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.

Fair warning. Photo submitted by ESANDER on 03/02/2021
Greens and bunkers good shape. I had to move ball in fairways as a little thin in places. I payed in 2:45
Nice
Plesently surprised as course was much nicer than expected. Very friendly staff. Good value for the money. Course is in good shape. A couple of the tee boxes were a little sparse. Will definitely be back.

Reasonable price versus on Island courses

Hello, u314160888150. Thank you for visiting us at Rose Hill Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Course has improved over the past year. Greens are slow but in great condition. Grass is still thin in places. Based on price I would play again.

Hidden gem
Rose Hill GC has come a long way. Greens are shaping up nicely. They are a bit easy -- as they rebuild some, hopefully they will put some undulation in them. Fairways are so-so -- some good, some need some work. Overwatering and poor drainage is impacting many on the front 9. Tee boxes -- hopefully these get the next round of attention. But the focus on the greens has produced awesome results. Highly friendly staff. Food -- independent restaurant -- not in line with what golfers need. Keep that in mind. Beer and food are $$$.
Only complaint on the layout... hole #11 is too long into the wind out of the west!
I appreciate that the par 3s are varying distances. They are pretty hard par 3s compared to the rest of the course.

Enjoyed layout
Needs a little work. Most of the greens were very nice. Wet but not managements fault. I will return.

Donna Loved the Course
I loved everything about it. Very friendly staff and the course was challenging and in great shape. Next time I’m in that area I would definitely play there again.

Getting better, but …
I've played Rose Hill twice before in the past 5 years and the conditions were awful. I believe they have new ownership and/or management now.
Course conditions are MUCH better than they were, and I would dare to say very good. Still some weeds on the fairway, but playable. Greens were very good. Bunkers acceptable. Tee boxes mostly good but need cutting shorter. Rough was challenging as you could walk right past your ball and not see it.
They were short on carts and i had to wait 10 minutes past my tee time before i had one.
My biggest issue is the food and drink situation. No beverage cart at all. The restaurant at the course is separately owned and operated and for whatever reason don’t offer quick bites for players. I showed up early to grab a bite and waited almost 30 minutes for a $20 hotdog.
Want a quick bite to go after 9 holes? Too bad.
Overall, worth the price for golf but eat first and bring water.
Nice thing is... you can bring your own food and drink. And just bring a water bottle -- they have a water station at the driving range, and water containers at a few tee boxes. Agree a food/bev cart would be nice. It's unfortunate the restaurant isn't interested in "grab and go" or catering to golfers. But don't fault the course for this. Maybe the course could at least have some snacks at the pro shop?

Good value, good course
Course in good shape and was the best value in the Hilton Head area. The only problem was all the fees that Golf Now charged. It was better not to go through Golf Now. I thought Golf Now was supposed to be finding golfers good deals.

Great Course
Played Rose Hill Golf Course as a guest on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. The course was great. Greens were outstanding. The lay out was great and the course was very fair. I strongly recommend playing this course. Next time I am in Hilton Head, I will play this course.

Good for the beginner
The staff at the golf course were exceptionally friendly and actively monitored the entire course in real-time. While some might find this level of supervision slightly bothersome, I personally appreciated their dedication to maintaining the course's condition.
As a beginner, I found the course's level of difficulty to be quite manageable, which was perfect for me. However, I must note that more experienced players may not find it challenging enough.
Overall, I had a positive experience at the golf course. Thank you!
