In the new review of the old version of Rainbow Falls, you can see all of us having fun. In this post we included some fantastic photos of the creatures in the light at their best and finished with a photo of the new paint job by the folks that purchased the course that feel frightening in a very different way, especially the eyes of the shark.

Needed to get up this review of Rainbow Falls mini Needed to get up this review of Rainbow Falls mini golf in Myrtle Beach from a bit back before the course changes too much more. The defunct course review now up on the site documents the facility a few years ago before some already questionable renovations by the new owners. This is one of the oldest and most classic looking courses still operating in Myrtle Beach.
