About

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.

Disappointed
Course had just been berated and two temporary greens.
overall nice course
I have played 2 other times here and it has been great each time. however, this time, they were resending 2 of the greens and had temporary green locations. I understand this needs to be done to maintain the course but I was not informed upon check-in about it. my other concern is that they put temporary greens in the rough off of the fairway. one hole they did fix up so the temporary green was at least somewhat putt-able but the other was basically straight rough. both holes were par 5's. the first one being redone was shortened by 75-100 yards and took out a water hazard. at best in the conditions it was a par 4. the other was only shortened by 50 yards or so and didnt change the over-all challenge of the hole, though the normal green location gives it a different look. I will definitely be back to play the course again, but hopefully next time, any temp greens will be appropriately taken care of and we will be informed upon check-in.
Good but Greens are Rough
Greens are not in bad shape right now. So many bare patches makes every putt bumpy and inconsistent. Plus, 2 greens, both on par 5s, are not available so they just put a pin in the middle of the fairway for you to hit that isn't even mowed as a putting surface. Can't see myself going back until this is improved.
Work in progress
3 of the greens were partially or completely closed / under repair. The other greens were bumpy and a bit slow. A challenging layout, particularly the back nine, with hills, blind shots, and a lot of distance between holes.
Nice course greens in bad shape
LLove the course but the greens are bad. They seem to be working on them but had 3 greens completely shut down with flags on the fareway. Wish the price would have reflected this.
The Course needs work!
Cart paths were new 😊
But actual Greens were spotty and very bumpy. There were three temporary greens.
Traps were not raked or trimmed around.
river falls
Greens were terrible and for the most part unplayable. I should have got my money back
Greens are atrocious
I’m not sure what’s going on with the greens, but the majority of them are either diseased or something. It was like putting on dirt with some grass sprinkled in
Fun But Greens Unhealthy
Always love coming here, friendly staff and great food/drinks, but something is wrong with the greens right now. Dead spots and bumpy, with some sand top dressing on a few. Hope the greens heal soon!
Course was closed due to rain. Need to get a rebate on this purchase
Whole course aerated
First thing when we arrived we noticed that the Driving Range and Putting Green was closed for maintenance. I asked if we can tee off earlier or could be squeezed in since we didn't want to wait 30min doing nothing. There was no flexibility from the staff.
Moving up to the Tee Box we noticed that the whole course including Tee Boxes were aerated. $35 for 9 holes of an aerated golf course is way too much. Greens were in really poor conditions, even some off them had no grass at all and felt like putting on stone.
Will avoid this course in the future.
Green painted mud...
Usually this course is in excellent conditions. Not this time. Somehow they killed ALL greens, including practice greens. Not a word about the situation or lower the fees. So I hope they can recover soon. Thanks
