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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Enjoyable, if you have few expectations

Springtime in HHI; playing as a couple, our goal was to have a low-cost, quiet day to ourselves (i.e., we were in Duffer not A-game mode). Not an easy task...

You can read the other reviews about the course conditions. They are not overstated. The greens were heartbreaking and the stuff (I'm guessing) of a superintendent's nightmare. The potential is there, and I hope they figure out how to turn it around. That said, we had a picture-perfect day. Layout and vistas for a course built around a development is quite lovely. Front 9 was a bit slow with some novice players in front of us (who did not quite understand letting faster players play thru). Once we scooted around them, all was well, and we had the back 9 entirely to ourselves.

Staff was kind and very welcoming. Nicely stocked pro shop. On course restrooms were well maintained. Clubhouse looked nice but we did not use.

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!
