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.

TH

Many of the holes are very long for an older senior golfer that does not hit the ball very far. The course itself is in very good condition, but the play was exceedingly slow in front of me.

Fantastic course

If you are looking for a challenging course to play, this is it. Fantastic layout and make sure to visit Fair Winds, the clubhouse restaurant, for an amazing meal and one of their select beers and cocktails! You won't be disappointed!

Storm damage had a role in course conditions

I liked the layout. The fairways were not cut nor the rough. Seems workers were cleaning up debris from the storm. Greens were average with too many weeds apparent. I would give it another try next year.

Good course, good value

Course was in good condition fairways and greens were long. I understand that the grass has stopped growing and it has to kept long. Couldn’t get much spin on the ball. Enjoyed the round.
