Great course, slow play
Needed a ranger today, they had a starter, but no one on the course to keep it moving. A guy I played with found 30 golf balls though .
Always Great
Love this place! Wish people would actually take the time to repair their ballmarks, but there was a tourney that wrapped up right before I teed off. Other than that-No complaints!!!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Refuge Golf Club.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing The Refuge Golf Club!
New favorite course
This course was amazing. Really nice, great location and views, nice staff. Some people complain about the pace but even at normal pace it's hour twenty minute play per the scorecard. It's a difficult course but so fun. A couple other players had attitude and actually yelled at us and other groups - totally uncalled for. But most people were nice and the facilities were great.
imiGPAr368jihwFHSimV, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Refuge Golf Club.
Not a top 10 course
100$ to play 18 holes on Sunday with my friends. I’m standing on the 1st tee box and the ranger is digging through my golf bag while I’m teeing off, how distracting is that after I just payed. He didn’t find anything!!!!! We bought off the cart girl like why are you in my bag??!!! Never had that happen to me before. The cart broke down on the 2nd tee box had to get that replaced. I am lucky I didn’t get hit twice from the group behind us, both shots off the tee box before I can take my 2nd shot. One hit our cart and 1 almost hit me in the head I was angry I said something to them. I’ve never ever been treated that way at a golf course in Minnesota let alone claim to be a top 10 course. No one in the clubhouse cares that I almost got hit in the head with a drive, the refuge couldn’t care less. They told me see ya were sorry. I didn’t like how I was treated. Still broke 90 and I played terrible I wonder why I was so distracted!!!!

The pace of play was horrible , which was such a bummer because we were so excited to play here. We waited on every hole . There was times we were backed up 3 groups. The one bathroom on the course was disgusting.

Well maintained
Had a ton of fun playing as a group of 4. Surprisingly caught a bottleneck for last 4 holes behind two groups but enjoyed the pause during the heat. Cart service on point, visited probably every 3-4 holes. Only negative was that the golf now good price was only for 3 golfers not the entire group of 4.

Fantastic course
This place is legit!!
If you haven't played this course, you need to...
Not certain how busy this course actually is, but it always seems like I'm the only one playing...love that!!
Great views, layout and always in primo condition. Also lots of options for tee boxes for every skill level...definitely a premium public course for a very reasonable price...and great practice area! Range, giant practice green, and practice bunker. Can't think of 1 thing this place is missing...
PLAY IT, you won't be disappointed!!
Thank you for your review, Hawgmo. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Refuge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
I loved this course!
This was my first time playing the Refuge, and I was highly impressed! There’s a large clubhouse with all the amenities you could ask for. The golf carts had GPS, which was very helpful for a first-timer. The course layout was phenomenal and was a host to a plethora of shots. The scenic view was also beautiful, including water shots and rolling hills. I gave this course the two thumbs up to anyone contemplating playing here!
Thank you for your review, rosko8480. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Refuge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
