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.

Room for improvement

Fairways lack grass. The traps & tee boxes need some TLC. Pace of play is slow, but expected on a low level course. I would recommend for new or older players.

Great discovery

Have come to Hilton Head for years but haven't played Rose Hill before this year as it was shut. Sounds like the residents have taken control and are working hard to bring it back. Excellent value compared to the on-island courses. Will definitely be back!

Rose Hill 2nd T8me

Tried Rose Hill 2 years ago and it was horrible. I heard they’d changed course mgmt so we tried it again. Greens are much much better but need some more grass. Speed varied from normal 9-10 up to 13 - inconsistent but not too bad. Tees and fairways need grass. Big improvement over 2 years ago.

Great course and value

Have played this course the past two days. Excellent value for this area! Very friendly staff and a fun layout. Was sad when this course was closed in the past but the residents and members are running it now and it's going the right way. Will be back again!

Imperfect Greens

Great round on a great course. Practice tee had a lot of insects but they disappeared on the first hole and never came back. Staff were excellent right from the bag drop to the 19th hole, absolutely first class. Layout and conditions were excellent with the small exception of the greens, which had a few weeks and moss, but honestly never really seemed to impact the roll of a putt.
Great value, highly recommended.

Tees and greens need work.

The tee boxes were mostly dirt. And the greens had different types of grass growing in many areas. It looked like weeds trying to break through. The staff was friendly, and the pace of play was good. But the course needs work.

Terrible Course

Course was in horrible shape. Fairways all dirt and weeds. Greens were spotty with weeds also. I’ll never be back. Pay more and get a real course. Layout was good, too bad they won’t spend some money on grass seed.
