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.

Terrible
Terrible course. Absolute mess. Greens were terrible
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.

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.

UNBELIEVABLE
UNFORTUNATELY I LET SOMEONE TALK ME INTO PLAYING THIS COURSE. ITS BEEN ABOUT TWO SINCE I LAST PLAYED IT AND IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. I HEARD THAT THE MEMBERSHIP HAD HIREE A COMPANY TO RUN THE COURSE. IF THGATS THE CASE THAN THEY HAVE RUN THE CONDITION IN TO THE GROUND AND TAKEN OFF WITH ANY INCOME THEY MAY HAVE RECEIVED. ITS A SHAME, THE BACK NINE ISNT A BAD DESIGN BUT THE OVERALL CONDITION WAS HORRENDOUS. GREENS HAD LITTLE PUFFS OF GRASS TRYING TO GROW THROUGH THE BLYTE, THE FAIRWAY'S HAD BUGS THAT SOME ANIMALS WERE DIGGING UP TO EAT LEAVING HOLES AND MOLE LOIKE TUNNELS PUSHING UP DIRT EVERYWHERE.. I WILL NEVER GO BACK UNLESS THEY RE-DO THE ENTIRE FRONT NINE AND TOTALLY RE-SEED THE BACK NINE AND BRING IT UP TO A CONDITION THAT IS WORTH PAYING ANYTHING TO PLAY IT.

Anything but rosy
This course should be closed this month. I have never played on a course that did not have grass on its greens.. Practically all of the tbox’ s were muddy. Hilton Head deserves better for all tourist golfers.

Sad to see this fun course in such poor shape
I have played RHf for 30+ years. The greens are all dead. It is sad to see this fun course in such horrible shape. Sorry, but I won’t return. Needs big financial infusion.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Wait until May
The positives: price was reasonable, course very picturesque,, staff nice.
The negatives: fairways thin, worst greens I’ve ever played.
Speaking with the staff, and recognizing we played in mid-March when nighttime temps still in upper 30s/low 40’s, apparently the greens recover as the temps warm up. I certainly hope so.
Amazingly, it was still an enjoyable course to play.

Needs a lot of work
I thought Crescent Pointe green were bad, which they are. These are worse. Supposedly, there is new ownership and will be bringing in sod. Hopefully, this happens as it is a nice layout. On the plus side, the fairway and green side traps are in great shape. Tees are a mess as well. Fairway grass is sparse.

Great layout, staff helpful and friendly but
Having seen the course for years decided to try. All good but tee boxes, fairways, traps and greens….Too bad… hopefully new ownership can turn it around

Chernobyl comes to mind! more clay than grass on the greens. Should just call it a day and put up homes.

Awful round
The course was in horrible shape - the greens were unplayable. The clubhouse was open only in the pro shop- not the bar or snack area. Could not even buy a water at the turn. When we complained about the conditions to the cart guy at the end, he blew us off and said it was better shape now that it had been a few months before.

The first 9 is like playing in a swamp.
No.grass. Clay greens. Pathetic overall conditions. Should be free!!

Golf course
Played last week there for the first time maintenance was out working in the course made it a little disturbing but they are starting to try to bring the course back to its normal condition heard the course was closed for a couple of years due to the previous owners did not keep it up greens were a little rough need lots of work but there was a little more grass on them from last week fairways are really hard to hit to much hard pan over all it has a lot of potential can’t wait to see it next season.

Unhappy
Played in early March so course condition was expected Fellow who met us in the parking lot was very friendly and helpful. Staff in the Pro Shop was not - actually kind of demeaning when asked questions. Had no water available to purchase on 85 degree day.
