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.

Great experience at River Falls Plantation
Great experience at River Falls beautiful scenic track. Challenging, Very good condition. Pace of play was really good at first . It appeared a foursome may have jumped a few groups and that slowed things down. Nothing worse than people playing from tee boxes that are above there skill level. No shame in playing where you belong. Still finished 18 in 3 hrs 55 minutes but could have been 3.5 hours.
Very reasonably priced as well. Hope to go back some day.

Nice coarse on a nice day
Joined up with another Gentleman who booked through golfnow. We had a good time. Course was in very nice shape. A few slower players in front of us, but they let us by, which was nice. This course is a nice challenge, there are some shots to narrow areas to make you think. Well worth a visit.

Nice Community Loop
We picked this as a stop on our way to Myrtle Beach. Nice layout. This had a lot of raid so cart path only. I would play here again.
Look forward to seeing you again!

Pace of play
Pace of play was 5 hours 10 mins. Waited on every hole. Never once saw a Marshall
Will not play again
Love the course. Allow plenty of time
I have enjoyed playing this course over the past several years. Today was not enjoyable. My partner & I left after playing the front nine in 3 hours—tee boxes were stacked up & never once did I see a ranger on the course. As much as I like everything else about the course, layout, conditions, staff, etc—this was unacceptable COVID 19 conditions notwithstanding. I will be back soon to play a full 18. Hopefully pace of play will have improved/be better monitored or I will find a different course for the future.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Great Course
The course was in great shape for being late in the year. I was playing it for the first time while on vacation. Very pleased with this course for the value! The course was challenging, but not too difficult for the average golfer. Something for everyone! Highly recommend playing if you get a chance.
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.

In great shape one of my favorite courses in the upstate.

Hi Russell2343134. 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.
Great shape
Course is in great shape. Greens roll true and fast other then the fact that nobody seems to repair their ball marks. That was the only issue I found and I am sure the grounds crew can take some time to fix this. Fairways, Tee boxes and greens other then the balls marks are all in great shape. Will be playing again.

Great value
Great value as always. Greens were a little bumpy today. They have not fully grown in from the last aeration.

Friendly and Great shape.
Staff was very friendly and the course was in great shape. This seems to be the best value course in the area. Would've liked a beverage cart for refills but Covid19 may have impacted that.
