A golf stay and play worth finding

What I loved most about the Refuge was its full package. The hotel's good. The aqua-range is fun. The view from the Missy Sippy Roof Top Bar is incredible. A nice golf course, redesigned in 2019 by Nathan Crace, completes the experience. There's a lot of water out there, so place your shots judiciously. A lost a few more pellets than I wanted to, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. I'd recommend any golfers coming to Jackson make the eight-mile trek out to The Refuge for a round, followed by dinner and drinks in the sky.

Best bang in the area - public welcome

Best public track in the area for the dollar. Pace of play can be an issue so take off as early as possible 👍🏼

The course was a great challenge

Loved the course, almost felt like it was private most the time. Would definitely consider buying a membership because of the peaceful course and all the birds. It was a perfect challenge with water lining the side of most holes. Bring more than 12 balls even if you’re fairly good. 10/10 would recommend.

Robert c

If one plays as a single, finding your ball in the rough can be very,very challenging. Grass cut jjust high enough to hide the ball. Otherwise great layout.

The course was in good conditions. played pretty good. Pace of play was slow. Took just under 5 hours to play 18. During the afternoon heat of the day was not to enjoyable. All the water coolers on the course were bone dry and the beverage cart only came around 1 time the entire 18. Staff in pro shop seemed to bust to help. I would recommend this course to others but would tell them to stay at the Hotel to hopefully get better hospitality

Great course

I haven’t played The Refuge in almost 30 years desire a couple of days ago. It have been greatly improved. The fairways are beautiful and the greens putt true. It is a little more narrow than most courses I play usually but that just helps work on my game. This is more of a personal benefit but it is only about 40 minutes from my house and by far the nicest course within that drive distance. I joined the Troon program so I could receive the discount for playing there because I will make this my go-to golf course.

Fun course

Conditions were great. Layout was great. When the food menu pops up after the 6th hole, be sure to place your order. the kitchen was pretty slow getting food out after nine holes.
