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.

Fantastic Greens
Lots of rain. Couldn't play bunkers as they were full of water. Price was great and the greens were very nice
Great value
This course is a little out of the way, thus not a lot of people there. Given the time of year (early Feb) the grass was in good shape. Recent rain left bunkers with puddles of water, but not terribly so. Greens excellent shape.

Found this Gem on the way back to AVL
Beautiful Course . Layout was awesome. Greens were extremely slow will try this course again and hope the greens have been mowed/rolled. Was like putting on shag carpet
On another note I can not post my score to GHIN because I played the Gold Tees and this course has restricted GHIN to only allow women to post scores for red tees. At least that is what I was told. Please update the tee box selection. There are plenty of woman that play back tee boxes. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. Your feedback about GHIN scoring is important to us and will pass it on to our management team. We look forward to seeing you again on the course soon! Thanks for choosing @SanteeNational.

Santee National
Mid 70’s and moderate wind made for an excellent early Feb golf day. Over seeded fairways were well maintained and greens rolled well. Previous rain made a few fairways soft but playable. Long par 3’s and a few sloping greens made this an interesting test. Staff was very congenial, nice range and putting green. Perfect stop while heading south.

Great Value
Once again had a blast at Santee. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive from summerville. Played after rain so bunkers were ponds. Greens painted rolled good (fast) just give it a tap. Would recommend to anyone close to book a tee time.

Great Winter time golf
I really enjoy playing this course. The course is in great shape consider it is winter in the SC. The over seeding has taken quite well and the greens ate fast and true.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. @SanteeNational thanks you!

Worth the ride...
It's a 42 mile drive to Santee National Golf Course, but it's an easy drive on 26 and 95. I've played this course a number of times and have always had a great experience. I've found the first 3rd of the course to lure you in with the undulations and accessibility which often promotes good play from me. I've found that the course becomes more challenging as you progress through the holes and all 4 par 3's will test your long irons. I've brought both friends and family members to this course over the years and plan to continue in the future.

Nice playable layout
My wife and I played on back to back days in late October shortly after they had reseeded. The new seed was in the process of filling in so things were not quite at their peak condition, that being said the it was still very enjoyable. The layout was very playable for both of us, and while we play regularly we are average at best. The staff were welcoming and did everything possible to make our experience enjoyable. I would love to come back and play here again when it is in top condition!

Challenging layout
Tee boxes, fairways and greens in good shape.
Bunkers thin and had small rocks . These need sand. Greens are to read. Some of that was the grain. Weather was great. Can’t hit driver off every tee and some par threes from the white are 200 yards - yikes.
It sounds like you had a good time! Thank you for your 4-star review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team @SanteeNational. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
