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.

COURSE IN GREAT SHAPE BUT THE GREENS ARE BARE & LIKE PUTTING ON CONCRETE
Very enjoyable course.
Course is in great shape with large fast greens that rolled true. Unfortunately we had two foursomes ahead of us that appeared to be friends playing against each other and they were slow, slow slow. Made for a long day. I certainly would recommend playing this course if in the area. It's a 1 1/2 hour drive from Newberry but I'll be back.
Hi GolfingRPh, thank you so much for the 5-star review and recommendation. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by other players on the course, but we're glad you still enjoyed your time with us. We hope to see you again soon, and thanks for choosing Santee National Golf Club.

Definitely a worthwhile drive
Coming down from the Columbia area, I've played this course a few times and enjoyed it each time. The greens are fantastic and roll true. The fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. If you're in the area or even if you're not, it's worth your time.

Great Day of Golf
My bud and I really enjoyed the entire experience. The course (fairways and greens) is truly in great condition. We drive a hour to reach the track and play it 7-8 times throughout the year. The course has yet to disappoint! Anytime you're coming to the Santee area you need to give this track a try.

Spectacular
This course is the the best in town. The fairways are full pf lush green grass and the green are even thicker. No patches at all. Front nine plays much easier than the back. Greens tend to run straight and slow without much break, but are overall in great shape. Best deal in the state for such a quality course.

5 1/2 hr round
Nice course In good condition. Overseeded so the fairways and greens were in good shape. Greens really slow like the pace of play. 5 1/2 hours is pretty Brutal.
