, is that 3 times that I've gone to play a round, someone has bungled the maintenance of the driving range so that it is unusable. For the advanced, maybe that's not a problem, but for a novice like me, I need to get in all the swings I can before a round. So call ahead to check on the range. Love The Club at Pine Forest!

A Quickie

When I got to the course at 8am I realized that I was the first golfer on site. The day was scheduled for rain, and no one else showed up early. As a result I played a two and a half round and was having breakfast at 11am. Had a ball.
