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.

Better than expected

This course was a 27 hole mess so I didn't played it for about 20 years. Recently, two nines were replaced by a new nine and the remaining nine (front) was re-done. The new nine compares favorably with other HHI courses; the old nine still needs some work. It's worth playing when the price is right.

Nice layout

Checked in at clubhouse, got our cart and went to the practice green. Was told to check with the starter but was nowhere to be found. Went off about 1/2 hour before our tee time and eventually caught up to a group of 4 but the threesome in front of them were a little slow. Overall it took about 4 1/2 hours to play. Course conditions were generally pretty good but a few of the tee boxes could use some TLC. Would definitely play here again because of the layout and friendly people that we did meet.

Rose Hill Continues to Improve

The course was in good condition, especially the greens. The ruff was very punitive particularly due to the excessive amount of dead leaves. The leaves were also problematic in several fairways. That is an area for improvement.

Massive Improvements

Played in the afternoon 11-21-24. Tees and fairways are good. Greens are great. Grounds crew was out working on problem areas but were very accommodating to players coming through. Played here 2 years ago and the place was a wreck. The improvements are outstanding. Mark, Marilyn, and Ron are fantastic. $60 weekdays is a good deal. Highly recommend. Great job coming back to life Rose Hill.

Silveria Review

I had not played this course for 30 years as back then it was not so good. I know there is new ownership and my wife and I wanted to play it. We were very happy with the course conditions and lay out of holes that were interesting and challenging. I think the value is great and the staff was very friendly. I am actually a member of SPCC but enjoy playing courses around the area and I will be back to Rose Hill. Also, the greens were very true and fast the way I like them. Give it a try and I don't feel you will be disappointed. Have fun!

Slow

Paid for 18 holes, but quit after 9 because it took us three hours! Ridiculously slow play.

Affordable - Challenging - Friendly

Rose Hill is a nice neighborhood course with just enough challenge to keep it interesting. The layout and flow from hole to hole is walkable too. . You do hear the traffic on a few holes, but that’s part of the challenge. Gas powered cart did make for a hot seat. Cannot playing what that would be like in the heat of August.

Need to fix/improve: bumpy cart path-hang on to your boobs ladies (the day we played it was COO). Tee box grass is very sparse. Greens and approaches were just ok. Removing a few trees may help with growing grass in overly shady areas.

The updated clubhouse is welcoming and beautiful. Beware of overpriced drink costs if you are not a member. 9$ for a beer??? Good service though.
