I enjoy playing this course. Friendly staff. Pretty challenging with really fun and interesting layout. Greens are sometimes in terrible shape and it needs some drainage work.But, still one of my favorite in the area.The only real negative is it is a bit crowded even in the off hours.

A great course that I would easily recommend. The course has a good balance of challenge from the water and few bunkers, but I wouldnt rate it as being too difficult or unfair. Many holes are lined by homes on one side with water on the other. I found the course to be in great shape in the winter with very playable greens and decent fairways. The cart paths are broken up by tree roots. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was actually amazed at how nice and friendly they were. I would easily recommend this course for a casual to serious golfer.

Played the course today, November 7, 2020. It’s in sad shape. First of all we had to wait for golfers to finish so that we could have carts. Tee times were pushed backed when we arrived before noon by at least 20 minutes. They scheduled tee times every 4 minutes. Really? What foursome can tee off in 4 minutes. The driving range was closed due to “wet conditions”. I don’t think they had personnel to pick up balls, but who knows? Also the practice putting green was closed due to being over seeded. The group in front of us used the first tee as a driving range. They each hit 3 drives each. We waited on every shot. Also many areas were not just wet, they were soaked. I love the layout, but it’s in bad shape. I will never play there again.

Good course. Decently maintained. Every single time I’ve been here it’s extremely overbooked. Wish that wasn’t the case, but when it takes between 2.5-3 hours to play 9 holes it’s not enjoyable, especially in summer.

Solid golf course with exceptional deals you look hard enough. Course can retainer water excessively but is still fun.

What a shame! Course used to be in great shape but has really gone downhill the past five year . Its a rough muni course now. Terrible shape, terrible greens, a couple feet of water in all the trap. Where are the members?

Nice layout. Greens were a little shaggy.

I like the layout and the clubhouse services and staff were friendly. The greens (very complex) were pretty good for a public course. Target golf and water came into play on most holes. But, the drainage issue needs to be addressed. Hadn’t rained in days and the course was soupy. Like many other courses, the men’s locker room need a permanent air freshener.

Can be a soggy mess after rains. Retains water just about anywhere on the course. Is a challenge as there is water on about every hole and some narrow fairways. Not bad for the price if the weather has been nice for weeks prior.

Good round, Good clubhouse, Not a premium course by any means but comfortable and more than suitable for a novice or beginner. Do not go if it rained in recently made that mistake 5days ago.

Pine Forest comprises two very good out-and-back nine-hole loops, and as the name implies, tall, mature pine trees line the way on most holes. The pleasantly undulating fairways tend to get distinctly mogully as you approach the often elevated greens. The greens themselves are typically fast and undulating, several having at least two or sometimes three tiers - prepare to have your putting skills thoroughly tested.Pine Forest is a wonderfully enjoyable course, and one that will thoroughly test your game, especially your short game, and most especially your putting.

First timer and thought the course offered a fair challenge. Nice sized elevated greens are easy to approach but some do require pin point accuracy if youre going to get down in 2. The day I played there had been a recent water pump transformer failure and they were using auxiliary power to water the fairways and greens so I have to give them a pass on some grooming but all in all the course was in pretty decent shape. I would recommend purchasing the yardage book in the pro shop before hand. Regretfully I didnt and it cost me a few strokes. Very reasonable green fees. I have paid more for a lot worse. Ill definitely be back. Very friendly staff.

Played there several times before cancer got me. Enjoyed it very much and, since I was a visitor, I depended on the staff for advice. My only complaint and the same for every course Ive played over the past 40+ years, the players act like they will never play there again. Absolutely will not take care of the course. Dont replace divots in the fairways and wouldnt even think of using a divot tool (whats that). By and large very enjoyable.

I have always in the past three years found the course in good shape. For the price there is no better. I play there because of the challenges.When my handicap gets to a three they get five stars.

Pine Forest Country Club is a very nice neighborhood to be a part of. There are many different age groups and an inviting atmosphere for children. The Clubimmunities are somewhat structured to three categories. These are the tennis, golf, and swimming activities, in that all are well represented with teaching and leadership. In all the total living experience is nice, quiet, and very well maintained. In closing, the accessibility to Summerville activities, shopping, and the interstates is great. I have lived here for 12 years and an very content overall.

As far as the golf course, the greens are still in rough shape, punch holes are still present, even tho they were done a couple of weeks ago. They should of been sanded in my opinion. Other then that, its in good shape and the staff were excellent.

Beautiful course but the entire length of the course is lined with barking dogs. At one point I counted five different dogs barking loudly at us. It was very disappointing considering how beautiful it was but hard to enjoy golfing and the serene atmosphere.

The Pine Forest HOA passes the buck to CMG and vice versa. In a letter to the HOA dated 12.20.2017 I outlined in part the following:1. Inequitable ARC request approvals regarding fencing. The difference between the scalloped fence with gaps vs. a privacy fence.2. Basketball goals are an important aspect of a child’s life. I don’t necessarily have an issue with staging the basketball goal out of site when not in use, but to interpret literally as it is outlined in the covenants and restrictions is incredulous. For example: My two boys have a basketball goal as do many others in the neighborhood. One day they were playing in the drive way and took a break to eat lunch and returned to play within 30 minutes. Consequently, I received a “courtesy notice” for a basketball goal on display, which I believe is ridiculous because at that very second during lunch a CMG employee decided to drive by my house. If the BOD knew anything about a basketball goal and how it sits stationary with the assistance of water or sand in the base they would know it’s not real easy to move out of site for a 30 minute lunch nor is it reasonable to think one would do so.The HOA, CMG, and the Board of Directors and its officers seem to this home owner any way to be insular in nature, narcissistic, and egotistical who hide behind a call center member who is attempting to regurgitate the line of BS from their boss.Pine Forest Country Club sub-division is an over priced ghetto with no leadership or vision.

It was really cheap on golfnow, and close in proximity. I played it, may not play again. It was OKAY, friendly, nice greens, very tight, houses everywhere. It was a shot-making course. If youre over 60 and play a driver 190 yds, this is the course for you! If you have no idea where the ball is going, try summerville country club first.
