Golfer Reviews
Great Friday Morning Round
The course was in great shape especially considering the price. I love this course but I feel at times the course does not feel the same way about me! Requires some clever shots for sure in order to score well.

Nice course
Course was in good shape. Greens were excellent. Fairways were nice.
Hello, hillstockm. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at River Falls Plantation. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Tight and short
Very good condition. My biggest issue with the layout is that it is too short and narrow to hit driver very much if you can drive the ball 240 or more.
Hello, u314161080826. Thank you for visiting us at River Falls Plantation. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
The Course was in very good shape, especially the greens.
They could have let the fairway grass grow out a little more, but the course played fair and we very much enjoyed our round.

Let the fairways grow
First time here, and a really interesting layout....quite unique. Not as much sand as other Gary Player courses I have played, but course certainly has great character. Tee to green course was in great shape......EXCEPT.....fairways were cut way too thin....to the point where they were stressed out in some areas. Unfortunate, because you can tell they are nice & full, but just cut way too short. Almost impossible to get a Lob or Gap wedge under the ball for approach shots.....which kind of dictate scoring well. Greens roll true & fast enough. Will definitely return again......with hopes that the fairways are a little more lush. Its a shame, because you can see they are nice grass & full. Also, the gas golf carts are old & finicky....have to push on the brake to get it to start....maybe I just had a bad one!!!
Hello frankmitchell, thank you for taking the time to review us. We're sorry to hear the course may not have been in the best shape on the day of your round, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the fairways so may work on any necessary improvements. Thank you for choosing to golf with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
94 degrees with a heat index well above 100 and no water on the golf course. Every water cooler was removed due to covid. Yet, personal coolers are not permitted and golf carts do not have coolers on them. Only course in upstate SC that I've played that does not have on course water coolers, this 16 months after covid. Will not be playing here again until this is changed.
Nice course. Elevation change, including several signature holes. Would play again.

Carts
The carts were terrible! The brake pedal was difficult to lock, needed to press the gas pedal several times before it would start and when it did, it would jerk you.
The cart paths are in bad condition. Very rough.

Not all it’s cracked up to be, not worth the price of admission
For 50 dollars for 18 holes you would expect a lot better. Decent layout but the course conditions were questionable. Played at way better courses in the area for way less than the price here.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, ryanrowe93. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting River Falls Plantation, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Fair Challenge
Friendly and helpful staff. Fairly narrow fairways requiring accuracy off the tee. Not overly long, but some blind shots and several doglegs to keep you focused. Greens were a little rough and slow. Played with some guys that play there regularly, they said condition of greens was unusual. Overall a course I will enjoy returning to.
Hello, Vanhooz. Thank you for visiting us at River Falls Plantation. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Course is in great shape
This is probably the bast shape I've seen this course In the last couple of years. Greens should be perfect in a couple of weeks since they've punched them
Hi, u000006442905. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at River Falls Plantation!
Great Layout
This Gary Player design had a great layout. Greens weren’t in the best shape due to the heat but that is to be expected in the south.
