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.

Great course!
Challenging for both skill levels. On a whim booked this as we were returning home to Ga. Staff was excellent. Course was in good shape especially since Hurricane Debby had just gone through. Will play this one again!
Nope
This course is terrible. Worst course I’ve played in the Hilton Head area. Driving range is absolutely pitiful. (And they make you pay extra for balls)
The super friendly people and the carts were the best parts!
Back from vacation
I played in our MGA this past Saturday after being away for 3 weeks. This course layout with water on many holes, and tree lined faiways and water on many holes is a pleasure to play. I was encouraged to see that the greens are in great shape and the course continues to improve under IGM's care. If you have not been here to play this course come on over whether you are local or just visiting the Low Country. You will find the Pro staff and the Fair Winds Bar and Grill staff very friendly and egar to serve you.
TERRIBLE SERVICE
I played 9 holes with a 4:50 PM tee time. At 6:20 PM my wife and I drove up to the 9th tee box. At that time two carts were driving towards us from the clubhouse. One of them was Joe Rampala (not sure of spelling), the cart attendant.
As I was walking up onto the tee box he stops and asks us "is there a problem?" We looked at each other puzzled and said "No."
He said, "well you were just here 10 minutes ago, why are you playing this hole again?" We both said, "No, we weren't here 10 minutes ago." He insisted that we were, insinuating that we were lying, and that we were the last people on the course that he was waiting on.
It became heated. Sadly, this is the second negative interaction with this gentlemen. The first time was because he wanted me, my daughter, and another gentleman off the range at 5:20 PM after we had just purchased our range balls at 5 PM because he wanted to sweep the range and go home.
We have purchased memberships the last two years but will no longer support this golf course. It's not a surprise that they are losing money every month. Rushing your customers (and members) off the course so the attendant can go home early is not the way to grow revenue. We asked for meeting with the management....that was 8 days ago....still waiting.
Nice track
Rose Hill is recovering nicely. Course is great. Golfer Must be able to shape all their shots. This course is not a bang driver and go find the ball somewhere in the fairway. Rough is to be avoided or a possible lost shot. Next time in Hilton Head area, give Rose Hill a try. Bar and restaurant also worth a stop.
Great Day at Rose Hill
Made a tee time at 7:15 in the morning for 8am, showed up at 7:50 and was out by 8am. Course was not crowded. We played course in well under 4 hours with cart path only rule due to heavy rain night before (probably would have done it in 3 hours if we could have taken cart on fairways). The course was in nice shape - a few tees were a little bare and one or two greens were not pristine. The friendly ranger came by twice while we playing and offered us ice cold waters, reminding us to stay hydrated. This course is so much better than a few years ago. It is one of our favorite courses in the area.
Much, Much Improved Course
Little things matter. Great course layout, greens in excellent shape on 16 greens, overall good fairways, great starter/marshall, excellent cart people, clean organized pro shop. Only negative is water in sand traps, and missing water cooler on two holes. Lots of positive changes over the past few years.
Nice round good pace of play
The course was in good condition. Fairways were in excellent shape. Some minor problems with a couple of greens, but still rolled true. Good value for the money.
Simple, But Fun Course
Went with my dad and brother was my dad‘s first time golfing. Course was laid out well and not super challenging but still fun. Staff was very friendly and we were the first group out and played very quickly one or two of the greens were in pretty rough shape however, the overall course conditions were good. Would definitely go again
Good value
First time playing overall good course for the money will play again.

Enjoyable course
After reading mixed reviews on GolfNow and also on other sites, I ultimately decided to book a tee time. Spoke with the guy at the bag drop area, quite friendly and seemed very honest telling me a little history about the course and its current condition. Played as a single and only saw a few other people playing. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised of the course condition and definitely not as bad as some reviews had stated. Tee boxes were good shape and finding a level area to stand was easy. Fairways were in pretty good shape, traps had decent sand, and the majority of the greens were consistent in roll and condition, even though they seemed to have been aerated recently. All in all, I would definitely play RoseHill again upon returning to HHI area.

Thanks so much for your wonderful review, Donaldwsturgis. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Rose Hill Golf Club!
CUSTOMER SERVICE should be right there with the condition of the course.
Perhaps this would have not escalated to this point if the issue was resolved by the course management both quickly and face to face. Before it gets to this or any social platform.
Since this is the second incident with this employee that is "Passionate" about his job, with that Passion comes responsibility to the CUSTOMER / MEMBER.
There is WAY too much competition in this area to be losing Customers (or MEMBERS for God's sake !!) to have this happen and not be taken care of by the Management IMMEDIATELY.
