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.

Golfer Reviews
practice round
Layout B+, Conditions A, Pace A, Carts A, Cart Paths C, Staff A
Good course
Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and greens were good, tee boxes good. Layout was nice (lot of doglegs holes though). Pace of play was good.
Only complaint would be the excessive bugs/gnats. Maybe its the location or time of yr but we played other courses in the area where the bugs were not as bad.
Great Course and Great Value
My son and I played this course with one of his friends. We enjoyed our round and played at a good pace. Staff was friendly and the range and course were in good shape. Greens were soft because a lot of rain the previous day but they rolled well and were in very good shape. We will definitely play again.
I enjoyed playing the course, will be playing regularly.
Pristine
In super nice condition, played two different days first day was able to start a few minutes before tee time, had one guy in front of us but he played super fast, we had nobody behind us to worry about and there was atleast 10 different employees out maintaining the course from raking bunkers, rolling greens, blowing off greens, cutting grass, trimming around the greens etc it was awesome , the 2nd day playing not as much employees out but had a group of 6 go out in front of us and they even kept pace of play up and we hardly had to wait. I will definitely play this course again best course within 45 minutes
Can’t beat it for the price
Was able to go to Santee national twice the last few weekends because of the amazing hot deals. Have enjoyed both times. The greens have been aerated so the putting is a little difficult sometimes, but thoroughly enjoyed both times playing here. Would highly recommend.
Aerated greens
Good overall value due to the greens being aerated the day before. But course was wide open due to that.
I'm great course for the money.
Santee National is always in great condition. Even though there were aerating the greens the greens were still in fine shape. The friendliness of the staff never goes away. Fairways were nice and lush. Tea boxes also in great shape.
Greens being aerated so that was why they did not get 5 stars across all
Nice round
Great course just aerated the greens otherwise it was excellent. Will play again..
Great Course!
Fair challenges on many of the holes. Well taken care of .. I will definitely play again when in the area. Highly recommend.
This course was fantastic
Had a fantastic time playing this course. It was a great course with plenty of challenge but also easy enough for the average golfer. Well maintained and beautiful course. Only thing better than the course was the friendliness of the staff. I cannot wait to play there again.
Great golfing experience
Great condition as the greens were excellent and the newly redone bunkers are superb. Tony in the shop does a great job and all the staff are very welcoming
Nice stop off 95
Overall course conditions were very good. Shout to the Superintendent and staff. Will be back again
