Rose Hill Golf Club

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.

Wet conditions required cart path only.

After three holes delayed for next three do to 7 players scattered all over each hole. A first time experience.

With no interest in letting my twosome play through skipped a hole and played remaining 11 .

It’s a crazy world out there but never imaged witnessing such brazen disregard for the rules of golf.

One and done😡

Played here 3 years and have avoided until yesterday. No significant change. Tee areas terrible, Fairways and rough, poor, greens crazy slow. It is mid-Febrary, but several courses played earlier are in much better condition.

Rose Hill is a very nice local course for the Bluffton area. Like most Bluffton courses, drainage is a challenge so we were CPO on the front 9 and 90 degrees on the back 9. The greens were not very fast but were otherwise in very good condition, especially for winter. The sand traps were in pretty rough shape, again owing to the recent rain and poor drainage. I also noticed several traps with a lot of small stones in them. They could use some fresh sand.

Overall, I thought it was a good course for the price. The staff were very friendly and eager to help.

We played the course several years ago andeere pleasantly surprised by improvements to the course condition since we last played.

It rained briefly during our game, greens and sand traps became very wet with water pooling on the greens.

Like the course but cart paths need lots of repair.. Good greens..

I felt like I got a great rate, the day I played. Golf Pass helped a lot.

Course was in fair conditions. Some of the tee boxes were rough. Greens were a little tall and putted slow. Once I got used to it, it was fine. The staff was very friendly.

I last played this course a few years ago when I was in the area. It was in terrible condition then. I had heard it was under new management and they had made changes. So I decided to try it again. They have made some nice improvements. The fairways are in much better shape. The greens are so much nicer than they were before. The only bad area were the tee boxes. Those need some TLC but other than that,.I found the course very playable this time.

Ok for the money 💰 Need leaf cleanup and greens faster,

This is the second time I played here where the restaurant was not open or closed early. The greens were brown or dormant.
