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.

Bunkers suck.
I would have given the course conditions 5 stars if the bunkers were playable. Some of the bunkers are full of water and some are just mud. One of the other courses in the area is redoing there bunkers and Santee National should follow their example.
Rainy day in SC
Love the course. Pace of play was slow because of rain delay. Course soaked, but still played ok. Great time.
Beautiful Course
The course was in great condition. All the staff were helpful & friendly. Would love to play it again!
Flat front nine, hilly back nine
Course was cart path only due to previous day’s showers & poor course drainage. Terrible customer service @ check-in and a rude, curt employee (I think was head pro) who obviously didn’t want to be there. The golf cart had break problems and the cart paths were in absolutely the worst condition possible—dug up, rutted out, had big rocks on them and mostly torn completely up! What a mess! With a lot of work, course could be made worth the price but right now it’s rip-off city!!
Shiver Your Teeth Out
Worse cart paths I’ve every seen—and it was “carts path only” after heavy storms night prior to playing! If you didn’t drive REALLY SLOWLY on the cart paths you would’ve needed seat belts to avoid being thrown from the cart—they were that bad!
Pro shop personnel curt, unfriendly and taking phone calls first befOre waiting on customers. Nowhere near worth the money to play!! A waste of time & money!
We really like this course
Beautiful fun to play course. Greens are wicked fast but roll true. Well maintained course and the golf carts were super nice
Beautiful course , silent most of the time
Definitely check out this diamond in the rough, in the middle of nowhere yet next to I-95 along with 2 other golf courses. Must visit, must stay, must play.
Disappointed
No players, too many cheap rounds, and not nearly enough invested in course conditions. Don’t bother if you are looking for good course conditions.
Don't waste your money/time!! Rude staff
This will be my last time playing this course. The staff at the course have zero customer service skills. The one individual who claims to be the manager is always on a major power trip. He speaks to customers in a rude and demeaning tone. He couldn't manage a Burger King drive-thru. I have witnessed him raise his voice, and lose his cool. I believe that part of the golf experience is how you are treated by the staff, and this guy will ruin your experience. There are a couple of better courses in the area with much friendlier staff, who are always willing to accommodate. Please take your money to a course who treats customers with respect.
Pleasant afternoon
The course looked pretty shabby. Greens could not be called greens but « browns »
This has the potential to be a lovely course. Yardage indications would help. We met a nice couple
