River Falls Plantation

Even in the fairways the lies are tight. The track is challenging but the fairways doesn't lend itself to a descent lie to hit your shots.

nice tract ..better drive it straight...................................................

Grabbed a last minute deal on GolfNow after a long sustained rain. Course condition was excellent with no large puddling anywhere. Fairways were green and lush and the greens smooth and flat. Other than one, Par 5s were a little short, making getting on in 2 less challenging than usual. They made up for this with some tough par 3s. All in all, we really enjoyed this course and look forward to playing again.

A very challenging track with many awkward golf shots. The terrain has dictated some hole layouts that would require a player to have many rounds to figure out a good strategy. You won't get many straight forward golf shots on your round here. Greens were in good shape but difficult to read. Many elevation changes and creeks make for a very challenging round.

Well organized, were able to get on course at our tee time, course was well maintained and easy to navigate. Will play there again.

I rate this course slightly above average for layout; certainly does not play long, but accuracy is required.

I played hers several times a few years ago and it was a nice course. It could be again with proper maintenance. Not much grass in fairways and greens very bumpy.

Beautiful and challenging course. I did however play in late Winter so obviously the course was not in pristine condition but it was considerably better than the majority of others in the area given the time of year. The price was a little steep (thank god for the discount) and the staff was super nice. Had a great time and would definitely recommend this course to a friend.

The greens were true without many hidden surprises.

Considering winter play the course was in excellent condition. Fairways are excellent and greens are even better. Facilities were exceptional with excellent service and food.

There was no real negative to the course. However, you need to play it once before you concern yourself with scoring. There are an inordinate number of holes where you have no idea of the landing area, even if you have the course yardage book. You have to look out where you think the fairway would be and just trust it. If you are capable of just hitting into an abyss without concern you are usually fine as the fairways are very fair, just not visible from the tee boxes.

Also, for a course that is only 6500 yards, it has several holes where a driver is actually required, unlike most of the courses in the area. There are holes that are shorter and they require shot making skills but have fair landing areas. And the approach shots are varied in lengths and shot making requirements.

Once you have played the course you will be astounded at the assortment of shots required and the pleasure you find in accomplishment. Your pleasure will be enhanced by experiencing some the fastest, smoothest greens you have ever played.

I would highly recommend. Pace of play was good. The greens are very good. The course is very fair with a few tight holes. It is challenging from the back tees.

Great course for the money. The only thing is my foursome tracked down several groups that insisted on playing slow with no ranger it took us 2.5 hours to play the back side.

Staff was closing course down due to cold front coming to cover greens. and my elderly Dad and I had the entire course to ourselves for the whole day....Priceless experience!!!

I haven't played here in a few years but really enjoyed it. Long hitters will be challenged a few times with risk/reward shots. GolfNow.com got me a great deal on the course, would gladly play there again.

Very scenic area on several holes; some blind holes makes for a challenge. Definitely need a cart.

Very nice course. Some nice challenging holes. beautiful scenery. everything was great. Bunkers needed work, but stay out of the bunkers. We will play it again

played on a cloudy day in december and was only one on course. first time playing it - thought it was great! would love to play again in summer. great mix of risk reward holes.

The course was in great shape, very clean. All greens were clean and rolled smooth. There are holes with problems you cannot see until you are upon them. Several holes with water just before the greens make shots critical to be over the creek. Several nice long doglegs make for tough second shots but fair!

River Falls is an interesting, challenging course. Some holes have significant elevation changes. The greens were in good shape, firm and fast. The Bermuda grass on the rest of the course was dormant (being December). You were able to get a good lie in the fairway. There were few people on the course at mid day so pace of play was not a problem.

River Falls used to be one of the top notch courses in the upstate of South Carolina, but sadly it has fallen into the middle third of couses now. Difficult layout, but with some easier holes to make up for the tough ones. Needs attention to the fringe areas, those areas off the fairways often frequented by the average golfer. Also needs some attention to the cart paths. Tree roots make the ride very rough in many areas. Overall, a pleasant experience.
