The Club at Pine Forest
Rating Snapshot
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."

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.
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!

Great course
Great experience. Fairway just tight enough for reward and punishment.
Hi ChrisRichardson,
We are so glad you had a great experience with us! We love the feedback.
We hope to see you back soon!

I wouldn't go there again.
I used GolfNow to buy the green fees. It was not easy to get the tee time that was listed. When I got to the course the person was to charge me tax on top of the 30.40 fee listed on my confirmation. I said no and she called Golf Now with all of waiting to play golf.
The women's tee were uneven with long grass. Many of the fairways were soggy and many of the greens were bumpy.
Hi u131277760,
We are very sorry for your experience at the course. We want to thank you for bringing that taz issue to our attention. Tax is due at the course but we will do a better job starting that on the conformation email.
We do hope you will give us another chance, please email directly to discuss further, CharlotteTeeTimes@aol.com

Solid Track
Yesterday was my first time playing this course. It provides a different layout than what I'm typically used to playing.
Quite a few greens are uphill, both water hazards and sand traps surround certain greens, and holes are designed with a more advanced player in mind.
I really enjoyed the track and the price was great!
I look forward to getting to play here again!!
Hi John4446507,

Pine Forest Golf Course
Course in great shape. A challenging course.
Cart paths very bumpy. Greens in great shape.
Plan your shots or you will find the water.
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you love the course and think it was challenging. We hope to see you back soon
Not bad....
First time playing this course. There is A LOT of water in play. Not a particularly challenging course but having never played it before an not knowing exactly where the water was made it difficult. Some of the greens were banged up but overall it was a nice course. Will try and check it out again next time I'm in Charleston.
Thank you for playing with us while in town! We are you glad you found the course fun. Come back soon !
Good course
The fairways were good and the holes challenging. Some greens need some work. If the greens improve I'll be back! The price was very fair for 18 with a cart.
Thank you for the review. We are sorry that you did not think the greens were up to par. We hope you will give us another chance soon!
Great course
Love playing here. The greens were rough but still a great time! The cart path is getting rough but that shouldn't change your opinion about this course!
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you love playing our course. We hope to see you back soon!
Excellent Course, but a Bumpy Ride
The course is well-maintained and was in excellent condition. That being said, a couple of things that can definitely be improved are the cart paths and the score card. Anything over a slow walk on the cart paths, and you're in for a very bumpy ride. To say the cart paths need to be repaired/repaved would be an understatement. The scorecards need to be printed with some diagram or illustration of the individual holes. It's great that the holes have names, but that doesn't help someone playing the course for the first time without a GPS or a sky caddy. Recommend either GPS 's on the carts or spend a few dollars more on the score cards. Luckily, I had played the course before and could advise my playing partner . Other than that, I would definitely play the course again, especially if they hire a beverage cart girl for the weekdays.
Thank you for the review and the suggestions. We will take these into consideration! We are glad you think our conditions are great. We hope to see you back soon!
Extremely slow play
Plan on 5 hour plus round. No ranger. Manager conceeded pace would be slow and did very little to improve pace of play. The course allowed 5 somes. Otherwise, this could be a good course to play.
We are very sorry about the pace of play that day. We would like you play with us again, to make this up to you please email directly for a promo code, CharlotteTeeTimes@aol.com
don't miss this one
Great course with some challenging greens. Really fun to play with varied distance from five tees. Ladies get a nice advantage so they can enjoy the course. Will definitely play again. Very pleasing to the eye. You will want to play this one again and again.
Thank you for the great review! We would love to have you back again and again.
Very resonably priced!
First time playing, but very nice course. Water in play on almost every hole. Had punched the greens in the previous week or two, so they weren't fantastic, but overall the course was in good shape. Will play again.
Thank you for the review. Our greens healed! We cant wait you have you back
This course has great greens
Loved the challenge with the putting greens, They are very fast. Really have to think where you wanna put the ball on the green.
Thank you for the review! We are so glad you loved the challenge. We can't wait to see you back soon
Good Day
Highly Recommended and very Challenging, the staff was very nice and helpful.
We are glad you enjoyed your overall experience at the course. We hope to see you back with your friends!
Very fun and challenging!
Nice course! Lots of water carries and your second shot on par 4 s has to be accurate!
Thank you for the review! We are so happy that you think our course is great. Hope to see you back soon!
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!
We are so glad you find out course challenging and think our conditions are great! We love having you at the course, hope to see you this weekend.
good course with a great price
I was visiting from Michigan and had the Pleasure of playing this awesome course. Staff was friendly and the course was pretty and tough. Will definitely play again when I come back down.
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you chose our course to play while on vacation. We can't wait to see you back
Toughest course in the Lowcountry
The course is greening up and looking better. Pace of play is always an issue because of the high slope and hackers.
We are so glad that you think the course is getting back to great conditions. We hope to see you back soon!
