River Falls Plantation
Rating Snapshot
About
River Falls Golf Plantation in Duncan is a Gary Player Signature Course. Its location makes it convenient for meeting up with people coming from Asheville, Columbia, Atlanta, or Charlotte. The golf course is also just minutes away from downtown Greenville. The narrow layout will test the accuracy and shot making abilities of even the best golfers. Rolling hills provide a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Water hazards come into play frequently and there are also strategically placed bunkers framing the greens and fairways. Player crafted a golf course that is both formidable and scenic. The abundance of mature trees helped him achieve this. He carefully wove River Falls Golf Plantation through the mature forests, allowing the trees to surround the holes, giving each a secluded and peaceful feel.

River Falls
So they have really stepped up there game on their greens. This course is the best shape I’ve seen in years. Can’t beat it. Friday was very. Busy but pace of play was fine. Very little waiting on the T Box. And we where able to finish a full round in about 4 hours. I typically play at another course but I will definitely be. Back

Greens have been punched
Wasn't told the greens where punched, other than that, the pace of play was slow, the fairways are in great shape.

One of my favorites in the area.
I love the layout of this golf course. It is challenging enough to force you to think for all 18 holes without being a particularly long course. Even if you aren’t a very long player (relative to your tee box selection ) you will be rewarded for visualizing and executing the correct shot, and probably punished for doing the opposite. It’s a great course to challenge your golf buddies to a round of golf because everyone will have to pick their shots. The “spray and pray” or “bomb and gorge” long ball hitter of the group will only have the advantage on a few holes. A well placed shot will almost always lead to a more favorable approach shot on this course.
Greens are pretty smooth and consistent. Medium to medium quick for a non-private course. Practice green accurately represents the putting surface you will see on the course.
One of my favorites in the area. Love River Falls.
I play public courses in the Greenville/ Simpsonville area 1-2 times/week, tees in the 6500 yard range, 9-10 handicap index.
Enjoyable Course
River Falls was in excellent condition. The greens were smooth and quick. Our group had a great time.

Beautiful Course to Challenge Your Skills
The course was in amazing shape with deep dark green grass and excellent greens. Blazing hot and still very little course damage from the sun. My only complaint is that I'm not quite skilled enough to shoot well there yet! But I'll get there and this will be (and already is) one of my favorite courses in the area.
Hi, guitarcam87. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing River Falls Plantation.

Play this golf course years ago When I was younger
Older now loved the layout will play this course again this fall when I come back down thanks
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Rnap! We look forward to seeing you again soon at River Falls Plantation.
Great course
Great course and very nice staff. Pace of play was a bit of a problem. Got there at 2p to tee off and 12 people were on number 1? Asked to start on 10 but got behind 2 foursomes that wouldn’t let our twosome play through. Ended up skipping 2 holes to get by then and prevent a 5 hour round.
Hi, dloyd2020. Thank you so much for the review. We are sorry to hear about the pace of play issue during your round. We will share your comments with our staff and use your feedback to improve. Thanks for choosing River Falls Plantation. We hope to see you again!
Used a Rental Set
Was in town on business with two other people. We rented clubs and that was a disaster. Super old mixed bag and my friend who was a lefty they didn’t have a putter for… he did good right handed. Other than that, the staff was great, the course was really fun (lots of elevated tee shots) and in good condition. Would be tough to walk and no way a cart girl could get around there.
Recommend for those who have their sticks with them.
