Santee Cooper Country Club is the sister course to Lake Marion, which sits less than 15 minutes away. Both courses are known for their exceptional greens that offer fast, smooth putting surfaces. The course wanders through the forests of majestic pines and native vegetation that border Lake Marion. The fairways are lined with trees and form twisting doglegs that can be quite tricky to navigate. The layout consists of an interesting mix of holes including challenging par 3s and risk-reward par 5s, which are all spread across a variety of different elevation changes. It is a golf course that will test your skills with different shot requirements, so be prepared to use every club in your bag. Santee Cooper Country Club finishes with one of the best closing holes in the area, which is partly memorable for its beautiful panoramic view of the lake.

Nice course

Fun course, good layout. Only downside was the bunkers. Some had little sand and it appeared that they hadn't been raked in some time.

Nice layout.

Overall, the course was very nice. A few of the greens had burnt spots. I'm guessing the course gets many covid golfers because I repaired probably 70 ball marks during my round. It was a 1 1/2 hour drive for me but worth it for the price.

Great Value

I've played this course before and it's very nice and out of the way. The speed of play was great and the conditions were great also. The staff is very nice and accommodating and they paired us up with a very nice member couple, Wes and Sue.

Great Round

Great golf course for the money. I got a Hot Deal and decided to drive the 45 minutes. Got there early and was allowed to go straight to the tee (7:30am). Followed a 4 some, but didn't have to wait a long time, even as a single playing two balls. Course was in good shape (better than some others I've played in the low country for the same money). Greens were a little inconsistent with speed, but rolled true and smooth. I'll be back.
