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."

Favorite

I play this course often. Good prices are usually available. Course is challenging (mistakes will be marked with a splash) but an overall great layout. Course slightly tamer than a few years ago. Condition good except late June greens below average. Bunkers good condition. The fox squirrels add entertainment. Remote from Charleston, but a great value for Summerville and North area residents.

Good course with a few blind shots where you're not sure where the water line ends. A lot of water to the right and homes to the left.

Beautiful and challenging course

Challenging yet easy to play this course has holes that work both left and right into greens that test your short play. Greens vary from small, that require an accurate approach, to large and undulating that will test your putter play. This course is in great shape and I will be playing again.

Great Course, especially for the cost

Very well maintained fairways. Be prepared to lose some balls if you've got an undisciplined driver, due to water in some inconvenient areas, especially on the front. I loved the course, and will hopefully be back. Greens were a little on the slow side, but well-maintained and beautiful.

just average course and below average condition

Good layout but conditions were not good. Fairways and rough were weedy and thin or no grass in many spots. Greens were just ok. They were slow but were pretty consistent. There is water on the right of almost all holes and you could not see the edges from most tee boxes. The price was reasonable for the conditions. There was a good crowd. Hopefully they will pub he money back in the course to improve the conditions.

Course is in great shape

I love everything about this course, challenging and very well maintained. Only beef is that around the same time just about every evening a group of 6-8 guys goes out and plays together very slowly and refuse to let anyone play through, even a single. Had another golfer mention to me that was the reason he won't join the course.

Worthy of its 2008 Charleston Area Golf Course of the Year

Pine Forest Golf course, a semi-private golf club, is part of a tennis golf course community with the course meandering through a housing community. The houses are tucked away in the pines making golf the priority! Good test of golf for all levels. From the tips the 6905 yd. course challenges the golfer for every shot. Even from the forward tees (4990 yds) every shot must be thought out. Course is well maintained. This course received the 2008 Charleston Area Golf Course of the Year and deserved its award .

Nice place!!!

1st time and wish their winter hadn't been so bad. Over all the course was in very good shape for the winter they had. I was paired up with a couple and the ladies brother. Very nice people from here. The greens were a little bumpy, but it's early in the season and they will improve. Very nice layout..

Great golf course

Great golf course. Lots of water and sand. Hit it straight and you'll be ok. Waiver very far off either right or left and you're in trouble. Great staff and great price. The greens were slow when we played and they are dimpled with pitch marks. They were a little bouncy.
Overall I will continue to play there. Great course!!!!

Great till rain out

First time I had played this course since leaving three years ago. They have taken some bunkers out and let grass grow in which makes it more manageable, which in my opinion was a great thing. Used to be humiliating for higher handicappers in the past. Very playable now, but elevated greens and remaining bunkers along with slopes on greens still present a fair game. Rained out after 14, but will be back soon to tackle the last four.

Great Course for the money

Outstanding course for beginners as looking as you like water holes. Course has a number of holes with water and not many with sand. Pace of play was great and did not feel rushed from those behind.

The Hidden Gem Out of No Where

I couldn't believe how beautiful the golf course was. Excellent course conditions and definitely NOT easy to score low. However, it is fair for all levels of play and you can utilize whatever strengths of your golf game to score decent. Overall, it is a great course you absolutely should play!!!
