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."

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

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.

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.

Extremely well maintained

I have played at quite a few courses in the south and I can say that this is one of the nicest I have played at. Very well maintained. I was very impressed with how great the course is. Very challenging. Actually caused me to shoot over 90, which does not happen too often anymore. Lots of water to swallow your ball if you don't play it right. Just overall a beautiful course.

Unique Layout But Poor Condition

Played on Mother's Day, so it was not crowded and they let the starter go home. Carts are electric and in good condition, but the cart paths were in very poor condition. Tee boxes were OK, but the fairways were rock hard so you could get a lot of roll. but sometimes too much and roll into one of the many water hazards. The greens were rough and not true. Lots of exposed tree roots that penalized lies. Bunkers need attention. Has a lot of potential, but it looks like there is no investment in improvements. Disappointing.

Very pleasing to the eye for the golfer.

Greens were a little rough to putt in a few cases. All in all, I would play it again sometime.

Nice Track, decent price.

Not a lot of bunkers, a number of holes with water, lateral hazards/ob's on most holes. Can only remember one non par 3 that was straight, everything else had some bend.

Interesting course, hit the ball straight, greens were a bit slow so there was not as much break as the read would indicate.

Would play again

Painfully slow....

Rangers need to do a better job at maintaining the pace of play. I played singular behind a 4 some, that took 3 hrs for 9 holes. I quit after the 9 holes due to the pace of play and not being granted a pass through.

Great Layout, greens are beat up, takes away from overal enjoyment

Really good value, great layout. Good mix of short, medium and long par 4's. Par 3's have nice variety, Par 5's also offer Risk/Reward. Greens are very sloping and feature multiple levels, problem is they are in lousy shape and putt very bumpy and slow.

If had good greens would be a TOP course

a bit more time

fairways were brown, greens were bumpy and inconsistent. the springtime grass is coming in in most spots but not all. it seems they are letting the grass grow before shaping it. overall acceptable knowing everyone else around them raised prices for the season more than pineforrest did.

Overall great value...

Greens need attention. It is the beginning of April, so it is somewhat understandable. The course has great personality and a great setup. Gives you the feeling of playing a 5 star course at the 3 star price. Great facility overall.

Beautiful setting, not very green

Pine Forest was the most expensive course I played in the area, but it wasn't the best cared for. It was ok, but the tee boxes were pretty beat up, the fairways were not green, and the greens weren't yet recovered from plugging.
