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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

Beautiful layout - course in bad shape

A beautiful layout with Spanish Moss lined trees all over. Nice water holes. However, very poor maintenance. Roughs were wet and very long, fairways were soaked, but the worst part were the greens which were a mix of bermuda and crabgrass. Also mowed very long. With some care this could be a beautiful course.

A lot to be desired

Course was in pretty bad shape. Greens were like putting on shaggy carpet with the added benefit of sections of each green that were comparable to being in the rough. While the Hit Deal of $39.99 a person for a 9 am round made it less painful, knowing how bad the condition of the course was in advance would have been nice. Very disappointing

The greens are in terrible shape.

The grass was primarily Bermuda but there was also a lot of long stemmed grass on the green. Not sure what the long stemmed grass was but it was abundant and it interfered with putting. The greens were also quite slow.

In addition, there was grass growing in the bunkers and that made it apparent that the maintenance of the course was severely lacking.

It was unfortunate because this course has a lot of potential to be a really nice golf course. Our group of three were disappointed.

Worst Experience

I have been coming to Hilton Head for over 25 years. This by far has been the worst golf experience I have ever had. Greens were not mown, had large patches of invasive grasses left at 1-inch height on greens and there was no way one could get.a reasonable read on speed and direction. Fairways were full of thatch, and left at 3-4 inch heights leaving any good shots down the fairway unrewarded in terms of lie. When we reached the turn at the clubhouse, we stopped for a snack and a drink, it was very hot. Not only was there no snack bar, there were no cold drink to be had anywhere around the clubhouse. We check in to pro shop to see if they had cold drinks, they had nothing. While there, I complained to the person working the proshop, couldn't have been a pro, no self respecting golf pro would allow their course to be that bad. He blamed it on transitioning to new management. That is a terrible excuse for poor maintenance. You might think. they would offer some degree of refund back on the greens fees, but he did not. I feel he should have warned us of the course conditions and let us be aware and determine if we would play or move on. vs. discovering all this as we experienced the course.

We also discovered that although water coolers were setup around the course, not a single one had water if anyone was getting sun issues.

COURSE IN “HORRIBLE” CONDITION

I have played this course occasionally over the past 15 years and I have never seen it in such terrible condition. Playing it no longer feels like golf…Much grass growing all over every green…First cut of grass is 5” high.

I have never seen a course in such bad condition that wasn’t closed…So sad!

Disappointed

The roughs are 8-12 deep of grass and the weeds around all bodies of water are about 4 feet tall. The back holes 15, 16, 17. And 18 barely get mowed.

The greens have this strange weed growing in them so putts zig zag towards the hole. Terrible

It was great about 6 months ago but has deteriorated since
