Greens were slow. Fairways were good. From the back tees this course is a definite challenge.

The fairways had been aerated with large holes. The greens were in terrible condition. The tee boxes were poor. A nice course layout but the conditions were deplorable.
I wondered why we were one of a few on the course.. it became quite clear after the first hole.

Has to be the worst course I've ever played on GolfNow!

The greens were in good shape. The fairways are in fair shape but the tee boxes were poor at best. I have never played a course that had no ball washers. You can see where they had been but they were all removed.
If you can't get on anywhere else then go for it. A couple of tricked up holes.
It really looks like this was a nice track but it appears to be on a serious decline.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing this course even with the wet conditions. The maintenance staff were busy in attempting to catch up with the down time due to the recent downpours. The course was definitely challenging with its hilly and winding terrain. The greens were very consistent and in good shape except for the debris falling from all the strong winds. The sand traps needed some more sand but they were probably compacted due to the rain. Pro shop had a very good selection of attire and decent selection of clubs. The bar area was pretty laid back and the clientele was most cordial. I think on a sunny, wind free day this course would be really special!

This was my favorite course in the Twin City areas! The fairways and the greens were fantastic. Have absolutely nothing bad to say about this course. The holes were very challenging but fair. Excellent track and I would highly recommend it. I look forward to the next opportunity to tee it up at The Refuge!

The price I received through Golf Now made this a good deal!! I could not in good conscience recommend this golf course to anyone at regular price. There were a few good holes on the track but the descriptions of the holes were poor and inadequate. The greens were pretty good but the fairways on the back side was nonexistent. If you have the opportunity to play the course I would highly recommend you play with someone that has played it before. The staff was very friendly and the the cheeseburger and fries were very good.

Enjoyed playing this course. Greens and fairways were very good. Sand traps need some work. Great layout and some very good holes. Would highly recommend this course.

There's an excellent driving range and a huge practice green. The course was in very good shape. A great value for the price that was offered on GolfNow!
Highly recommend!

The staff was very courteous and helpful. The overall condition of the course was eccentric. The greens were extremely nice. Would highly recommend.

The only way I could recommend this course is f you can not get on any other course in the Bradenton area!!
They changed the front and the back nine around in the last few weeks or months and neglected to mention that tidbit of information. Thus my rangefinder was completely useless until I joined up with a local couple on the back nine and they informed me of the change!
