Key Information

Three Reasons Golfers Choose Rainbow Hills

With pro-level design, a cool highland atmosphere and comprehensive facilities, it is highly regarded as one of Southeast Asia’s premier mountain golf experiences.

1. Three distinct courses, 27 holes — Combine Mountain, Forest and Stone Hills to play 18 holes, and encounter a fresh challenge every visit.
2. Highland coolness and mountain views — Set in the Sentul hills, it offers cool, fresh air and dramatic scenery overlooking the mountains.
3. Great access and facilities — Reached via the Sentul City exit of the Jagorawi toll road, with international-standard facilities including The Pavilion.

Location and Access

Rainbow Hills is located in the mountainous terrain of Sentul, in Cijayanti, Babakan Madang, Bogor Regency. With its cool air, fresh atmosphere and scenery in harmony with nature, it is one of Indonesia’s premier destinations for golfers across the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) area. It is also popular with travelers from other cities who want to enjoy mountain sightseeing and golf at the same time, and clear signage makes it easy to reach without getting lost.

Access is by company car or private vehicle: about 50 km from central Jakarta, roughly one and a half hours via the Jagorawi toll road (Sentul City exit), and about 45 minutes from Bogor. Ride-hailing services such as Grab and Gojek are also convenient, and the course is popular with expatriates living near Jakarta. You can enjoy a cool round in the morning, or play in the afternoon while watching the sun set over the hills.

27-Hole Design by JMP and the Signature 13th

Rainbow Hills’ main selling point is its 27-hole layout, divided into three unique nine-hole courses: the Mountain Course, the Forest Course and the Stone Hills Course. Mountain and Forest opened in 1995 and were created by the prestigious U.S. design firm J. Michael Poellot Golf Design Group (JMP). The Stone Hills nine was designed by Robert Moore Jr. and added in 2014–2015. An 18-hole combination measures about 6,289 meters at par 72, delivering a different playing experience depending on the pairing.

Common to all three courses are dramatic contours that make the most of the undulating mountain terrain, along with challenging elevation changes. There are many sharp doglegs, tight fairways and strategically placed bunkers, while fast, multi-tiered greens raise the difficulty of both approach shots and putting. Mountain is characterized by undulation and steeply sloping greens, Forest by tree-lined holes that demand accuracy, and Stone Hills by scenery that leverages rocky ground and elevation changes.

Hailed as the jewel of the 27 holes is the par-5 13th. From a tiered tee box, you take in a full view of the downhill fairway leading toward the hills. Out of bounds lies to the left and a large bunker to the right, demanding an accurate shot; the second shot calls for a 3-wood or long iron to handle the left-hand dogleg, after which you approach a green surrounded by water and bunkers. It is a memorable hole that tests every facet of your strategy.

A Golf Experience at One with Nature

Playing at Rainbow Hills is a unique experience that blends the course’s technical challenge with the cool nature of the mountains. The individual character of each of the three courses, the views overlooking the peaks, and the immaculately maintained conditions bring both relaxation and focus. Beginners can enjoy the scenery from the forward tees, while advanced players can test their strategy on the elevation changes and multi-tiered greens. Thanks to its 27-hole scale and generous hospitality, it can create a memorable day as a venue for corporate golf, competitions and community events.
