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."

Accuracy is the key to fun here

This course has a lot of undulation from the fairways to the greens. Placement will help you enjoy your round, not length. The shape of the greens can be a bit inconsistent this time of year, but once you figure out the pace you can make some putts. Friendly staff with a facility that can satisfy any of your needs.

Greatcourse for this price

Although the fairways were soaked in spots the course was in great condition for this time of year. Greens rolled true. The only negative would be I ;lost 2 balls that had to be plugged in the bermuda rough near the greens. I know they had to be plugged because I found other balls that were plugged that people gave up on.

Great course, very strategic but fair.

Not an exceptionally long course but it does have some demanding holes. More important than length is course management. The layout provides a variety of challenges from strategically placed water to undulating greens.

i totally enjoyed this course and will play it again and again.

challanging course, lot of water, narrow fairways

Nice challenging course with need to hit the ball straight. Pleasant surroundings, some long holes especially some of the par 4's. Course is in nice shape and maintained well. Enjoyable to play.

Nice, good shape

The course is in better than average condition. The course is playable for all by the tee box set ups and layout. I find the course challenging. The only downfall is the greens are a bit too slow. They are in good shape but a hair furry ad slow.

Nice layout

Challenging, but fun golf course. Lots of water and the greens have a lot of slope to them. A nice change from most of the normal flat courses around the area.

The course was in good shape and well maintained. I have played this course several times and have always enjoyed the challenge. The course is fairly long versus other courses in the area.

northerner review

fairways and greens were in very good condition. most mens tee boxes were in good condition. the women's tees were a bit on the rough side, not a lot of flat lie tee shots. the rough i guess was traditional southern rough(?) we lost 5 balls that should have been in play, but the balls sunk down into the rough we couldnt find them. (i know, i know...why did we hit our balls into the rough)
staff was super courteous. we did not take advantage of the club house after our 18, but it did look better than nice. the golf carts were basic, no gps. there were no course booklets available for purchase. that would be nice for first timers. overall, the golf was very nice. we would play there again.

Thinking Mans course

It's not an overly challenging course, but you have to think your way thru the course. It's a course that you have to miss in the right area around the green. Miss wrong and your ball could end up rolling down the hill in to the drink. Miss right and you have a shot at a good score.
