Rainbow Hills Pavilion Rainbow Hills Pavilion you look around to appreciate the beauty of this high-class golf course. In fact, the 558-metre 13th hole has been included in Golf Magazine’s book The 500 World’s Greatest Golf Holes, describing it as “inspiring mountain views frame this strategic hole from the elevated tee”. There are many excellent holes but when it comes to describing the feature hole, Asia’s #1 golf tour operator, Golf Asian, states: “There are some long par-4 and par-5 holes with breathtaking views. The signature hole thirteen is one of the best par fives around. The elevated tee affords excellent views over the course and surrounding areas and drops to a downhill fairway. Out of bounds left and bunkers right require a straight drive to be in play. Finding the fairway some 130 meters below is the key to success. A 3-wood here works better than a driver. The second shot is a dogleg to the left. Another nice wood is required to stay clear of the water. The approach shot plays to a well-bunkered green. The ninth and eighteenth holes are also standouts. A par-4 and par-5, respectively, they finish with an approach over waterfalls in front of the clubhouse. Any groups at Rainbow Hills can watch their fellow golfers close out their rounds from the clubhouse balcony.” 52 Destination Golf .TRAVEL The facilities on offer at the golf club are generous, such as: Pro shop, practise range, VIP lockers, massage, sauna and a separate Pavilion area for an exclusive area for up to 16 people.
