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.

Golfer Reviews
Bad day at the Hill
Course was poorly maintained. Greens on front 9 needed cut and we’re full of weeds. Grass outside the fairways was very overgrown and in need of cutting. Overall for the money it was not worth it and was easily the worst course I have played in Hilton Head.
Poor condition
I have played here 1/2 Dozen times. The condition was not as it usually is. I was a bit shocked but understand they have short staff for grounds.

Hi, kevindoss12. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. You are welcome to comment further or reach out to our team in the golf shop. We always appreciate the feedback.
Played the course several years ago for $35 including cart. Thought $77 was over the top for a course I would rate as a Municipal 18 hole common golf course. Suitable for play if the price was more reasonable. If I have to pay this then there are a lot of courses on the Island that are better for the same amount.

GREAT PEOPLE - POOR COURSE
First time playing this course. The course itself is not very challenging.
The clubhouse / bar/ restaurant / restrooms etc have all had a new facelift and looked great.
Everyone i met was exceptionally nice , courteous and professional.
The carts are very new and nice.
The course is horrible. Chunky greens with weedy grass growing on them etc. Added - much of the grass in the rough and around the edges was OVER 4” TALL.
There are not enough bad things to say about the condition of this course and equally imperative to point out the difference between the people and the course.

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.
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!
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.

Rough shape
Very friendly staff and few people on course. Greens have lots of weeds and rough has not been cut in a while. Would not recommend due to rough shape

First experience
Clubhouse and staff were friendly and helpful.

I would recommend this course if they greens are improved.

Simpson’s at rose hill
Loved the course and whole day. Played here a few years back and the course in much better condition.

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!
Hello, Thank you for visiting us at Rose Hill Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Needs work!
Fairways and greens were in poor shape. Good course layout, but until the conditions improve, I wouldn't go back.
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.
