Course Highlights
Rose Hill's staff consistently earns high praise for their warmth and genuine engagement with players on and off the course. The thoughtfully designed layout offers solid variety and delivers strong value for the experience.

Rating 73.5

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.

Great Course

Played Rose Hill Golf Course as a guest on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. The course was great. Greens were outstanding. The lay out was great and the course was very fair. I strongly recommend playing this course. Next time I am in Hilton Head, I will play this course.

Good for the beginner

The staff at the golf course were exceptionally friendly and actively monitored the entire course in real-time. While some might find this level of supervision slightly bothersome, I personally appreciated their dedication to maintaining the course's condition.

As a beginner, I found the course's level of difficulty to be quite manageable, which was perfect for me. However, I must note that more experienced players may not find it challenging enough.

Overall, I had a positive experience at the golf course. Thank you!

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.

Vastly improved

I played this course several times during the winter of 2023. The conditions were not very good at that time. The course has improved immensely since then. The fairways are in great shape. The tee boxes also. The greens are very good. Could not rate the bunkers as it was very rainy the previous several days and the bunkers were compact and some had water in them. The staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. It was a great day even though my golf game was not so good. :) I will certainly be back and highly recommend the course as a great value.

Impressed with Rose Hill Course

First time playing rose hill due to concerns over ratings but absolutely loved the course. Probably my favorite layout of the handful of courses I've played in the area. Course conditions were good considering tropical storm had come through within the week. Greens were slow but chalked that up to all the rain but almost all of them were in very good condition. Staff was friendly and pace of play was great. Didn't run over anybody or anyone catch us for a holiday. The only thing I would pick at would be the pro shop only had complimentary waters so had to wait until 11 for restaurant to open to get anything else but with the new management this may improve.

Overall I will return to play and would recommend anyone to give this course a chance.

Headed in the right direction

Still quite a few rough spots but course is definitely headed in the right direction. Greens are not bad, fairways a little patchy and tee boxes still need some love but pleased to see the effort being put in to get this course back in condition. Will definitely be back.

Needed mowing

I know the rains, especially the tropical storm Idalia, made it impossible to mow for a few days, but that wasn't a surprise. They should've mowed in preparation. I exaggerate not--I've played courses with fairways better to putt on than the greens at Rose Hill.

It's time to come back and give this course a try

WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT !!!

Months ago, I simply couldn't recommend this course. Now, I suggest you give it a try.

While it still is in need of more improvements, it has come a LONG, LONG way.

(From perhaps an "F"...to a C+.....and likely to be a B- when I play it next (they were aerating the greens).

If you played it much earlier this year, please take my advice and try it again. In its current condition, it is one of the better Value$ is the area..

And, I have no doubt.....withe their CONSTANT efforts.....it is going to be even BETTER when I review it next time.

Had a GREAT time. Best Course For The Money.

We couldn't have had a much better time than we did today. The staff treated us as best buddies. The course is in very good condition and I've got to say I/we were very happy with the play of the greens. The layout makes it enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding. I was told the clubhouse will be reopening with in the week which is only going to make us come back because of reputation the restaurant has on Hilton Head Island. This course was rated one of the best in the Hilton Head area for a very good reason, Best Course For The Money.

Course Needs Work

As advised when paying, course under new management again, about third time in last five or six years. Course went downhill for awhile but improvements under way! Good luck with that and getting bar/restaurant open again. Pro shop staff friendly and shop well stocked. Will check progress next year when down visiting daughter and family.
