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.

Pretty course/Financially friendly

Several rough spots here and there and the areas “around the fairways” weren’t kept very well. But it’s a pretty course, greens are okay, cost is appropriate, and it’s of reasonable difficulty.

Alligator

Careful of crawling gators. Lol. We were not attacked but we did see one laying beside the pond about 20 yards from our ball. Enjoyed the course: greens could use some work. Very friendly staff. Worth playing. Alligator video and pic attached.

Needs Lots of Work

My wife and I vacation at Hilton Head every year in May and this course has been closed every other year for the past several. This year it’s open again and needs lots of work. Fairways are very spotty and the rough is overgrown weeds. Bunkers are packed hard and washed out. It is definitely not worth the money they charge to play. This is basic golf: there is something that looks like a tee box, something that looks like a fairway, and something that looks like a green on every hole.

Getting Better

Maintenance continues and the course is greening up. Tee boxes were 70% green with many very good, Fairways are 75% green but thin, and Greens were 60% still trying to shed the poa grass. Its definitely better than it was this winter/spring, and I did truly enjoy the round. The best is still the clubhouse, the food is very good and the staff are very friendly. Give it a try!

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Rose Hill Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Rose Hill Upgrades Needed

Rose Hill course has gone down hill since the new management company has taken over. Fairways are barren greens are bumpy. Starter is not too friendly. Pro is doing his best but improvements are needed.
