Golfers should waste no time getting to the links at one of Santee's 11 spectacular courses, including the prestigious Wyboo Golf Club. Frequented by golfers of varying ages and experience, this public golf course features an interesting mix of lateral water, sloping greens and well-placed bunkers. All types of outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the adventures on Palmetto Trail. Stretching 13 miles in Santee alone, the trail, with its picturesque natural beauty, is the perfect place for biking, hiking or camping. After working up an appetite, head to Clarke's Restaurant and Pub, where your mouth will water at the sight and aroma of authentic Southern cooking. Enjoy fine food and spirits in this cozy fireside atmosphere. Top off your meal with a hand-dipped ice cream cone at the nostalgic Santee General Store, where you can also shop for souvenirs and other items. A town landmark, this charmingly quaint store stocks a good selection of jellies, preserves, ciders, dressings and much more.
Visitors who enjoy fishing can have a great time year round in the Santee Cooper Lakes System, which consists of the vast Lake Moultrie and the cypress-dotted Lake Marion. These lakes are filled with all sorts of exciting catches—from channel catfish to striped bass to shellcracker—and currently hold several state records. When the sun goes down, dance the night away after a delectable dinner at LT's Restaurant and Nite Life. A popular spot with a casual atmosphere, LT's lounge, which offers live entertainment, is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday while the restaurant is open nightly.
