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.

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.

Nice Round
The course was in great shape but extremely wet from recent rains. Most greens were in great shape too but a couple were starting to show signs of loss. 4, 8 and 16 are very challenging holes. Fair amount of water on the course. Will definitely play again.
A Fun Track and Beautiful Layout
Very established and unique holes. Loved the rolling hills, water and the immaculate greens. An amazing value and experience!
Thank you for the very kind words and five-star rating!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful five-star review, Rick! We're so pleased that you enjoyed our layout and conditions. We hope to see you again soon.
Good value, excellent layout
Very friendly staff and starter. Greens were excellent as was the layout. Should be superb when fairways green up. My first time playing and would play again. Great value through Golf Now.
We're thrilled that you had a great first time with us and we hope it's the first of many!
Quick Round
Had to wait an hour and half for a frost delay, and the staff did a great job keeping me informed and entertained. Super fast round as I was the first out and a single, so once again awesome! Travis is the pro shop is a nice dude. Can’t beat it for the prices when you’re able to get a Hot Deal!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a terrific five-star review! We're so pleased that you enjoyed your round despite the frost delay. Please come and see us again soon.
Customer service
Called Tuesday to make tee times and was told $45 for 18 holes for Saturday 3/2. When I arrived we were rang up for $55 instead of $45. When I questioned the guy he said the rates went up on 3/1. I then explained to him that we were told a cheaper rate. All he could say is sorry that someone told me the wrong price. The funny thing is this isn’t the first time this has happened. Great course shady staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us very helpful feedback. We are very sorry about the miscommunication, as it is NEVER our intention to mislead our golfers. We absolutely understand your frustration and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.
Greens are not well kept, with lots of ball marks. Traps are a mess.
I have never seen this course in such bad shape.. Trying to recover some greens. Lots of mud. Very tough course to play when it is cart path only. Lots of steep climbs to get from cart path to fairway.
Thank you for your feedback! The course is currently in great shape despite recent rain. We hope you'll return again in the future.
War zone
The weather has been wet I get it but the Greens look like a war zone. Ball Marks everywhere. 35.00 for wet conditions and ball marks not a match.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. Conditions are currently very good despite some previous rain and we hope you'll consider playing here again.
Good Day after Christmas
Check-in was expedient. Range was good and balls were good. Starter got our threesome out a couple minutes early, even though tee times were solid. Pace was good for the day after Christmas, as was the condition. Only a couple waits on the fronts 9. Some low places were wet, some bunkers still had water but able to adjust. Greens were rolling good. Cart paths could use some work- some of the worst around, must protect your back going over bumps/breaks You must know the grain on these zoysia greens and your line on some elevation/blind shots on the back 9. If you take that into play you can have a good round. I like play here in winter b/c greens stay healthy and do not go dormant.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a very nice four-star review! We're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your round despite some prior rain. Please come and see us again soon.
Mixed Feelings
I have mixed feelings. The course has beautiful greens. Fairways are generous. Tee boxes need some work though. The golf cart was making this terrible noise that wouldnt stop. It started raining hard and Travis wouldn’t give us a rain check for the back 9.
We're sorry to hear that your round with us was disappointing. We hope you'll return under drier conditions for a far better experience.
Froze our Butts Off
We froze our Butts off but the Course was in Great Shape for all the Weather weve been having Groups in front of us didnt help matters they thought they were playing on the Senior Senior Tour Overall though you cant beat this Course its got alot of Elevation changes and it was quite pretty still having alot of the Fall Colors
We're so pleased that you had a nice time despite the cold weather. Please come and see us again soon.
Great Course Layout
Fun course but very testing. Greens roll really well, especially considering it’s the end of the season. The staff is top notch.
We're so appreciative of the very kind words and five stars! We look forward to your next visit with us!
Even better than last time
This was my second time playing the course. I loved the layout. It is pretty interesting and challenging and no two holes are the same. However, there were some minor issues such as clippings on the fairways, really long rough, a couple greens under repair. I went back today, and the course was in much better shape, The fairways were in great shape even with 2 inches of rain the day before. The rough was cut, but still thick and challenging. The greens were very firm and smooth and the couple that were under repair were in better shape. The layout is great. One of the best in the area in my opinion. So hurry out and play while everything is still in good shape before everything goes dormant in the winter.
Thank you for leaving us a great four-star review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our conditions and had a fun and challenging round with us. Please come and see us again soon.
Worth Playing for sure
Great course for the money. Would recommend it. Good layout as well.
Thank you for the recommendation and four stars! Please come and see us again soon.
Beautiful condition
Great round of golf with the exception of the pin placement on hole #1. No way to approach the hole without rolling off the green if you did not hole the put. Very discouraging way to start a round for most recreational golfers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us five stars! We're sorry to hear that the pin placement on hole #1 was frustrating but we hope you'll return soon!
Fun Course
The course was in great shape the day after 3-4 inches of rain. Friendly staff and would recommend to anyone who likes a challenge. Thanks GolfNow.
