This eighteen hole course affords golfers a challenging round of golf. Water comes into play on fifteen holes in the form of creeks and ponds. Three holes share one moderate-sized lake. The greens are fairly large, with some undulation. They are fairly flat, but do offer enough breaks to make it interesting. The fairways are tight, but not overly restrictive. Along with the course's abundance of water, there are also some natural conservation areas that are protected. Overall, the course is flat and easily walkable. Perhaps the most challenging hole on the course is #18, a 573-yard, par 5, which has a sizeable water hazard on the fairway and another that protects the green. To add further contemplation on how to approach this green, a wooded area is located to the other side of the water.

 Top notch public course, Nov 08, 2007 |
| reviewer: Anonymous
from Meridian, MS |
| This course is a very nice well kept course. I have played it 3 times now, and it is still very challenging. Water is in play off the tee, and around the greens on many of the holes, so it may not be wise to hit driver without paying attention to the score card to view the locations of the water. Most holes will be mid to long iron shots for the safest play, and if you can work the ball left and right, you will have a great advantage on the course. The greens are in good shape and of various sizes. Overall VERY NICE COURSE!!!! |

"Thinker's Course", Jun 01, 2006 |
| reviewer: Chris Roe
from Pearl, MS |
| Although The Refuge is a fun course to play and the conditions are always impeccable, is has been called a “thinker’s course” requiring strategy and skill more than merely brute strength. |

 Challeges your Iron Play, Apr 04, 2004 |
| reviewer: Chris
from Jackson, MS |
| This is a great course for those who don't hit the long ball. If you are good with your irons, you will really like this course. Tight fairways and fast greens with some sand and water. You will have to draw and fade the ball. Great challenging course with a low price. |
