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."

Great course and great value !
Visiting CHS from Hawaii and found this course as a good value for the price.
Course is Recovering Nicely
Greens are rounding back into shape. Always a nice course to play when maintained properly.
bad greens
there was a black maybe fungus on all 18
greens. it was like putting on a sculptured carpet . awful!
tee boxes were hard.
fairway were good.
$32.
won't go back
Good Layout, Needs Lots of Work
My brother and I played this course yesterday, pace of play was good however you would expect that on a Thursday afternoon.
Course conditions are not very good, crabgrass on many tee boxes, all areas around greens needed to be mowed and trimmed, greens not in great condition however they did roll true.
Wish I could say more positive things about the course but just needs more maintenance.
Save your money
This place should be embarrassed to charge the rates they charge to play this course. Bear up range balls that are so worn out the dimples have worn off. No actual holes on the putting green. Crabgrass and weeds everywhere in the fairways and around the green. Amd the greens are the worst of all dead burnt out spots everywhere 1000 unrepaired ball marks on every green make it impossible to putt fir any kind of score. Do yourself a favor and skip playing here. Also no ranger on the course so pace of play was pushing 5 hours and oh no beverage cart either. Not even close to being worth $60 per round.
Tough course
If you don’t hit fairways over 50% of the time, bring at least a dozen balls. Water meanders along most holes and across them also. Hit a hook and your ball is on a neighbor’s lawn (gone). Mounds along the rough will almost ensure a stray ball gets a bad bounce.
Fairways were pretty well grown in and healthy. Greens still needed some growing in but I hear they have been on the mend so I guess they’re coming along. Tee boxes were hard but the greens were not so hard. A 7 iron hit off the toe was still able to stop close to the pitch mark.
The gentleman in the pro shop was friendly along with the starter.
The round took 5 hours and we were right behind the group ahead and we never saw a ranger to prod us along. I assume this meant that everyone was just jacked up with nothing else to do about it.
Pine Forest SLOW Greens
First time playing there in over one year. Course looks okay, but greens are terribly slow. Lots of unrepaired/unhealed ball marks on greens and divots in fairways. Good value for Weekday afternoon. Will play again. Hoping the greens are better next visit.
Enjoyable day
We had a nice round. The pace was a bit slow, 5 hours for the round...but actually worked out well as my wife came along and is new to golfing, so the slow pace gave us time for her to enjoy playing and not feel rushed. The course was in pretty good shape overall, a few greens were in a bit of bad shape. My biggest disappointment was that they do not have any GPS nor do the golf scorecards have images of the holes. A couple of holes, I didn't know what was ahead or how far, so ended up losing balls/taking extra strokes. Would be nice to be able to see what the hole looks like. Great price with Golf Now hot deal.
Pace was slow but it was a busy day. Took 5 hours to play 18.
Pace of play
5 1/2 hour round and that was with 2 of our group dropping out at 16 due to pace. Had 5 groups on or at hole waiting multiple times.
If you like a challenge
Tough course, especially from longer tees. Thought the condition of the course was better than most for this time of year. The greens had some poanna but rolled smooth. Expect that as they fully transition they will get even better. Fairways are showing good signs of filling in, still several unfilled divots although each cart has two sand bottles. Great value for money. Sure you can spend 3-4 times more and find a course that might be in better condition but you’ll be hard pressed to find a tougher challenge, in terms of layout and demanding second shots. Fairways are more that ample for keeping the ball in the short stuff but BEWARE water lurks everywhere.
Great value for what I paid to play here. It was cart path only which given all the rain we had was appropriate. The greens are not in very good shape but hopefully will improve as the temperatures warm up. I will definitely try this course again when it drys out.
