Rose Hill Golf Club
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.

Rose Hill 2nd T8me
Tried Rose Hill 2 years ago and it was horrible. I heard they’d changed course mgmt so we tried it again. Greens are much much better but need some more grass. Speed varied from normal 9-10 up to 13 - inconsistent but not too bad. Tees and fairways need grass. Big improvement over 2 years ago.
Much improved
Course was in good shape, greens good. Played it last year, entire course much better. Staff are excellent..
Great course and value
Have played this course the past two days. Excellent value for this area! Very friendly staff and a fun layout. Was sad when this course was closed in the past but the residents and members are running it now and it's going the right way. Will be back again!
Very friendly place to play
Fun course and wonderful value. Very nice layout with challenging greens.
Imperfect Greens
Great round on a great course. Practice tee had a lot of insects but they disappeared on the first hole and never came back. Staff were excellent right from the bag drop to the 19th hole, absolutely first class. Layout and conditions were excellent with the small exception of the greens, which had a few weeks and moss, but honestly never really seemed to impact the roll of a putt.
Great value, highly recommended.
Tees and greens need work.
The tee boxes were mostly dirt. And the greens had different types of grass growing in many areas. It looked like weeds trying to break through. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was good. But the course needs work.
2nd to me playing in the last 2 weeks- pace of play was so much better 2 nd time.
I signed on line and was told I would 260.00. Only to find when in went to pay they said I owed tax yet if I signed in on line it was 260.00- it wasnonlyn5.00 per person but it’s the point . The counter guy said he has to notify Golf Now..
Terrible Course
Course was in horrible shape. Fairways all dirt and weeds. Greens were spotty with weeds also. I’ll never be back. Pay more and get a real course. Layout was good, too bad they won’t spend some money on grass seed.
Fewer alligators this year
I usually see lots of large alligators on this course, but it seems that they are gone. the course itself, very well maintained great pace of play. we hit the nineteenth hole around sunset and it was overwhelmed with people, so it was hard to stay and hang out.They must have had an event going on or something!
Didn’t feel welcome here
The old, poorly-maintained, muddy, dusty course covered in pine pollen and little palmetto fibers that stuck to our socks and its old gas-powered carts without GPS might have been tolerable for its price, if it hadn't been for the unfriendly attitude of the “marshal" and another ranger we encountered out on the course. We'd first met a friendly worker at the bag drop, and another at the pro shop counter. But outside, the "marshal" let us know we weren't really welcome. He was offended that I drove our cart the 100 yards past the practice putting green to park alongside the practice range to hit a small bag of balls, even though there were no signs telling first-time visitors about such a rule. After we returned to the practice putting green he tried (unsuccessfully) to convince us to allow another foursome to go out ahead of us, despite the fact that their tee time was 15 minutes later than ours. When we objected, he sent them off on the back nine and rushed us off 10 minutes before our tee time. He waited for us at the par-4 5th hole to make sure we didn't violate the course’s unusual "cart path only" rule they'd set that day, and told us as he drove past that we should "pick up the pace a bit," ironic on a hole that the course had made slower by forcing players to walk across the fairway to their ball for two or three shots before reaching the green. Later, another ranger, similarly unskilled in player relations, told us he'd like us to play faster because "we like our foursomes to finish in four hours or less.” We ended up finishing in 4:14, well within normal pace at most of the courses we’ve played. One of our worst experiences ever on a first visit to a resort course.
