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.

Poor condition

I have played Rose Hill maybe 6 or 8 times. Never have seen the course in this bad of a condition. Several greens were really in bad shape. Tee boxes were not cut. Won’t go back for a long while

Big improvement over the last time I played just 1 month ago. Fairways and tees were pretty lush. A few greens still need some work but overall a night and day difference. Very pleased with the work and money they put in.

Enjoyable Round

The greens are being repaired, so they were a little slow and patchy in places. The staff explained the situation to us before we played so we knew what we were getting into. They also offered a discounted rate due to the greens being in process of recovering. The layout was challenging with plenty of water and OB throughout. The course was nevertheless playable. I’ll be back.

Much needed improvements are progressing

I have already written a few reviews of this course.

My last review mentioned that efforts are taking place.

This is NOT a pristine Golf Course; please understand that.

If you have never played it, and expect NICE conditions, this course simply is not there yet.

It may/may not be there in the next few months.

I have played a few courses in the area that have similar conditions, two lesser with a lesser price, and one lesser with a higher price. Courses that are MUCH NICER carry price tags of 1.5-2.5 times higher.

My reason for posting (again) is that there IS at least EFFORT going into the course to improve it.

Recently, greens were worked on, and sanded......they need some water from Mother Nature to help the process. The fairways now have grass that provides the lie you need, if not directly where your ball sits, at least with a 'preferred' lie.

I have mentioned that the strength of this course is its layout.....a formidable challenge, with greens protected by bunkers....it is Not an easy course. The challenge is better than some of the "HIGH" priced courses in the area.

I will say that if you play there, there are three consecutive greens on the Back Nine that will be a LONG time before they will be fun to play...........maybe take a 'two-putt' on those to make your day enjoyable.

My point is, despite not great conditions, it is a POSITIVE to see the EFFORT being made at Rose Hill.

I suspect i will play again there.................and will update as things progress.

Terrible course

Obviously they have let this one go. Greens are almost all gone. Terrible waste of money. Not able to use the HONOR code or my credits. The website would not allow it. So bad all around day.

1st time at Rose Hill

Staff was very cordial , Layout was very good but long. There weren’t too many easy holes. I thought # 10 was tge most challenging ( for me)

A number of the greens were in need of repair and a couple of the fairways were somewhat damaged by rain ( a little soggy).

Would play here again.

What could be …. isn’t

Appealing view from the road …. Gated entrance …. Good looking clubhouse … bag drop attendant …. Then reality set in.

The putting green was like off roading …. Hit the first tee and lots of dirt, fairways had no new grass growth and the green was almost unplayable. Thought it would get better. Nada. Every hole was the same but some greens simply had no grass around the holes.

The layout is great. Somebody put some money into this place and it could be worth the $$$.

If you do play bring your own drinks and grub. Nothing offered here.

Pretty disappointed for the money spent.
