The Refuge Golf Club
Played On 04/23/2017Wanted to really like this course
My father came in from out of state just to catch up and we decided to hit the links (when it's nice weather in April, you kind of have to). Took to google/golf advisor to find a course near by. I have recently moved to the area so my knowledge of local golf is lacking. Came across The Refuge. Read some mixed reviews but figured for the price it was worth it. Sad to say those mixed reviews are spot on.
I have read several comments on "Staff Friendliness" -- my experience was not that way. Seemed like I was almost bothering the employees by wanting to golf and was shuffled quickly to the tee box rudely.
I am no means an expert golfer reflected in playing from the green tees and did really enjoy the layout from there. I imagine peak months, if maintained correctly, this could be a very nice course. Sadly, even though the year is early, this course is not in good shape. From slow greens to grass growing in the sand traps, there is a lot left to be desired.
This is very much a get what you pay for golf course (got a discount rate through golfnow -- taxes and fee's for two with cart came to 100 total) that unfortunately has left it's heyday in the past. The bones of a great course is there, sadly there is no meat on it.
