Santee, SC Trip Coming Up

Any Reports on Courses, Conditions

A couple of weeks ago a few members were discussing upcoming trips to the Santee, SC area.

Our group has a trip to Santee coming up in mid April, and I was wondering if anyone had any reports on the courses and conditions.

As of now, we plan to play 36 at Santee National on Fri., 36 (at least) at Wyboo (not the Players Course) on Sat., and a final 18 at Lake Marion on Sun. Any alternate suggestions based on current conditions? I know Crowfield is a great option (may be the best course available in the GolfSantee package IMO), but a couple of the guys in the group don't want to travel the extra hour it takes to get there, so that one is out, as are the other courses with appreciable travel distances. Our other options, besides the courses already mentioned, include Santee Cooper, The Players Course at Wyboo, Shannon Greens and Foxboro. Any info on any of the courses I've mentioned would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Practice in the sand a lot, its different. I lived in Greenville, SC for most of the 1980's. When we took a trip down in the lower part of the state, the sand was hard to get out of.

Thanks much for your reply, but we've been down there before. You're right about the sand.
I live near Greenville, SC, now, as do the other guys in the group. This will be our fifth year going down there. Plus, I grew up about 10 miles north of Santee, so I know the area really well. I was really just wondering about the current course conditions.
If you ever plan to go back, PM me and I'll put you on some good bar-b-que.
