Santee Cooper Country Club
Santee, SC · 1.0 mi away
Santee Cooper Country Club is a semi-private course in Santee, opened in 1967 and designed by George Cobb. The par-72 layout plays to about 6,578 yards through tall pines, with doglegs, strategic bunkering, risk-reward par 5s and more elevation change than you expect this close to the lake. The closing hole finishes with a panoramic view of Lake Marion. The club has hosted the SCGA Senior Better Ball for 50 years and was named the SCGA Club of the Year in 2023.
Santee National Golf Club
Santee, SC · 1.4 mi away
Santee National Golf Club is a public course in Santee, South Carolina, about 30 minutes from Columbia and 45 minutes from Charleston, just off I-95. Designed by Porter Gibson and built in 1989, the 18-hole, par-72 layout mixes an open front nine with a rolling, tree-lined back nine through mossy oaks and loblolly pines. The course carries 40 bunkers and five water hazards, with Bermuda fairways and Champion Ultradwarf Bermuda greens. Its par-3 17th, framed by a nearby church, is a locally noted hole, and the finishing hole runs from a lake to the clubhouse.
Crowfield Golf & Country Club
Goose Creek, SC · 40 mi away
Crowfield Golf & Country Club occupies the site of the former Crowfield Plantation in Goose Creek, South Carolina, with plantation garden ruins visible near one of the greens. Bob Spence, working with Tom Jackson, designed the course, which opened around 1989 and is owned and operated by the City of Goose Creek. The layout has more elevation change and mounded fairways than is typical for the South Carolina lowcountry, running through hardwood-lined corridors with water affecting play on more than half the holes. From the back tees the course stretches to roughly 7,000 yards at a par of 72. Crowfield offers five sets of tees to accommodate a range of playing abilities and is open to public play.
