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.

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.

$70 for this?!

Unacceptable. There are so many other courses in Bluffton and on Hilton Head Island with much better quality at similar or cheaper prices. Go to Old South nearby, they care about the course and charge you less than this place. Greens were in terrible condition, fairways not much better, pace of play was slow and not maintained by rangers, and we were in a broken cart for half the round. I know this course has had some management trouble and has open and closed, but that is not an excuse for how poorly maintained this course is.

Needs some TLC

Course is a decent layout, some nice holes, but needs some work. I know it’s not a good time of year, the green fees are not high, but the greens haven’t been cut, very few holes have a 150 yd markers. Anyway it was a round of golf and the pace of play was great.

1st time and last time

Like playing on concrete. Fairways and greens were hard as a rock. Greens were bumpy and fast like hitting on a blacktop highway.

Some may say it’s due to the time of year, however I’ve played 4 other local courses during my holiday, that were in great condition, so the excuse is mute.

If you value your clubs, avoid this course.

Tough Conditions During Winter

Played here a lot in 2019-2020. Now, in January, conditions are fair at best. No fairway grass, lots of mud, tees and traps rough. Greens not too bad. Looks like there was no pre-emergent application in the Fall. Weeds popping up everywhere. Course has lots of potential but is way overpriced.

First time playing Rose Hill

Friendly staff let me out 45 minutes early since the tee was open. Played the white tees which were6400 yards. Nice routing of holes. Par three’s are long..Back 9 is quite challenging. Fairways are a little thin in grass creating some tight lies. Greens also thin in grass so greens were fast. Nice course and I will return to play it again.

Okay but there are better

I've wanted to play here for awhile. Staff very sociable & friendly. Grass dormant.this time of year makes for "tight" lies. Grass around greens holds the ball from getting to the green if you hit short. Greens very quick. & in decent shape. Course layout not any different than anywhere else. It was an enjoyable day but I probably wouldn't ever go back.
