The Refuge Golf Club

Top ten for MN!

Needs better pace of play on Saturdays - 5 hour round.

I personally enjoy this course, I love the cat tails on some of the holes and the nature reserve aspect of the course. It is well maintained, the range is nice, clubhouse is awesome and it is a challenging course. The staff is average, I can't say they are welcoming but its not at a hotel. There is a bar but no restaurant, so its good for drinks but if you are hungry you may have to venture down HWY 65. I love the layout of this course and I think you will too. The greens are great and are challenging, and if you play from the correct tee you will find that this course is not a cake walk. I have played it 4 times so far this season and the 2 rounds mid to late season have been the best. Everything grows in nicely and gives the course a very nice setting.

Great coarse and great value. Pin placement always challenging

We had 10 singles played past us. My question is why ?

I play the Refuge several times a summer. It has a consistency of maintenance and is a very enjoyable layout. Played on a very busy day so had to cut short after 14 holes. That was my problem not the pace of play. The pace considering the number of players in the course was quite reasonable. Was included with a very nice group of golfers, which makes this a even better. Very enjoyable.

A couple of our guys came from Wisconsin as it is well worth the drive up Hwy 65. Course is very scenic, plays as easy or tough as you want to make it from the tee-box, and its always in great shape. Appreciate the friendly staff and Groupon offering as well! Highly recommend!

Awesome course to play during the week due to less traffic.

this course is usually in great shape and you can usually move at a good pace. Greens had ball marks all over them. Had to wait on most all shots. 8 min tee times is crowded. For the price I would expect more.

the course is in perfect condition. Not a long course at all but very challenging. Have to use every club in your bag for the variety of shots you need to hit.

staff was very helpful and friendly.

do yourself a favor and take a trip up to the refuge-it's worth the drive.

Play here alot. Value is great for price. The track is pretty fair, only 2 kind of wonky holes. Greens are usually in great condition, roll true, course staff needs to groom and clear debris more often through out the day thought. Tee boxes also need loads of work. Carts have a reasonable accurate gps. Overall a great course, worth the 30-40min drive from the cities.

Played late on a Saturday afternoon and got through in about 3.5 hours. Was stunned at how open it was on a beautiful day. Cost was only 25 riding, which is almost free!. It was low enough to get us to come from Plymouth. I've played the refuge many times in the past, but it had been a couple years. The course was very dry compared to what I was used to there. Nothing yet burned out as we have had lots of rain but notably dry especially the fairways. They are definitely not watering enough. Outside of that it was an enjoyable round.

Fun course, with a nice layout. Some easy holes, some very challenging.

This course is very nice, well maintained with great practice facilities. I came early season so the cat tails are still flat, this course really looks awesome in prime season.

Hard golf course but boy is it fun. Staff has never been the friendliest but they are cordial and will answer when asked.

I played here for the first (after several recommendations from coworkers) recently on a cool, overcast day and had the course to ourselves. Course was in fair to decent shape with plenty of normal wear and tear (unfixed ball marks and plenty of unfilled divots) seen at public courses. The layout is deceivingly long for the yardage and has some fun holes carved out of the marsh. I will definitely play here again.

I played here and found the course to be in very nice shape. The greens are firm and hold a good shot and they are not really fast but are still quick. The greens are difficult to putt on because of the small ridges and hills on them...best to be below the hole so you can take a run at the hole.

4:20 is too late to get in 18. Course was full and movin at about 4:40 pace. Thought we could finish by 8:30 when we made the tee time. Not today. When it got dark and everyone left the course, we played quickly.

Course is beautiful. Multiple tee boxes let you bite of any to all you can handle. Championship greens with healthy turf throughout the complexes. Great design with lots of variety, give it a try. ✌

A bit of a hike, but well worth it. This is a real nice course in great condition. Excellent value.
