Santee National Golf Club
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.

Fine Course Suffering from Heavy Rains
Heavy rains in the area soaked this course restricting cart use to paths only. There were many wet spots on the fairways that affected play. The good news is that the moisture is causing the winter grass to take root well, and the fairways will soon be in great condition. This is a fine course with a nice variety of hole layouts. The greens are excellent and quite fast.
Close to highway 95 with superb fast greens
First nine is quite plain but second nine is very good and scenic. Course in good conditions with very fast amd high quality greens. Take the time to get a sandwich made for you after 9 holes, they taste great! Solid course close to 95 .
Best Value
My group of 16 played this course 4 straight days from august 12-15. The course is OK, but the greens and the staff make this a great place for a buddies golf weekend. We stayed in the villas, played other courses in the am, and came back here to play a PM round each day. Very pleased.
Great place for the money
Played this course a few times...never disappoints. Greens were in grat shape as were the fairways. Not too tight at all. Par 3's are not extremely long either. The course is easy to get o off I95.
Unable to play
Unfortunately I feel ill and did not get to play the course. I was in the area on vacation and won't be back for a while. Would have loved to played the course.
Great course!
Pretty wide open fairways with challenging approach shots. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes are all in really great shape as well.
Great Afternoon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at Santee National. Friendly staff and beautiful/peaceful course.
The course is wide and open. Even the paths are nice and not tore up by tree limbs.
Definatley will be back, as we can be there in about 30 minutes from Summerville.
Santee National
Great course for the value. very appealing to the eye from the tee.
missed the rain
Fast greens,plush fairways. Off fairways were early spring conditions with little or no new growth. Threat of rain and stiff breeze made first nine a bit more challenging
nice course
drove down from Columbia to stay ahead of the rain, first time playing the course, in really good condition. Staff was very friendly, but play was very slow. Had a foursome ahead of us that would not allow us to play through until hole #7. other than that really enjoyed the day and the course. would play it again
Great shape
Played this course is in great shape. Got behind a resort group of 16 so it played a little slow but an overall great time. Tees, fairways and greens were all nice and green and firm. Will be back!!!
Great value
We played Santee National on New Year's day, the drive up from Savannah was well worth it. The course was in pretty good condition, greens, fairways and tee boxes were all in great shape. I will definitely be making the trip up I-95 to play this course again.
Great Course---best in Santee Area
Great track and solid value. The greens were rolling very true...and fast. Rolling hills gave some nice elevation changes--not much, but some. Par 3's were varied and interesting. Like the course a lot.
Great Experience, worth the drive!
This was a round in the winter. The course conditions were excellent. The greens were in great condition, even though the color of the grass had browned with the winter conditions. The fairways had been over-seeded and were beautiful. The weather was awesome for a late December round( short sleeves and shorts!) . It was a great day!
Winter golf
This course was very nice. Played day after Christmas and the greens were under the weather and very difficult to putt on. Other than that I would recommend this course to all levels of golf.
Great experience
I'm from pa. And had a terrible start to golf vacation with bad hotel, the people at santee gave us a free round of golf and told us they would have a new hotel set up for us when the by the time out round was over, and they did! Now the course was fantastic, fast greens , great layout, the front 9 is more open and forgiving, the back 9 tighter and you need to be more precise, with your shots , and you need to be careful where you miss to and even where you hit the greens, lots of 3 putts there if your not precise, overall a great experience, so much so I played the course 3 times in 5 days !
great day of golf
Course was in really good shape. Pin placements were in really tricky parts of the green. Which allowed me to almost make a great comeback on my brother. But he beat me again. Can't wait to go back.
good course
Course and staff great great layout priced fairly.
As tee golf
Greens had been groomed (vertical sliced) recently so greens were "bumpy" but true and readable. Fairways were great and rough was cut evenly. Great deal for the price. Would definitely play there again. Really enjoyed our round.
