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.

Really a decent course
Was no comparison to the last couple of times I played here over a two to three year period. Really good shape for the area. (Unplayable the last time I played here). One blaring problem was pace of play. I played alone the front now nine very fast…nice! Got to the back nine and was told by the single in front of me that he just had a 2:30 hour front nine behind 12 very slow players. Bottom line; I got a nine hole rain check and left ( nice addition). The single also quit after 9. I wanted to continue but had no time. Was told some had jumped on at #10. Better course management would help! I will be back with the hopes of a faster pace.

This was the worst course I have ever played
This course was in terrible condition! The greens were the worst greens I have ever seen in my life! Every green was covered with weeds and was jumping together years war I’ll make a stupid mistake in Japan virtually impossible to putt on. I would not recommend this course to any golfer, no matter their skill level. The course management is only interested in taking your money, not maintaining the golf course.
I only rated the pace of play five stars because there was no one else stupid enough to be on that course.
Poor Conditions
Course was in disrepair. Greens bumpy and full of poanna. We were told that the course is better than it was. Wish we played somewhere else but couldn’t get our money back. There should have been a disclaimer from Golf Now before we selected this course.

Just OK
We have come to the Hilton Head area for over 20 years. We played at Rose Hill back then and again about 10 years ago and the course was in pretty good shape back then. This time the greens had sprouts of what looked like crab grass causing a pinball effect on the greens. Very hard to hit a putt straight. We saw the ball get deflected quite a bit.
The staff like marshals were friendly. We did play in under four hours. We know the course has had issues and it seems it has a bit to go to get us to play again.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, eagleho72. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Rose Hill Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Dog track
Really bad. Greens have so many weeds it makes putting impossible. Fairways need cut and tee boxes are thin. Looks like they have new owners because they were remodeling the clubhouse but unfortunately that’s the last thing they need to worry about.
Hi Arthur9869210, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.
The greens take away from the round. They are bumpy with tufts of grass growing. The front 9 is worse than the back. The back 9 is noticeably better. Traps are very well maintained. I have played Rose Hill since the early 90s and know that it has had several ownership changes and are going through one now. It appears as if they are making a real effort to improve the course. I'm looking forward to seeing how much better it is next year.

Greens on the front are in horrible shape - lumpy grass growing - the back 9 are better. Wanted to buy tees in the pro shop and they had run out of tees. ????

We appreciate your feedback as we work to make any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon at Rose Hill Golf Club.
Improvement
The overall course has improved but the greens are still in very poor shape. Weedy and bumpy. It took away from good shots from tee to green.

Back to Rose Hill
Our local golf group used to play here regularly. We welcomed the chance to play Rose Hill again, especially after the course was closed for so long. The staff is still very courteous, as they always have been. You can tell that the new ownership is investing in it's success. Be patient. The course is better than it was under Hallmark, but still needs a bit more time to get it where everyone wants it to be. We'll be back with more of us!!
Not new ownership we own the golf course. New management of the golf course. correct.?
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Rose Hill Golf Club!
THIS COURSE WAS WORSE THAN A CORN FIELD
The aFairways were thin, ok for this time of year. The rough was not cut and probably had not been for at least 10 days. Balls that rolled off the fairway could not be found. Shots that did not hit the green were not able to find. Some of the tee boxes were so high with grass you couldn't see the markers.
We play around the area twice a week but the group will definitely not choose to play this course again. I'ts not even acceptable for free. The residents of Rose Hill should be mortified by the condition of the course. Then to actually ask $50.00+ to play it. After we got there I understood why the TeeTime was still available at a cut rate the day before. Sorry to vent but this was not a golf course. Cow Pastures are in better condition
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.
Hallmark is gone.
Hallmark management is gone and IGM is in charge. I have seen more being done here than I have seen in three months. IMG is group that under stands agronomy which Hallark had no clue. It may take some time to fix Hallmarks mistakes but we are on our way.
