Soooo Deer! Photo submitted by Julie7190744 on 07/08/2021
cool course
the course was a overall fun time and in good shape, the greens were basically bricks and felt like walking on concrete but for the 11 bucks I paid I really enjoyed, note: don't play here if your not good as you wont have a good time and will lose lots of money in balls.
The Refuge
Great value 4a really nice Golf Course! Thanks so much! D
Very well maintained
Beautiful course, very well maintained, challenging but fair golf course. Uses the natural terrain well, pace of play on the day I played (a weekday around noon, when you expect pace of play to be at its best) was grueling, able to play 3 holes without waiting, and then waited for the next 15 holes, 18 holes took 4.5 hours, my group joined the group ahead and we still waited on every tee box.
Brutal Test of Golf
Every hole required you to think and make sure your next shot didn't find a hazard. Played from the black tee markers except for #9 which had a carry of 250 yards to clear the marsh. The sand was top notch for MN golf courses. The greens were watered but not to the point where you could throw a ball with backspin at the green and expect the ball to spin backwards. Fairways and rough could use some additional water to get everything nice and green. The carts had GPS but not as nice as a personal Garmin GPS which was used on several holes to navigate safely around this course. It was a great course if you can play target golf but if you wander a bit off the fairway this course will make you pay and it might be a long day. Clubhouse was nice and I would definitely make another trip to play this course for the right price.
Great Course Conditions
Staff is Outstanding
Course is in Great shape
Layout is fair but challenging
Love this place season pass holder
Fun day
Course is in great shape. Some long carries to carry wetlands off the black tees on a few holes. Unique & challenging
Good Course
I visited the refuge on a work trip and enjoyed it! The greens were a touch slow but they rolled pure. They had some really interesting layouts and they love some par 3’s here! Would play again.
Decent Tier 2 course in MSP
Wouldn’t consider this one of MN top courses but clearly within the second tier. Very good par 5s, with risk/reward options playing in rolling hills. Good course, definitely recommend and you’ll have to hit the ball off the tee to be able to enjoy this place.
Good greens
Greens were fast but in good shape the fairways were not great they were plugged and a little rough
Excellent course with a good choice of tee boxes
I have always enjoyed this course. Beautiful layout. Challenging but fun!
Nice day
A little chilly out, but for this time of the year, the course was in good shape. The greens were true and a little pretty quick I had fun played decent always like The Refuge.
Great!
This is a tough course, but the fairways are always pristine and the greens are fast! There are a few bumpy spots coming off the cart path, but all in all a great course!
Slowest round I’ve played in a long time
The course was in pretty good shape, tee boxes and greens had some rough areas. The only part that was troublesome was the pace of play. 5 hours and 26 mins for 18. A couple tee boxes were backed up with two groups waiting. Otherwise the experience was good minus the slow play
Refuge golf
Always love to play at the refuge! Course is beautiful and the staff is really nice. Play was quick.
Everybody hits the ball off the tee!
