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."

Need a tee?

The tee boxes were full of broken tees, even at the previous location on the tee box area.

A few of the womens’ tee boxes where not flat and placed oddly.

I didn’t mind, but many greens seemed over protected with mounds, humps, and dips. Might be a challenge for those over a 12 hcp?

Rated pace if play due to cart path only…..but many holes where quite dry in the afternoon. But, I got my steps in!

An interesting course

This course has ‘good bones’. Hazards that aren’t overwhelming, but will keep you on your toes. The maintenance of the course is acceptable, but the greens really need work. Absent that issue, a nice course.

Windy weather

The pace of play was EXTREMELY slow. We paid for 18 holes and were only able to play 9 as it took over 3.5 hours to get through 9. The started told us to try and keep it under 2 hours for the front and the back which was comical as we had two groups in front of us waiting to tee off at our tee time.

Great Place! And making a comeback.

I played 18 in the morning after it rained. I wasn’t expecting much, and it ended up being great. The first couple of holes were wet from the night before but fantastic after. I had my doubts on the pace of play bc of a tournament the first hour and we teed off 10/15 min late. But it was really good. Zero complaints on it whatsoever.

I played with someone that plays there regularly and says the course is making a huge comeback. It is getting better every month. Maintenance on the greens, and traps, etc.

Highly recommend it.

Great Course for the Value

It's been a busy weekend to book and get an early tee time. Glad I got one and enjoyed playing the course thru golf now. I have played here couple times. I wish they could get the greens to a better level, this course would be phenomenal.

The course layout is really good. Driving range and practice green lacking but it’s ok. The biggest issue was the greens. Plans infested and a lot of bare spots around the fringes.

Interesting lUout

Water comes into play throughout. I found it very interesting and challenging for my 20 handicap. Was in sand only once but water a couple of times. Course was decent for winter conditions.
