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.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6961 yards
Slope 139
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.

Greens aren't green

I played Rose Hill many years ago. Conditions were good at that time. I've always loved the layout. When I played it recently, I was extremely disappointed with the greens. Many are bare. The green fees were much more than the course is worth. $25 would be a fair price to play.

They are trying!

We checked reviews and first saw how everyone was talking bad about the conditions before it was bought out by new ownership. The staff is extremely nice! They brought the carts to the truck and loaded up all 4 of our bags. The club house seems to be very new and nice. The course has the potential to be gorgeous and amazing golf, however for the time being I wouldn’t go back simple from conditions. Maybe in a year or so after new ownership continues to revamp the course, I’ll drive by and see if it’s any better. Until the. I wouldn’t play it again. Great staff and one of the best prices in Hilton head. Just very very poor conditions of all fairways, greens ans tee boxes. Except for the 18th.

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.

They are certainly trying to make it better

I wrote a review about a month ago; am sending a follow-up.

While the course has a very long way to go.....I want to commend them for the effort that are putting in to improve the Course.

Grass is beginning to grow, the Greens have been verti-cut, and sanded and sprayed....so there ARE things happening at Rose Hill.

They also have new metal signs at Tee boxes, that is a nice touch.

It will be a good thing if the efforts they are applying take hold...........when they do, I will review again.

The worse course we have ever played on

Conditions of greens are terrible, hard dirt and your ball jumps all over the place. We read the reviews but decided to find out for ourselves. The lesson here is take reviews seriously. $110 wasted dollars.

Getting Better

We've played Rose Hill a number of times since 1/1/23 and find the course conditions are improving every time we go. The greens are still in tough shape, but the staff tell us there is a plan to reconfigure them with the new ownership, and that's good news. We love the layout and find it a playable challenge. We'll keep coming back.

terrible conditions

The greens were more brown and lacking any kind of playable putting surface. Not even a good practice green.

The fairways were okay to play and offered lots of room. Plenty of bunkers to make it challenging to navigate.

There was no food or snacks available. Lack of any kind of warning there is no lunch or snack opportunity before arriving or after arriving at the clubhouse to check in was a bit annoying. Hard to finish playing when super hungry.
