The Links at Rainbow Curve Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes The Links at Rainbow Curve truly stand out from other courses in the US?

You'll immediately notice the dramatic elevation changes, especially around the 'Rainbow Curve' itself, which isn't just a name-it's a series of holes (10-12) that sweep around a natural amphitheater. This unique topography, combined with genuine links-style firm and fast conditions, sets it apart from typical American parkland courses. We found it a refreshing challenge.

When is the absolute best time of year to experience The Links at Rainbow Curve, and what should I expect from the conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The weather is usually perfect for golf, and the course plays firm and fast, just as a true links should, without the harsh summer heat or winter chill. Expect the wind to be a constant factor, adding to the authentic links challenge.

I've heard 'Links' courses can be tricky. What's the biggest challenge at Rainbow Curve, and what's your top tip for scoring well?

The biggest challenge here is definitely managing the wind and the undulating, often hidden, green complexes. Our best advice is to embrace the ground game-don't always fly it to the pin, but learn to bump and run shots into those receptive slopes. It's a true test of creativity around the greens.

Beyond the golf, what's the overall experience like at The Links at Rainbow Curve, and is it worth the green fee?

Absolutely, it's worth it. The clubhouse offers fantastic views from its patio, perfect for a post-round drink, and the practice facilities are top-notch, including a dedicated short game area that mimics the course's tricky greens. You're paying for a truly unique and memorable links experience in the US, not just 18 holes.

Which holes at The Links at Rainbow Curve offer the most memorable views or unique challenges that I absolutely shouldn't miss?

You can't miss the par-3 11th, aptly named 'The Apex,' which plays downhill into the heart of the Rainbow Curve with stunning panoramic views. Also, the finishing par-5 18th is a beast, demanding precision off the tee and a brave approach over a winding creek to a well-guarded green. These two really capture the course's spirit.
