Back to River Falls Plantation
River Falls is a wonderful course IF you stay in the fairways. The primary rough is playable, but anything past that is LOST FOREVER. The clubhouse is great, the staff is friendly and courteous. I play here every couple of years just to prove to myself that this course adds 5 to 6 strokes to my score. I drive about 50 miles to play the course.
River Falls was in great shape. An enjoyable course to play, back nine has a couple of different holes with blind shots.
Restaurant at the club has very good eats and a varied menu.
Great challenge
Challenging course in great condition, can't wait to come back
great course
Course is in excellent shape. Layout is excellent. Each hole is unique. Some holes require shot placement. It is a must play in the Duncan area.
Great course
I have played RF many times. I highly recommend this course. One of my favorites. 2 or 3 greens in rough shape but all in all a great course.
Great Course
This course was in great shape. From tee to green. The rough is tough. Holes are challenging. Course is fair for all skill levels.i will definitely be back.
Great Course
Great course. Unfortunately it rained. Didn't get to play back 9. Will go back.
In great shape right now
One of my favorite courses in the area. Great staff, challenging layout. Always impressed at how well maintained the course is. Greens were beautiful this weekend. Very true and slightly fast despite recent rains. Only two or three heavily shaded greens have bare spots, but not in play with the pin placement.
Great Course
This is an excellent course. I've played it many times and will continue to play there. It's not for the beginner. I have taken friends in the past who have stated they would not play it again due to it being too difficult. If you are a low to mid handicap golfer, you will love this course. Place your shots for your approach yardage and you should be fine.
Challenging
This is a very challenging course. Course was in great condition. Paid only $18 for a premiere course. Several blind shots make for tough holes when you are unfamiliar with the course.
Interesting course
For the most part I really like the layout and condition of the course. There are several holes that just don't make sense. I'm sure terrain had something to do with it, but I still wish the designer had come up with a better solution. There are also several greens that are chronically terrible. This course offers some beautiful sight lines, and some really challenging holes
IF SLOW PLAY IS YOUR THING THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!
If you like 5 1/2 hour rounds you are all set. Booked back 9 and front 9 all day! If this continues it will eventually cost them players. Course is in early spring conditions another month and it will be good to go. Must get tee times in order!
Very Hilly but Nice Track except #16
The day we played was cart path only, which makes you climb a lot of hills. Most of the tee boxes were in terrible shape. A couple of greens had disease, but overall were in good shape. There are some really fun holes. #13 is gorgeous. But #16 is just a goofy hole with a steep downhill blind second shot.
Overall it was well worth the "hot deal" price.
Great Day - Beautiful Greens
Our twosome enjoyed a smooth, unhurried four hour round. The fairway grass is still dormant but fairways had been groomed and were very playable. When the grass breaks dormancy the course condition will be five star. The greens were Outstanding - rolled beautifully. Friendly staff in the pro shop as was the starter, who got us off early. Best visit to River Falls ever.
Great afternoon of golf
Had some issues getting to course on time, pro was very accommodating to get us in well past our scheduled time. Two first time friends enjoyed the course immensely. Course is very challenging yet playable. Suggest not playing it for the first time without obtaining local knowledge.
