River Falls Plantation

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Fun course but very testing. Greens roll really well, especially considering it’s the end of the season. The staff is top notch.

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.

Great course for the money. Would recommend it. Good layout as well.

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.

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.

The pace of play was soooo slow. I’m not a fast player but this was terrible. The back tees were rightfully placed in the farthest back position but the foliage overgrowth in front of the back boxes was so tall it could actually contact the ball on take off. The rest of the course was very nice and the staff were very courteous. Course needs some rangers and the course superintendent to round on the course for weekend play. Great layout and really fair price.

The course was in OK condition but several Greens were patched with sod

Played my first round at River Falls this weekend after reading several reviews on the course that made me want to play there. The layout it awesome. Almost a mountain course feel. A lot of elevation changes. Long drives between holes and each hole is isolated from each other. The course is pretty tight both around the fairways and greens. A lot of time you miss the fairway or green and your ball is completely gone. The course is one of the more challenging ones that I’ve played in a while. The course conditions were just average in my opinion. Greens were firm and smooth and fast except for 2 that were being reworded. Fairways were mown but the clippings have not been blown off of them. They also hadn’t striped the fairways. Rough was very thick Bermuda grass. Easy to lose your ball in. Again the clippings hadn’t been blown off. The tees were chewed up some. Especially on the holes where you would hit iron off the tees (this includes some par 4s on this varied layout). To me it looked like it had rained a lot 2 weeks ago and play and mowing had been allowed when it was too wet. Then this past week it was hot and dry and everything baked. Not at all a bad course. I’d play again. Especially for the $35 price I paid on a Saturday. But it’s not the top end course that I thought it was-at least not right now.
