Santee National Golf Club

Enjoyed the round with 3 buddies who also had a great time. Pretty interesting. Quite a few dog legs and some surprising elevation changes to be so close to the coast. In fact, on some of the blind up hill shots, worth taking a look at the green first as some have multiple levels not visible from the fairway.

Only complaints:

15th Hole

Greens keeper must have been angry when he set that flag as even well struck shots with wedges could not be stopped.

Two of our players hit great putts that were rolling so slow you could read the logos as they approached the hole but they still ended up off the green. Another played from below the hole and the ball stopped and then rolled back to almost the exact spot! No pars but a lot of laughing!!!
Tee boxes - more than a few were wet, uneven or lacking grass.

Cart paths:

Some real teeth rattlers!

All that being said, I will play it again!

Very unfriendly staff, course was below average at best. Guy in the pro shop needs to find a job where he doesn’t have to interact with the public. Terrible experience. Do not recommend. Drove off the cart path one time and they come fussing.

Great course along 95. Challenging layout and greens

I'd play here again. Front 9 was easier, a few holes on the tighter back were a bit out of whack. Like a 205 par 3 from the whites? My average driver is 210. Every thing considered the greens were nice, the fairways smooth, and the rough benign. No complaints at all.

What an excellent layout and course conditions.
Green speeds were not lightning quick enough to keep your interest, especially down grain downhill. I read in another review that this was a golf course with many dog legs and placement golf. There were only three or four holes that required this type of play, which was a good mix with the more traditional holes. I will play it again in a second when I am in the area.

Santee National is truly a splendid golf course, especially considering the price is one of the most reasonable prices in the low country. If your driver is your main weapon, beware. The front night has a few dog like that will take it out of your hands, but overall it lulls you into a sense of security with wide-open fairways. However, the back nine will test your decision making skills with several drastic doglegs that make the driver difficult to hit. In addition to the hard right and left hand turns, trees are much more prevalent along the edges of the rough. Some of the greens on both sides have drastic slopes that don’t look terrible from the Teebox but how much more intimidating up close. Course conditions were very nice and my experience with the pro shop staff was positive. I really look forward to playing this course again to get some redemption on some of the holes. I wish I had done better on.

This course was in great shape. The layout was exceptional. Don't miss this course if you have a chance to play it.

Great Value Great Condition and Very Friendly Staff and Snack Bar Staff

We've had so much rain in our area that our local courses have been wet with cart path ony conditions. We were pleasantly surprised that this wasn't the case here! The course was in great shape, greens were fast and we practically had the course to ourselves. The gentlemen in the pro shop couldn't be any nicer! We will be back!

Course was in excellent shape. Fairways and greens were good, tee boxes good. Layout was nice (lot of doglegs holes though). Pace of play was good.

Only complaint would be the excessive bugs/gnats. Maybe its the location or time of yr but we played other courses in the area where the bugs were not as bad.

My son and I played this course with one of his friends. We enjoyed our round and played at a good pace. Staff was friendly and the range and course were in good shape. Greens were soft because a lot of rain the previous day but they rolled well and were in very good shape. We will definitely play again.

In super nice condition, played two different days first day was able to start a few minutes before tee time, had one guy in front of us but he played super fast, we had nobody behind us to worry about and there was atleast 10 different employees out maintaining the course from raking bunkers, rolling greens, blowing off greens, cutting grass, trimming around the greens etc it was awesome , the 2nd day playing not as much employees out but had a group of 6 go out in front of us and they even kept pace of play up and we hardly had to wait. I will definitely play this course again best course within 45 minutes

I enjoyed playing the course, will be playing regularly.

Was able to go to Santee national twice the last few weekends because of the amazing hot deals. Have enjoyed both times. The greens have been aerated so the putting is a little difficult sometimes, but thoroughly enjoyed both times playing here. Would highly recommend.

Greens being aerated so that was why they did not get 5 stars across all
