Santee National Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Santee National Golf Club possesses all of the charms of the Carolina Lowcountry but it is also nicely contrasted with highland terrain. The course sprawls across rolling hills covered with moss-draped live oaks that demand accuracy. Both the scenery and the challenges continue with pristine white sand bunkers that stand out against the lush greens. There are also five sparkling lakes throughout that come into play on several holes. The front nine is wide open but the course narrows as you move onto the back nine and it also becomes more wooded. It is a tough golf course but more forgiving than it seems. As the only Golf Digest 4-star rated course in the area, Santee National has a longstanding reputation with locals and it is also popular with visitors.

Front 9 is wide open, back nine requires some golf shots. Pace of play was slow, but there was a lot of people out. Greens in great condition and bunkers have been redone in past couple years and are the best I’ve played out of. I’ve played this course dozens of times and this was the best shape it’s ever been in.
Nice Course…
I got a Hot Deal, so it was worth it for $58. Nice layout, some interesting and challenging holes.
South Carolina Belter
Santee was a cracker of a course. Some very strong holes upto the 18th. Well designed course that doesn't break the bank. Greens and fairways were in superb condition and the greens putted true. Off course the staff were friendly and welcoming. Course undulations were excellent and a very playable course. Worth the drive if you're around the Charleston area.
Southern Hospitality is Real!!
Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Course was in beautiful shape and loved the overall layout. Will be back!
windy today but played ok
The Staff here was very nice and the course was in good shape for the time of the year. I like to play here when I am visiting family in Manning.
Great course!
Played several courses in this area and in Myrtle. This one was the beat - the greens were fast and true. Loved the course
Great conditions
Great shape for this time of year considering amount of recent rainfall. Nice practice facilities. New carts and new bunker sand!
NOT MANAGED
I only give it less than 5 stars because after front nine we came to tenth tee with 2 foursomes that cut in. We were a twosome but it didn’t matter . Needless to say play was slow and ended in near darkness. I blame management letting them off the back . The groups were from the townhouse the course rents on site, we watched them go to the buildings after the round. It would have been much more enjoyable had they not cut in.
Easy like Friday Morning
Got around quick, caught a foursome on hole 4, they let us play through on Hole 5. We played 18 holes in under 3 hrs, not bad considering we shot mid 80's.
