Par 72

Length 6858 yards

Slope 128

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.

First Round Here

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.

Nice course

First time playing and it was a nice course. This goes to all course’s out in America. It gets old being paired with other golfers all the time so they can get as much golfers/ money. I get it but I have had some fun times and some horrible times. There should be some kind of rules or something for this. You can’t pair scratch golfers with people that can’t break 100. That slows play down so bad. It’s not enjoyable.
