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.

Always Good Experience
Always a great course. Wet from recent rains. New carts are nice, but they won't last long with the bad cart paths, Probably our only complaint about the course. Staff are always very nice.
Santee golf
Back nine lots of doglegs to play very fun overall enjoyable will be back
Return visit
My son and I enjoyed this course as much the second round 👍
Great Course
new carts are nice, they have redone sand traps so are better to hit out of than before where some were like hitting off concrete. course was in great shape especially since it's winter, greens great as usual, pace of play slow due to other golfers lack of etiquette to let slower groups through or singles/doubles play through. Overall, a great place to play in the Charelston area though a ways away from Charleston but worth the drive, especially when considering price and course conditions.
A Hidden Gem in the midlands of SC
Always an adventure visiting Santee to play, eat, lounge around and drive back home. The Course is quite and feels tranquil at times while playing.
Well kept course - convenient off 95
Stopped on the way back from FL to NY. Enjoyed the course. Had an 11 am tee time.got there early and they were able to get us out early. For the most part played very quickly- very little waiting. Course layout was good and some challenging holes including some long par 3’s.
A Hidden Gem of a Course
One of the quietest course in the Area except for some traffic seen from Hole 8,9, 17 & 18 yet quieter than having an interstate next to you while playing or Big city Noise. A must play great condition course. The Lady running the Restaurant is so welcoming to every guest and does her best to add to the experience. 16th, 17th, 18th, gets backed up some days due to an absence of the Ranger so call the Clubhouse if needed. Many take advantage of the quietness and remoteness taking multiple mulligans.
Great layout
Our first time playing here. Very friendly pro shop person who offered us a course guide which has extremely helpful and detailed. We really enjoyed the course layout with many doglegs and elevation changes in a beautiful rural setting. Nice facilities including well stocked pro shop, snack bar, driving range, and putting green. Carts appeared to be new. Would definitely play here again if in the area.
Enjoyed the course
The course was nice same as last time but thought I noticed changes but not what changes.
Looking forward to the next round here,
Always enjoy playing
Great course and staff. Day light is shorter this time of year. It’s becoming more ofter of getting behind large groups of out of town players that’s are slower. They won’t let you play threw.

I'm great course for the money.
Santee National is always in great condition. Even though there were aerating the greens the greens were still in fine shape. The friendliness of the staff never goes away. Fairways were nice and lush. Tea boxes also in great shape.
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.
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.
Southern Hospitality is Real!!
Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Course was in beautiful shape and loved the overall layout. Will be back!
