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."

Great Course
I have played all the courses that are on GolfNow around the Summerville, Goose Creek and Moncks Corner that are in the 20-30 dollar range. Pine Forest was by far the best one of them all. It is a challenging course but it isn't outrageous. There Tee boxes are best best iv'e been on around here, there actually flat!!! The grass was in great shape and greens were perfect. I would recommend giving this course a chance, I will defiantly be going back.
Thank you for the great review! Come back to see us soon.
Not a good case to base review on
Was our first time on the course. Been wanting to play it and finally had the opportunity with a great "Hot Deal". Problem was it was a light rain, windy and 40 degrees. Paid for 18, only played 9. Wife quit because of cold after 6 holes. Rushed the last 3 in. Course layout is very enticing and want to come back in better weather to enjoy it. Being fall and raining, there were a lot of leaves and debris on the greens so hard to judge the overall condition. But definitely makes we want to come back and play this course in perfect conditions.
We are sorry about the weather conditions but we are glad you enjoyed your rounds! Come back and see us soon.
"Amazing experience for a great price"
The course was beautiful, the staff was friendly, and the price was great! I will definitely be playing this course in the months to come.
Pine Forest
Pine Forest is a fun course...in good shape...challenging course, lots of tiered greens
love this course
if you are in the Charleston sc. area you need to play this course.
I WANTED HARD
I got it. The weather was light rain all day, and this course ate me up. If you are getting better and want to be challenged by the hardest course in SC ...play this one. I made pars on 3 out of 4 par threes and on last 4 holes coming in. Cant wait to play on a nice hot day went greens are rolling, cause they are nasty!
Great Layout - Hidden water !!
First time playing the course. Loved the layout however there is hidden water on a number of holes. Not only hidden from the tee but also the approach shot. No yardage books available, no GPS on the carts. You only find out when you reach into you bag for another ball.
FANTASTIC LAYOUT...VERY SLOW GREENS
I just returned from our trip to Santee SC. I wanted to pass along some information about Pine Forest golf course.
THE GOOD
This course was beautiful. The layout was tremendous. Every hole was completely different from the next. There are tall pine trees and water on almost every hole. It was a superb design.
THE BAD
The greens were like putting on molasses. They were so slow. I asked when they were going to cut the greens and I was told that they were already cut. It was like putting on someones 5 day old beard. Putting was no fun at all. You could not stroke a putt. You had to blast it and hope that it stopped near the hole. It's a shame because it is one of the best layouts I have ever played.
Great course for the price
The course was in great shape and a very good value for the price, I just wish they would have given yardage books. Being a first time player of this course and not playing with someone who knew the layout, we had a hard time knowing where to hit it.
Good Value
The staff is always pleasant. It's a good challenging course. The condition of the course has improved immensely from last year. I will definitely recommend.
Great deal
Awesome bang for your buck. Greens were in good shape, on the slower side, but consistent. I thought the layout was fun. Good mix of tee boxes, played the tips, had some challenges with long par 5s.
Awesome!
Outstanding value and superb condition you want to see in a golf course. Very kid friendly. I'm visiting family and every time I come to Summerville I play Pine Forest. Can't say enough. Always a great golfing experience.
Tuesday morn.
Connected with others who were a great pair, good pace of play, no cart girl till the club house at the turn.
Great for a quick 18.
Enjoyed my round. Greens were slow but understand because of our resent weather. After playing # 9, there was a twosome who started on # 10. They did wavy me through but I just went to # 11. I will play again at Pine Forest.
Great course- Friendly staff
While visiting the Charleston area, we were able to play a few courses. While this course was very challenging, it was great fun! Thanks for the great day.
Had to look for myself
excellent Pro shop staff, helped with brief explanation of start area, carts, and club house.
Well maintained, you will need insight of course knowledge as there are blind holes.
Great time!
Good value, good pace for a challenging course.
Got off Foley Beach to play a very challenging course in the North Charleston area. I used the GolfNow app to get a 26% discount and a 9:08 am start time. I brought two inexperienced golfers with me but we were paired with a local player that helped us tremendously. Friendly staff, good pace of play, but breaking 90 on the first round will be a challenge even for good golfers. I am a 11 handicapper and shot a 93 but would have done better if we played a second round. I loved the challenge but the elevated bermuda greens with lots of slope made it difficult to get close for birdies and pars. The white 150 yard marker was helpful for tee shots, but a range finder would have been helpful on the water guarded par threes. The fairways were fairly wide and lush, but you would be penalized for shots in the rough with the thick 3 " bermuda grass. I loved the challenging 13th hole with the narrow green. Be prepared for long approach shots into greens. Overall a good golfing experience for the price for experienced golfers. Not really suited for the novice golfers.
played front nine only,got rained out
Awesome course,AWESOME staff, felt very welcome by all. Can't wait to get back and play all EIGHTEEN HOLES
We are so happy you liked our course! Can't wait to see you back soon.
