River Falls Plantation at River Falls Plantation Golf

River Falls Plantation is a Gary Player design located in Duncan, South Carolina, in the Upstate region between Greenville and Spartanburg. Opened in the late 1990s, the course reflects Player's design philosophy of strategic bunkering and risk-reward opportunities, with an emphasis on playability for a range of skill levels. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Carolina Piedmont, incorporating natural elevation changes and mature hardwoods into the routing.

The course features water hazards on several holes, including creeks and ponds that come into play on approach shots and around greens. Player's signature style of deep, sculptured bunkers appears throughout, requiring thoughtful course management and accurate iron play. The greens are typically contoured with multiple pin positions, rewarding players who position their tee shots strategically. The property maintains a residential community character, with homes lining some fairways, though the routing preserves natural corridors and wooded buffers.

River Falls Plantation operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and public play. The course serves the growing Upstate South Carolina golf market, providing a championship-length layout with tournament-quality conditioning. The design balances challenge with accessibility, featuring multiple tee boxes that allow players to select appropriate yardages. The setting takes advantage of the region's natural beauty, with seasonal color from native vegetation and views across the rolling landscape typical of this part of the state.
