Thank you for your review, Jbaken. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at The Refuge Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
SLOW!!!!!
Nice course design with a great mix of holes. Unfortunately the pace of play is very slow out there. Waited 5-7 minutes on every tee. Many of the holes we had 4 groups on the same hole. Called the clubhouse 5 holes in and they did nothing. After 14 holes we called it and found a group of 5 holding up the whole course.
Poor pace of play is what happens when T-Times are Double or even TRIPLE booked.

Pace of play
Great course- great layout- poor pace of play. No ranger on the course led to a backup on hole 3 that lasted throughout the round

Refuge
Course was in pretty nice shape. Pace of play for a Thursday morning tee time was painfully slow- 4:40.

Challenging but fair
The Refuge is always well maintained from the tee boxes to the green. The bunkers are some of the most forgiving in the state, ranks equally with courses that cost 2-3 times more!
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us, dmdboss. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round!
Beautiful Course
Beautiful course. Wonderful with the fall colors. Slow round though, three groups waiting to tee off on some holes.

Best value in Twin Cities
The course is laid out beautifully. There are a ton of trees and a few forced carries throughout the course. There are four sets of tees which allows golfers of all levels a fun round. The greens are very receptive, but tend to run true. I would say this is my favorite course in the north metro. The backside is quite a challenge and the course dares you to take out your driver. You need all the shots to get around this course with a good score!

Hi 2hawks. 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.
I’m done playing here
The entire round was spent waiting. The whole course was stacked. The round took over 5 hours. Maybe space tee times a bit farther apart. Honestly, I want my money back. It wasn’t enjoyable to wait 10 minutes at every tee. You lost a loyal customer. By the looks of it, you lost a few yesterday.
Hello, PM1118. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. We always appreciate the feedback. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing The Refuge Golf Club.
Refuge
Course was in good condition. A couple low spots very wet from recent rain. A couple greens had some rough spots on them. In another week, leaves will be in full color and very scenic. Nice Fall round of golf!
Thank you for visiting us at The Refuge Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great out of town course
Course is in great condition, forward tees give ladies a chance to keep up with the guys. Quite challenging for the guys.

Very nice course
Great course overall. It was maintained very nicely, and it had a nice level of challenge to it. Staff was all very friendly as well.

You better know where your driver is going
Easy to find, easy check in, nice facility, carts good but no sand bottle, no bucket for our towels and no drinking water on course, but this is MN, few ball washers and garbage baskets, tees were really beat for such a nice looking course, sometimes hard to find a decent spot to hit from on par 3s, fairways good, bunkers have nice sand, greens roll nice and fairly fast and seemingly few straight putts, good price on GN, poor pace at 5 hrs today, good partners today but they lost a lot of balls, if your going to hit it far you better know where it is going, can't drive carts in parking lot, and then they want you return them below the clubhouse even farther away when you are done and tired, no sand buckets on par 3s either, positives I think outweigh the negatives , but this course could be even nicer with a little better upkeep and our help if they would let us, and lastly a few holes with pretty long carries and I think I am playing from the correct tees

Very nice course. Really enjoyed the layout and scenery. The course was in terrific condition other than some low wet spots which is understandable with all the rain. I played early in the morning and the only real complaint I have was only one of the greens had been mowed when I played and so I was putting on wet greens the whole round. I teed off around 7am. Other than that the course was beautiful and challenging.
