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.

Fun Course
We’ve played Rose Hill a number of times. We enjoy the layout, it’s fun to play and challenging. We teed off at 10:30 and walked off the course at 2:15, great pace of play but with not many we saw on the course. The only issue we had was the shape of the greens. They were quite burned out or waterlogged and some had very little living grass on them. Hopefully the warmer weather will help them rejuvenate over the next few months. We’ll be back for sure. It’s a great value for the money. Thanks to all the friendly staff they are a joy to queen with.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you had enjoyed your time at Rose Hill Golf Club, and pride ourselves on delivering the best experience possible.
We hope to see you again soon!
Rough greens
Played this occasionally for 4 or 5 years. Greens seemed to be going in the right direction, with improvement year over year. Something happened and the greens are in the roughest shape I recall. So bad, in fact, I will abandon my next T Time in favor of another course. I don't plan on returning for at least a year or 3.

NEEDS ATTENTION
The greens were terrible, like putting on packed mud. Wasn't really worth the $55 per person Golf Now "deal" we paid.
The greens were the worst, but the tee boxes and fairways were all below average

This course was completely average. There is little to recommend it, other than it was close to people we were to meet later.
I didn't think the course conditions were up to the standards of other local courses. But I'd heard some comments about winter weather. So continued average.

Oh My
Course was in terrible condition. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in terrible shape. The greens were especially bad, as several consisted of green-dyed dirt rather than grass. This course was a huge disappointment, and at $60 something per person, it was extremely overpriced. This is one of the worst conditioned courses I have ever played. At a quarter-of-a-grand for a foursome, it felt like a crime was perpetrated. Understand the course is in the process of changing ownership; it will take a complete season to repair the course. Will not play again. Golf Now should discontinue this course on its offerings.
Poor conditions
I played this course years ago and it was a great course. I was so disappointed while playing this course this week. Greens were in horrible shape. Not much grass on any greens. Numerous tees were in bad shape as well. Supposedly they just hired a new management company to take care of course but they have a long way to go.

Disappointed Again
End of March in the Low Country and many of the greens had no grass. And once again the course was muddy despite very little recent rain. This place is a shame for the members and homeowners in the plantation. I would consider living in Rose Hill but that would be foolish based on the way the Club and Golf Course is maintained! Property values definitely have to suffer!

Course conditioning
The greens were impossible to putt due to the lack of grass. The greens that did have some grass were unsuitable because there was two different types of grass that were different heights.

I am hoping for better conditions by May (or soon after)
It has been an interesting number of years playing at Rose Hill.
The Management has gone through several changes.........I think this is a main reason for poor Conditions over the years.
With IMG coming on board last year, some improvements were seen in the Fall of 2022.......(the course was in about as POOR shape as could be.)
Unfortunately, those improvements brought the course from literally a D- grade to a D.....where it remains today. I simply cannot recommend the course to anyone paying beyond whatever they think a Golf Cart price ONLY should be.......simply do not consider paying $10 above that amount.
Without 'piling on'.........any golfer considering paying $$ to play needs to know that the Tee Boxes are less than a C.....certainly not a deal-breaker.
The 'off fairways' are about a C. The Traps are perhaps the best Grade....perhaps a B+. Unfortunately, what is MOST important to golfers are the last two perspectives.....that is where this course simply needs SO, SO, MUCH improvement. First, the Fairways are Poor, sparse grass, and 'interesting' turf. It simply is NOT easy to hit off....and if you like a 'fluffy' lie, you simply are not going to get it here. Then, what is generally the MOST important for golfers are the GREENS..........and the grade here is in the vicinity of a D. Perhaps with warm weather in upcoming weeks, some grass on the Fairways and Greens will improve conditions where it can be enjoyable to play!!!!
Rose Hill has a formidable layout.....better than 'decent' on the Front Nine, and NICE on the Back Nine.
It is certainly CHALLENGING.......its Biggest Strength!! (Think Approach shots to Greens well protected by front Sand Traps.)
It will be interesting to see how Course Conditions improve this Spring/Summer. IMG is a well know player in Course Management. They will spend assets well.....will those assets allocated be enough?
I sure hope so......................and I will HAPPILY post a more positive review when the current POOR conditions improve.
