Rose Hill Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Rose Hill Golf Club in Bluffton is situated amongst plentiful live oaks draped with Spanish moss. There are also sparkling, crystal-clear lakes that come into play on several holes. The golf course is a part of Rose Hill Plantation, giving it a truly Southern look and feel. Most of the holes are flat and straightforward but there are a few tricky doglegs to keep the course interesting. The layout features formidable par 3s that will test even the best players and a notably difficult par 5 that measures just over 600 yards. The challenging holes are balanced with player-friendly features that make it versatile enough for a wide range of skill levels. Four sets of tees, the longest coming to just over 6,900 yards, make Rose Hill Golf Club even more accessible.

Hi. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We see you rated the course 1 star and are interested in learning what we can do to improve for your next visit. We take single-star feedback very seriously at our course. You are welcome to comment further or reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback.

Ok value for price
Muddy fairways but it did rain the night before. Greens below average. Tee boxes all muddy. Not the best drainage system. Nice wide fairways
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. With the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Rose Hill Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Disappointing at best
My wife and I played Rose Hill for the first time. It was a sloppy mess with the grass on the fairways very sparse and the greens soaking wet. This time of year for sure. We will come back when it's dry and grown back in. We liked the layout but the conditions were a real detriment to our enjoyment. It'll get better in the spring.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Rose Hill Golf Club!
Great value course
Great value for the area. Staff is super friendly and the course is in good shape. Greens were nice and the value is hard to beat.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, micahcale321. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Rose Hill Golf Club!
Need to Schedule Groups more Efficiently
The clubhouse was great, delicious lunch, friendly people. The difficulty was in scheduling the tee times. We were a group of three, but before we even teed off, there was a twosome and even a single, waiting behind us. We allowed three different single golfers to play through, until we had enough. Our 9 hole time was quickly coming up on 2 1/2 hours just because of all the times we stopped to let others play through. The course was what you would typically expect for a resort area course, neither exceptional nor poor. Fair layout from both the center tees and the forward tees, no unusual or tricky spots. After the round, the cart guy told us that the nicer weather that afternoon prompted a lot of walk-ins and the club house just sent them out one at a time.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the difficulty in scheduling tee times and the impact it had on your round. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will take your comments into consideration to improve our operations.
Getting better
First time playing Rose Hill in a while. The course itself has improved but still needs some TLC. The greens are in good shape except for the occasional weed in the way. They roll true and a little slow. The tee boxes needed to be mowed especially if you don’t use a tee on par 3s. The fairways are descent but still have patches of weeds or dead spots. The sand traps are in need of the most care. They were mainly packed mud with no loose sand to get under. They need to be broken up and churned restore to descent play. The last comment is the rough is need of mowing. The depth when I played was half an inch taller than a ball (I checked by dropping a ball at my feet). Several times shots 3’ off the fairways were found only by looking straight down. Frustrating and slowed paced of play.
I will be back in 6 months to see if new management has upkept course over the winter. The course is on the mend.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent experience at Rose Hill. We appreciate your observations and apologize for any shortcomings you encountered during your visit. We are constantly working to improve the course and will take your comments into consideration as we strive to provide a better experience for our guests.

Rose Hill is Improving
Played 9 holes. Haven't played here since December. The course is definitely improving. All the greens were good except for a dead spot on 1 green. Pace if play was perfect. Definitely will be playing there again.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u314162421702. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Rose Hill Golf Club!
I liked layout. course was in horrible shape. tall fairways and greens were some of worst I've played on. was probably once a nice course and could be again if taken care of. definitely not worth the $50 to play.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any disappointment you experienced with the condition of our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve the overall experience for our future players.
Great Father Son Outing
I wanted to take my aspiring 12 year old son to a course near Hilton Head Island. Rose Hill showed up on the Golf Now app and had some available tee times for the mid morning. I’m not an avid golfer but we had a great time playing 9 holes. The staff was very warm, friendly, and helpful. They asked how old my son was and gave a junior rate for him since he was 12 and saved me even more money. The staff was upfront that the course had been under different management in the past but that they work actively working to improve conditions and make the golf experience even better.
We had a great time and would definitely go back. We did see a few gators but that’s to be expected in this area.

Bad Greens
The entire course every green was diseased. No notice of any green conditions. It was comparable to playing aerated greens. Unfortunately no mention was given before choosing. Please call to check course conditions or it will be a waste of money. We could not putt on that surface. Greens surface looked like a bunker.

Best for price
This course has a really cool layout with a couple challenging holes. The staff was very kind and helpful. The only downside to this course is it’s greens and fairway maintenance. If this course was maintained better it would probably be one my favorite places to play.
Hello
Thank you for visiting us at Rose Hill Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great price
I knew coming here the course was in a somewhat tough condition. The greens were poor. But I spoke with the greenskeeper and told him I do like the layout, the price and convenience to where we are. He explained that last fall was when the greens had the problem and this spring hasn’t helped the conditions. But he said they do have a plan to fix them and he asked me to return and play after they do the work. I said I would. I have to give him credit for understanding what’s going on and I didn’t want to pile on. I will be back. Thank you for the courtesy.

Not even close to worth the price
The greens are absolutely horrible, they should stay off of the greens if they ever want them to come back to normal. This course is definitely not worth the $50 to play it

Not worth the money
I’m going to give Rose hill the benefit of the doubt and say the course condition was only due to it being February. Otherwise the I couldn’t t tell the difference between fairway and rough. The ground was either rock hard or pure mud. The greens were in horrible condition, with uneven grass and dead spots leading to no real golf to be played. The pace on the front nine was extremely slow, apparently due to a scramble that had started on the 13th hole to avoid backing up the rest of the course, which didn’t succeed. And no starter.
If you’re looking for a neighborhood golf course with no rules then this is your place. Don’t expect much out of the course.
