The Club at Pine Forest
Rating Snapshot
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 layout but very slow pace of play
Scheduled tee time for 1:59. Paired with 1:52 pair but we did not tee off until 2:30. Had to wait several minutes on every tee box. Finished 9 holes at 5:15. Never got to the back 9. They did give us rain check for 9 holes. Pro shop staff were friendly and the course layout was excellent with tight fairways and fast undulating greens. A great challenge. Pace of play took away from the overall experience. I would recommend course but avoid weekend afternoons if you want to play 18.
Awful Conditions March '23
I've been playing golf for 40 years. This course ranked in the bottom 3 courses I've ever played in terms of the on-course conditions. Do not expect anything lush about fairways or greens. Expect bare patches, rock-hard ground, greens that do not hold, unmowed and damaged tee boxes, and uneven cuts throughout the course.
I was in town and wanted to get out for a quick round. I rented clubs from the course, which ended up being a mis-matched set of Wilson and Cobra clubs that were NOT clean. I had to scrape caked-on mud off of them myself before I went out to play.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I have NO IDEA how this course has 3.8 stars unless these ratings are from another era entirely. But, currently, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who cares about course conditions.
My New Home Course
Not bad, course had a lot of casual water, as it had rained the night before we played at 11:35 ish.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
They booked more tee times then they had carts so we had to wait 30 minutes after our tee time to start. When we got to the back 9 there were 3 parties waiting to tee off so we just played the front 9 again. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
Great course
Water comes into play a lot. Be carefully.staff was awesome!
Very slow 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes
Course was very wet, so it was cart path only. It took 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes. At 4 p.m. we were the 4th group out waiting to make the turn, sunset was at 5:16 pm so we requested a refund of the 2nd nine holes.
The staff was so very understanding and pleasant, they readily agreed to refund us, as we were traveling through the area.
I would love to come back to play this very challenging course again. Lots of places to get in trouble, but I could see it being a fun course to play once you know the lay of the land.
Charleston and the surrounding area is a beautiful place to visit.
The course was wet due to extended rain. But a great layout and friendly
Not the Best day for Pine Forest
Usually a fun and challenging course but the pace of play was excruciating. 6.5 hours is just unacceptable
