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.

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.

Nice golf course

Wet conditions from previous days rain storm caused cart path only on front 9 and some areas in fairway to be unplayable. Tee boxes on some holes were very rough, but greens putted really well and true.

Good layout bad condition.

Whole golf course had very patchy grass. Including greens. Nothing wrong with the layout. I am sure at one time it was a nice course. Needs $ or a new a superintendent.

A nice round

My wife and I decided to play off of Hilton Head Island as the cost was much higher than before Covid when we last came down. Have played Rose Hill many years ago and wanted to try it again. The course was in good shape with the greens cut short and running fairly fast. It is under new management and there are noticeable improvements. We look forward to playing the course in the future to see further improvements.

On the Way Back

After reading some recent reviews, I was a little concerned about the condition of the course. I was pleased to find the course in pretty decent overall shape. I like the layout of the course and with the astronomical increase in green fees on the Island, Rose Hill provides a very nice value. As a final note, I had last played the course about nine months ago, and the course, and the greens in particular, have improved considerably.

Flat, easy course -- but slow play hurt experience

Rose Hill was in decent shape for a dry late October round. Not too tight, and flat lies make for a pretty easy round. I grew frustrated by the slow play, and because the price is good, seems that many hackers show up to play here. The marshal needs to enforce the triple bogey rule.
