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."

Golfer Reviews
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.
Great Course!!!
I love playing this course. Great course for the money!
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.
Great for the money.
Great choice for Charleston. One of the better courses around, challenging greens if your in the wrong spots.
always fun to play
Course is just gettting healed from punching the greens. A little slow but will be great in another week. Always a nice challenge. Need to be acurate off the tees to set up your approach shot.
Scenic, well kept course, with great layout
I was considering giving this 5 stars but some of the greens appear to be dead in spots, although it seems to becoming addressed. The layout of the course is very nice and each hole has a stone map built in on a brick wall. There are many conviently located water drinking stations which is a plus. Although I use sky caddy the course was also well marked with yardages on all sprinkler heads, signs for carry and layup distances. The traps and fairways are in great shape. You need accuracy to score your best here. A little bummed out that they did not have a pin sheet or a color coding system indicating the flag depth. Landing on the wrong plateau on the green will penalize you. Course has lots of undulations. Very pleased at the matenence, pace of play, cleanliness and the nice surrounding development. The course is located in a quiet section of Summerville and easy to get to. The rates for South Carolina residents on GOLFNOW (not even using hot deals) are the best of all the area courses. You need to play this more than once to know where best to hit is. Since the pace of play was great I took my time to drive up and see where best to hit it. I will definitely make this course a staple and highly recommend it to others. Will try the restaurant next time.
Greens need work
Everything on the course is in great condition except the greens on the front 9 and a couple on the back. The greens here have always been immaculate but the past year or so has been rough. Stopped playing here for that reason but if they can get the greens back to where they were in 2011, then this will again be one of my favorites courses in the charleston area.
Great course for the money
Great course for the money, will make it my go to course. Greens needed some repair but over all enjoyed the course.
Great twighlight rate...
Got a great deal online, $18 for a round. Fairways were in great shape, and while the greens were being aerated it was well worth the cost of admission. Nice track
Great course for the deal on golfnow.com
Lots of water and a challenging course. But a lot of fun for the average to good golfer
The price was fitting for the course. Very nice.
You can't beat the price for this course that we paid through Golf Now. I don't know what the conditions will be in the Summer months, but it was worth the amount we paid. I would play it again in the condition it was in without question.
Great course
I enjoyed the experience, Challenging but fair. Lots of water and elevation changes, I will be back soon.
Conditions much improved!!!
Fairways hard and lots of roll due to lack of rain. Greens are much improved from 6-12months ago but still need some work (B-). Great course layout - played many times and will return more often now that green conditions are better.
Nice pines, great neighborhood, will go back.
Very nice course with some challenging play. Lovely clubhouse and neighborhood. All the staff was courteous, and using golfnow.com was quick and easy. No hassle checking in.
