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.

Another great day at Santee National
The course is in great condition, especially for this time of year. Everything is so well maintained, greens roll true, staff is great, and the layout is fun. All-around one of our favorite courses to play in SC. Absolutely worth the one hour drive from Columbia. Every time we play here we feel like we are on vacation. Can't wait to get back again soon.
Fabulous all the way around!!
Found this gem of a course @ 1 mile off 95 on our way to Florida. Astounded at the shape of the greens and fairways especially as it was such a great value. They have overseeded with winter grass which left the fairways looking springtime Green in the end of December. It was a challenging and beautiful course. The staff was so helpful and courteous. They even came out of the pro shop as we came to the turn to see how we were doing how we like the course and if we needed anything as they knew it was our first time there. You will find true southern hospitality at this course. We will be back!

Little wet today due to a good amount of rain the days before. So in great shape. Greens soft but rolling good and smooth.

Delivers every trip
Thiss course delivers time after time.. Weather was heavy fog at tee off. Ground was wet with fog/dew but no rain. Literally had to hit ball and then go down line to find ball. Lucky I do not hit it far but usually straight. Fog persisted through first seven holes then good sun. Adds a new challenge. Course was in really good shape. Winter grass has come in nicely on fairways. Greens were in great shape without dead spots or weeds and rolled true. Course was very uncrowded when I started around 9:30 and did get busier later, but I was in front of the crowd . Never caught up with anyone nor was I caught from behind. Judging from observations after round, do not feel pace of play was an issue even later in the day. Overall a beautiful course and, eventually, a beautiful day.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon. Thanks for choosing Santee National Golf Club.

Great Layout
Played this course last year and booked it again. Love the layout. Course was over seeded and wet in many places. Greens were in good shape. Surprised it is cheaper than the other two Santee courses. Would love to play this course at its best condition.
