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!

Hi, uYCPZ9381YC. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at The Refuge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Looking good for 2023
It’s early season MN, so as expected greens still wet and slower, but rolling true, fairways not cut tight yet, but plenty of grass. With that said, it looks to be set up nicely for 2023.
We’ll packed round on a weekday..
This is a challenging golf course, with emphasis on accuracy. Keep it on the short grass!
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.
