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.

Quick round before bad weather set in
8:00am first off as a single. Played two balls and got as far as the 8th before it started to snow. Waited 30mins hoping it would stop and melt but the rain set in so I called it a day. The greens were rolling good.
Great Challenging Course
Surprised to find this hidden gem. I will def be back
Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Nice twilight round
I played at twilight with a friend. We did the first 9 holes (needed to leave one hour before dawn). The course was great, in a really good condition and challenging (for us at least). I liked the tips on the sings on some holes. I give a 5 start review and eager to come back soon.
Thanks for the wonderful review! We are also eager to have you back here soon!

Great!
The best I’ve played in the upstate so far since moving up from Florida.
Wow, what a great compliment! Thanks so much for the awesome review!
Very challenging
The Bermuda was dormant but the greens were fast and true, lots of great scenery. And undulation. It is a very challenging course, controlled ball flight, direction and distance is necessary
u702760800, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing River Falls Plantation.

No coolers
I bring a cooler with water in it when I play golf but this course will not let you take coolers and they don't have any water on the course. To me this seems like they are trying to gall'd you into buying their beverages when all I want is to be able take water on the course with me.

Really good
Played at River Falls for the first time in about a year. I really enjoyed my round. I paid $42 for a Saturday afternoon round. The course was not crowded at all so I zipped around at a good pace. The course layout is awesome, and honestly one of the hardest Ive played. There are alot of really narrow holes, and approaches with absolutely no place to miss or it just drops off into oblivion. Alot of good elevation changes and a nice mix of long, short, and dogleg holes. If I were being picky, I could only complain about the greens. They were in good shape, but were painfully slow in my opinion. There is a really nice bar/grill that was much busier than the course itself. If you are in the area, its certainly worth a play, but if its your first time dont expect to shoot a great score with the number of blind shots, elevation changes, drop offs etc....
Hi realasudxgift. 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.
Very nice
The course was well maintained, scenic and well paced. This purse for me was challenging but fair. The greens were true and well kept. Can’t wait to play again.

A Good day for 14 holes
Course is in good shape with a few low spots wet from rain to days prior. Required moving the ball once or twice. Greens are excellent, after you get the feel for the zoysia. A good lay out in the rolling hills, with a couple unique shots on both front and back side. Comfort level increases after several rounds on these holes. Pace of play was very good until I joined a single on number 13 and pace came to a halt. My new partner said he did not see this foursome of seniors during the entire front nine. Suspected they went in at the turn and lost their spot? I had to go around them and play a couple holes coming in due to a time constraint. Pro shop pro greeted and was flexible for my tee time.

Good COurse
This is a great course for the value, especially on the weekdays after 12pm when it is $30. Not sure I would pay the $45 they are asking for the weekends however, it is a solid design but you can tell the course is past its prime, all in all a good course for the money but don't get too excited.

Great value
I have played here several times. The Fall is best for the value, course conditions and pace of play. The course was in excellent condition even though we were in drought conditions. The course is tough but fair.
