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."

No one out on the course on a Saturday to maintain pace of play. Waited on every hole. It was a long Saturday.

pace of play

I have played this course about 5 or 6 times. The pace of play leaves something to be desired. My round yesterday took almost 5 hours. The back nine was way too packed. At one point there were five groups on one hole from tee to green.

Beautiful and challenging

First time playing the course, and my favorite part was the greens. The most undulating I think I've ever seen or played on. Not perfect conditions, but great for August and rolled nicely. Played Monday at 11 and there was no one out there. Could've easily played as a twosome in under 3 hours. Tough course, but beautiful and very interesting. Fantastic deal for the money it cost ($18 for 18 holes). Can't wait to play again--just hope my game is in better shape next time!

Nice layout with a good variety of holes. Friendly, laid-back staff. Excellent greens.

I would have given the course a higher overall rating, but playing conditions prevented this. The course was very, very wet (from both recent and on-going heavy summer rain events), which of course could not be helped. However, most of the sand traps were basically unplayable with little real sand in them and severe erosion problems in many as well. Also, a good GPS unit/phone app is essential, as there are several "blind" water hazards that jut out into fairways. That said, it is a very good layout with excellent bermuda greens. I would like to return some day and play it under dry, fast conditions.

used to be impossible

Now more of a moderate course. Still narrow and wet, but far less beaches. Well kept, few poor drainage areas found here in the low country. Fun to play. Good golf now availability.

Waterlogged

The course looks beautiful but it was not fun to play. The course was filled with water which doesn't drain well so golf carts were not permitted on the fairway. I would consider playing this course but after the rainy season, regardless of the cost (which was low to begin with). The staff was friendly and I give them high marks for that.

great course

Despite the amount of rain we have had here in Summerville. The course is in excellent condition 90 degree rule which is absolutely exceptable I usually do that anyway. I will play there again and use golf now to book. Great deal very close to home.

Great course

Tough little course, with a lot of tough approach shots. Green have a good amount of slope but not unfair. Grass was pretty thick, including the tee boxes, throughout with the recent heavy rains. Best value in Charleston Area for the price.

Great Layout...overall good course for your money!

Let me prefice this review with the weather. The course was wet....almost everywhere. Rain has probably made the course in better condition from previous reviews, but overall the in good shape considering the amount of rain we've been getting. The grounds care folks hadn't been out in a while as evident in overgrown t-boxes, which by the way look like they needed some healing time anyways. The fairways were in really good shape with the exception of standing water in areas or highly saturated areas. The greens were in great shape....some dead area's but have been on worse in the past couple weeks. They rolled true and speeds were moderate. Overall, I will come back as I really enjoyed the course.

The course is some what challenging due to the water around it. Water is mostly in our heads anyway.

For the money I paid thru golfnow itwas well worth the money and they have a lot of specials of there on. We have had rain for 35 days in a row and some of these days were in in. Like 1 to3 in. in a day.So I think the course was in as good of shape as possible.
