There’s an under the radar golf destination that’s making waves in South Carolina. Make 2022 the year you check out the premiere courses in Santee, SC, “Golf’s Little Big Town”?

Located Between Charleston and Columbia, you’ll find Santee, a small town (less than a 1,000 residents) with big time golf (anywhere from 20,000 golfers per weekend). What you won’t find though is expensive rounds and accommodations. Here’s what to expect in your next or first Santee round.

Not just a place for golf, Santee is also a destination for some of the state’s best outdoor activities, historic sites, and Southern cuisine. Grab some whole hog BBQ at Anthony Bourdain approved, Sweatman’s BBQ. Husband and wife duo, Bub and Margie Sweatman opened this local favorite in 1977 and have stayed committed to their 12-14 hour cooking process and secret mustard-based sauce ever since. Finish your afternoon fishing on Lake Marion, South Carolina’s largest lake and take a stab at setting the next record (16.2 lb. Largemouth Bass).

Lastly, history buffs can safely view some of the state’s history by walking the Swamp Fox Murals Trail. Located along the Santee River, these historic murals depict General Francis Marion and the Southern Campaign of the American Revolution. Enhance the experience by downloading the “Clarendon County Tour” app for a guided tour.
