The Refuge is one of the best public courses in Mississippi. Beautifully maintained with a layout that’s both challenging and fun. The fairways are in great shape, the greens roll true, and the scenery is fantastic, especially around the water hazards. Staff is always helpful and friendly, and the clubhouse and nearby resort make the whole experience feel premium. Whether you're a serious golfer or just out for a casual round, The Refuge is definitely worth the visit!

Staff in the club house were great. Young lady in the bar food area was very attentive. The fairways fair and were nice with not very many bare spots. Lots of water.Greens were great and putted well and true. Not real fond of the aqua driving range but ok. Nice carts with GPS. Definitely will return here.

Resort style! Course is kept in great shape. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoy rounds here with friends as well as taking business clients for a day of golf. Nice practice facility with driving range, chipping green and putting green. Nice restaurant with plenty of drinking food options plus on course beverage service. Great place for family, friends and business

No matter what you read from other reviewers, know that a visit to the Refuge means mud. If you LOVE MUD and LOVE PLAYING IN MUD 365 days a year, the Refuge is the place for you! The other reviewers clearly overlooked this flaw.
But to what other reviewers have said, the course easily could be one of the best in the State of Mississippi, but the superintendent insists on keeping it utterly saturated with water! The members hate it, and nobody understands it, but the superintendent does not listen to the members or the head pro!
HE EVEN WATERS THE COURSE DURING A RAIN STORM!
One person keeps the course from being FIVE STARS! But even with that aquaphile at the sprinkler controls, people love the course. You can enjoy yourself. Just know that you won't get much roll, 9 of 10 balls you hit will be covered in mud, and you'll need to wash the mud off your golf shoes when you're finished.

Great course for what it is. I can't really say much about the greens because they just punched them. I was notified before booking though so I knew what I was getting into. The course is in great shape. It is pretty open with some small bunkers and water in play. Only 4 stars because It is kinda "squishy" in certain low areas (not too crazy though) and I only saw the Cart girl once. Go play, you'll enjoy it!
