Santee National Golf Club
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.

Great Course!
Fair challenges on many of the holes. Well taken care of .. I will definitely play again when in the area. Highly recommend.
This course was fantastic
Had a fantastic time playing this course. It was a great course with plenty of challenge but also easy enough for the average golfer. Well maintained and beautiful course. Only thing better than the course was the friendliness of the staff. I cannot wait to play there again.
Great golfing experience
Great condition as the greens were excellent and the newly redone bunkers are superb. Tony in the shop does a great job and all the staff are very welcoming
Nice stop off 95
Overall course conditions were very good. Shout to the Superintendent and staff. Will be back again
Windy but still ok
Golf at Santee National. Bob in pro shop was nice and got us out early. Carts in really good shape. Buildings seemed really new. Snack bar was good. Golf course in good shape. Greens very fast. Fairways firm and good lies. Some of tees a little thin for grass. Not mowed down and sanded in a number of cases. No Marshall and pace a little slow, about 4 hr 15 minutes for round. As a twosome, that meant a lot of waiting. Nice mix of water and trees to make it interesting. Front side is more open than back. Par 3s are pretty long and 5 pars are shorter. fun round of golf. would definitely play it again.
Outstanding Course
We traveled 50 miles to play this course. It was beautiful, senic, in great condition, and a joy to play!
Front 9 is wide open, back nine requires some golf shots. Pace of play was slow, but there was a lot of people out. Greens in great condition and bunkers have been redone in past couple years and are the best I’ve played out of. I’ve played this course dozens of times and this was the best shape it’s ever been in.
Nice Course…
I got a Hot Deal, so it was worth it for $58. Nice layout, some interesting and challenging holes.
South Carolina Belter
Santee was a cracker of a course. Some very strong holes upto the 18th. Well designed course that doesn't break the bank. Greens and fairways were in superb condition and the greens putted true. Off course the staff were friendly and welcoming. Course undulations were excellent and a very playable course. Worth the drive if you're around the Charleston area.
Southern Hospitality is Real!!
Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Course was in beautiful shape and loved the overall layout. Will be back!
windy today but played ok
The Staff here was very nice and the course was in good shape for the time of the year. I like to play here when I am visiting family in Manning.
