Few Southeast golf destinations offer better bang for the buck than Santee, roughly equidistant from Charleston, Columbia and Florence and convenient to I-95 for drive-in traffic. Notable courses here include Lake Marion Golf Course ($64), Santee Cooper Country Club ($66) and Santee National Golf Club ($66). An exciting new golf amenity to the destination, the Palmetto Traverse putting course, is located at Lake Marion Golf Course and has created some buzz since it opened in 2019. The best area course, though, is Orangeburg Country Club, a private Ellis Maples design that was renovated by Richard Mandell in 2009; access is possible through Golf Santee.
