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 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.

Hit straight.

Had a beautiful afternoon of golf. The course still has a lot of winter kill grass especially in the rough. The back nine has much more in play water hazards. Multiple tie boxes for all levels of play. Would definitely play this course again.

This course is the worst course that I’ve played on in months

This course absolutely sucked, the fairways were full of tractor tire tracks, Mud, everywhere, bare spots throughout the fairway and rough. The greens were like putting in a gravel driveway between the dead spots and half assed repair. It was just a horrible experience. Especially since they charge $61 when you can go to Crowfield and play for 44 and it’s a wonderful course, I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone

Good bones poor maintenance

You have been warned It is in really poor shape. No overseeding, greens and tee boxes are in bad shape. There are tracks from a tractor with aggressive tread all over fairway. Huge bare spots everywhere. Don’t pay over $25 per round. Staff is nice and friendly and clubhouse is nice. Will not play here again, course needs a new maintenance staff.

Wonderful venue

Great course. A little soggy in spots on the day I played. Lots of water hazards, so bring lots of balls if you’re not a pro. The staff is very friendly — and the grill makes an awesome egg salad sandwich!

I don't recommend this course due to fair course conditions, lots of leaves make it difficult to find your shots.
