Course in good shape; pace of play was a crawl because of 1 group that was holding up the entire course, no ranger; greens were good

Course is in great shape and fun layout. It was really slow. I went Friday afternoon Memorial Day weekend so bear that in mind. Still, there was no ranger and a few groups holding us all up. The bugs became ferocious after the sun went down.

We were warmly welcomed by the two young men in the pro shop at Santee National Golf Club. Since it was our first time playing here, they provided us with a course map and gave us some helpful tips about the course.

There was no starter, but we were able to tee off on time. We played as a threesome behind a foursome, and although we occasionally had to wait briefly, the pace of play was still very good.

The course layout is beautiful, featuring gentle hills, water hazards, and well-maintained bunkers. We also really appreciated that there are no houses directly along the fairways, unlike many courses in Florida.

We felt the layout and play ability was good. The conditions were subject, The fairways were hard as a rock and the greens very rough. A lot had to do with lack of rain not the staff. Overall, enjoyed the round. Pray for rain.

Second time playing the course. Second time pace of play was slow. Painfully slow. The course is a great destination for groups with their package deals. Add in a couple of forced carries, and it backs up quickly. Fortunately I got paired up with a nice guy and we talked quite a lot between shots. But not eberyone may be so lucky. Otherwise, a nice place. In good shape in spite of the dry weather. Great to see them busy. Great to see the condition.

I am a California transplant now living in Columbia, SC. The area I am from has some of the best courses in the planet. That being said, Santee National is without a doubt right up there with them. I played here for the first time today and it was 10000% worth the trip from Columbia.

- Tee boxes are well maintained.

- Fairways are firm, no sloppy areas.

- Rough is well kept.

- Bunkers look brand new.

- The greens are the best greens I’ve played on in SC. Fast, firm, and challenging.

- Design is fantastic.

- Pace was perfect. Finished in 4 hours.

Shot my lowest score in 2 months on a course I’ve never played before. What a great day.

Just book the tee time. You won’t regret it.

Absolute wonderful course. First time playing and not going to be the last time playing. Course conditions were excellent hats off to the ground Crew. The staff inside the club shop was super friendly. Five star course. Perfect for the rate.

The course design is good front is open with some challenging water hazards. Back 9 more trees. Due to the drought very dry. Greens were a challenge with different elevations and speeds. Pace of play very slow well over a 5 hour round we waited every hole.

From the first tee your challenged with a blind landing area in the fairway. Then the first green makes you hope the rest are just as well maintained, which they are. More than enough elevation change and dog legs to make it challenging and fun.and as close to perfect greens that you’ll see at a public course. Drove over an hour and I was not disappointed. Exceptional course maintenance tee to green.

Would absolutely play Santee National again. Drove about an hour to play and will be returning again soon. Course was in great shape with consistent greens, well kept bunkers, and a very fun layout. Staff was super friendly too. Overall great experience and can’t wait to head back soon

From tee box to greens, course in great condition. No complaints and it's always a pleasure to come back to this course and find such top notch conditions. One note - dress code is enforced.

Staff members are always great. Free range balls, and great overall course.

Had a wonderful day at the course. Staff was friendly and course was great.

Loved this course. Always in good shape and a piece of paradise. Recommend to everyone.

Cool layout way better value then for what you would get in Charleston

Santee National is a convenient place to play just off I95 , about 2.5 hrs N of Hilton Head. the golf is fairly easy , with wide fairways , and a bit of water . I stop there when driving to HH or FL to break up a travel day. Hotels are cheap and they have a decent driving range if you are pressed for time.

Played as a single, no wait on Reebok, several groups let me play through and completed round under 4 hours. Several doglegs required precision, greens were slow, but true. Open woods suited my game!
