Rating 72.9

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.

Excellent Value

The course was well maintained. There were only a few people on the course so we had an enjoyable pace. The front 9 was wide open so it was a great way to get warmed up for the Back 9 that offers more challenging hole

Will definitely go back. Yes! I would highly recommend the Santee national Golf course experience

My son and I played the course for the first time this November. It was a little chilly but very enjoyable. The course was in great shape, traps were very clean, staff was very welcoming, and the clubhouse had everything we needed. Definitely will be back!

Very good course

The course was in great shape. We’re redoing a couple of bunkers on the back nine. The biggest complaint which is not exclusive to this course is the failure of groups to let faster players play through.
