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."

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.
Nice layout, fun to play.
This course is all about ball placement. At the same time this golf course is fair and fun.
Beautiful day, beautiful course
Everything was in good shape. The course had several challenges with lots of water and sloping greens. Had a great time and will go back soon.
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!!!
Great Course
This course is very well kept. It challenges every aspect of your game on every hole. Staff were very friendly.
Tough but fair course
Nice golf course layout with undulating greens make for a challenging round of golf. Good value and well worth the trip to Summerville.
Good Value for the Summerville Area
I've played this course several times and for all the rain lately, the fairways were bone dry and the greens were a little slow. Overall, I like the course and will be back.
tough course
greens in good shape. challenging layout. maybe greens a little too undulating( if greens were more than average speed many pin placements would not work). will play again
South Carolina at it's best
I live in Jacksonville Florida and I came up here to visit some friends. I wanted to play some golf and this course was nearby. Very challenging and awesome for being my first time playing golf in South Carolina
This cousre was great
This course was in excellent condition with graet features.
Quegolfer
As mentioned in previous reviews you needed to bring your A game to play here. There is water on every hole and if you don't have a gps or course knowledge bring a dozen balls because you will need them.
We were paired up with two gentlemen from Canada and none of us had any course knowledge. The green speed was kind of uneven but in good shape.
Poor management of a tough course
Well showed up 45 mins prior to tee time to hit some balls and grab a bite. Upon arrival we were told that there was some delays getting to the course and that people were arriving late and we would have to be pushed back. No carts were available for at least 30 after our scheduled tee time, only to find out the cart staff, starter and club house were not speaking the same theme(all 30 yards apart). Carts were being given to anyone that waited at the cart barn entrance, no matter the tee time. The starter was letting anyone go no matter tee time and pro shop was delaying people leaving the shop. Unfortunately this will be my last trip to this tough little course, hope they get it turned around soon. Has been and still could be a steal of a round for those people of the low country.
smart golf
You better leave the B-game at the house and Bring the A-game. Better be smart to look at the tee maker layout. the game not suppose to be easy.
Good but tough course for avg player
The course is nice and in good shape, average golfers beware, it is tough and will humble your game if your used to the municipal or easy layouts, lots of water, tough tiered greens and roughly tight windows to land drives to stay out of hazards or give yourself a shot to green. Everything played a club longer due to wind always somehow being in your face. All in all a good challenge, def worth the discounted tee time i got!
Course difficulty too great for those playing this day
Course was in great shape including greens - seemed to be overbooked with a large number of inexperienced players that could not maintain their pace of play - after 3 hours on front nine and 20 minutes waiting to tee off at 10th tee box decided to call it a day - if your part of a foursome of buddies and don't mind killing 5-6 hours on a Friday afternoon then your ok here - otherwise pick a non -peak time to play
cart path adventure
Love the course! Green seem to be improving every day. The cart parts are in bad need of repair. Lots of roots coming up from the adundance of pines. Need to repave!
A real test!
I played in late winter, so fairways were still mostly dormant which left quite tight lies; that being said, having not played in months ( thank you to the N.E. ) this course has length and hidden hazards. Greens are elevated, so any shot not on but near green will be a blind chip to many multiple level greens, challenging for sure. Would like another opportunity when course is in full bloom, with growing grass in the fairways. A true test of accuracy and distance.
