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. Rolling hills provide a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. 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.

Fun and interesting course. Tee boxes need re-sodding
Good layout and some challenging holes. Smooth and fair greens. Some tee boxes need work
Nice layout!
One of the greatest things I enjoy about golf is driving out to courses that I never played before and this is how I ended up at River Falls on April 13. I was immediately impressed by the community that surrounds the course and all the azaleas that were in bloom on this beautiful spring day. The clubhouse was very nice and the staff was very friendly. The course was the star attraction, however. I thoroughly enjoyed the layout. The fairways were still a little tight, leading to lots of rollout, and there wasn't much rough to speak of, but the conditions were overall pristine. There were many memorable holes as well as some very unique challenges. I really enjoyed the holes that ran along the river and I really, really enjoyed the elevation changes on many other holes. Several holes required very precise placement and I appreciate course that don't make you reach for driver on very hole. Some of my long irons got a workout on the tee boxes, which for me was a refreshing change of pace from the bomb and gouge style of play you need at some venues. While I enjoy traveling to new courses, this is one course I can't wait to get back to and try again.
Phenomenal!
Stopped by for an afternoon round on my way back home to the Myrtle Beach area. Layout was fantastic!! Lots of great holes on this course! Will definitely be back!! Beware - greens are extremely FAST!!!
Friday Golf Date
Fantastic experience! Considering it was January 20th, the conditions were outstanding! The greens are fast and true. Well worth the money and as fantastic Lay-out! We will definitely be back!
Tough course that’s in great shape.
Considering a week ago at this time we were in the 20’s for a high temp the course and greens are in great shape. Fast and smooth so you can still score if you can hit the shots and stay out of trouble.

Need To Think About Your Shots
The staff was courteous and accommodating. The course was in very playable conditions, only a few areas of casual water with nearby relief. Greens rolled true and were painted and rough was recently mowed. There is much challenge from the tees and fairways with elevation and slope. I play 5300-5500 yards with an 18 handicap. This course is exceptional during spring and summer. I've played River Falls at least four times in different seasons.

Fun course, friendly staff and locals
I booked as a single, but while on the putting green, one of the locals invited me to play in their game for a $5 buy in. Fun group, fun format, good time.

8 year olds first full 18.
The staff were great. We really enjoyed our time and you could tell they really enjoyed the younger crowd playing the course. I still think this is one of the best courses in the upstate if you enjoy variety in elevation play.
