Pinecrest Golf Club

Always enjoy playing Pinecrest. It is a challenging track requiring shot placement, staying out of trouble (plenty of trees, water and a few forced carries).

Greens are in great shape, fairways have filled out nicely for late summer, and the rough is penalizing - rewarding accurate drives in the short grass. A couple of the tee boxes are pretty chewed up and it is baffling why management doesn't move the tee markers to a better part of the box. Additionally, the traps are only inconsistently raked out, not a tough task to do, but the course needs to take care of this detail to be 'on par' with the other excellent public tracks in the area.

This is an amazing course. It’s very well kept and a challenging layout. The amenities equal courses 3X the price. Drive the extra few minutes and try this course.

Course was pretty but greens were horrendous. Slower than $10 courses back in jersey

Really nice layout and the greens were in good shape. Nice course and would recommend

Greens were recently plugged and top dressed but this was publicized and the rates were discounted. Unfortunately, the tee boxes and fairways were in very poor condition. Pace of play was excellent and pro shop staff was friendly.

We had a really good day, from check in to after golf beverages. Friendly staff as well as paired up with a couple locals which helped immensely. The only disappointment was the aeration, which was known ahead of time and rates reflected, so not complaining. A couple tee boxes were a bit rough but all other course conditions were very good (fairways, bunkers). Would love to play again when the greens are back.

The greens and the layout were exceptionally good. The tee boxes were very sparse and although green, the fairways needed more grass to hit off of. The bunkers were unkept and like hitting off concrete. The staff was pleasant and welcoming.

The course is tired looking. Needs to get the weeds out. Fairways and tees need the most work. Sand traps and bunkers are in need of work as well. Have played this course for 10 years and have seen the decay little by little. If you are into cheap play than this course under $40 is good. Would love to play this course if it was a good deal at $50.00. Love the 1st, 8th, 9th, 14th 17th and 18th. If it only looked like Hilton Head National.

I always play here several times when I visit Hilton Head. I never had a problem and met some very nice people. Practice area is good to warm up before playing.

1st all staff were great. That makes the start and finish of the round pleasant. The greens were not perfect but a good putting surface. Tees and fairways need to growing in time,, but you can find good places to hit off of. Our place of play was great until the final two holes. Some people are just clueless. We had a local member join us which made the round more enjoyable.. I use golf now on a regular basis, I wish there was a better discount to play here..I will come back..

Course under new management and it shows effort to making a great experience . Great value and worth coming off the island to play!!!!
Friendly staff all around . Come early have lunch in the grill - enjoy a Hamburger and the fixings , you won’t be disappointed , than head to the range and huge putting green to warm up.

Course was good in shape for early in the year / greens were excellent speed and true. New management installed 150 yd posts - helps with target and speeds up play. Interesting holes which require different clubs off the tee. Favorite holes are 9& 18 wrapped around the big pond !!!!

New management committed making the round an excellent value from bag drop to 19th hole.
Looking forward to playing again in spring 2020!!!!

Nice layout pace of play was great. Negative was the fairway grass has not filled in. Maybe it’s too rarely in the year. Definitely will play again. The course has a great practice facility.

Nice course at a good rate. Add this to your list of courses to play the next time you visit Hilton head! We will return for sure!

A nice course still with little grass in places. Greens are large and undulating so don’t get excited if you are on in regulation. Greens moderate speed but in good spring shape. A nice value

Haven't played Pinecrest in over 4 years. The track is well laid out, winding through woods, and features water hazards on 14 holes. Greens, fairways were in excellent, early season condition. This course plays tighter than many because of hazards (stands of trees or water) lining both sides of most fairways. Sand traps were in good shape, however some looked to be a bit thin. Most tee boxes in great shape, but a couple could benefit from having the tee markers moved more frequently.
Overall, my playing partner and I considered this an excellent track, worth the money, and the 19th hole was good value as well.
We'll definitely be back and with friends.
Note: not certain why this course comes up as "private". It is a public course, that offers memberships. All players we talked with were general public.

I have been coming to Hilton Head Island for a long time and over the years have played lots of courses here. I'm not very good but I love the game and playing it. This course has a very challenging layout from all tees but is in the worst shape of any course I've ever played here. It appears as if no one has touched the greens (except to mow the no grass greens). The fairways are bare and the rough is a cow pasture. There's too long a ride between holes and too many bunkers. It appears to have pretensions of being a championship course but there is a superintendent he needs to be replaced or demoted. The staff was friendly and the pace of play was good probably because there were very few people on the course. I'll not return.
