About
Providence Golf Club in Richmond has a rich and unique history. The original location along the Pocoshock Creek closed in 1985 but the property and an adjacent parcel of land were then bought by a new development company. The additional land was used for six new holes while the original property now has longer and more spacious holes. The golf course then had another redesign in 2002 that was overseen by Virginia native Lester George, who is known for designing the highest ranked golf course in the state, Kinloch Golf Club. Providence G.C. wanders through a beautiful landscape of towering trees and wetlands. George utilized these natural features to create a number of risk-reward opportunities throughout the course. The golf course finishes with a risk-reward hole that is heavily guarded by both bunkers and a creek.

Immaculate condition
Title says it all. Course was in absolutely fantastic shape this past weekend. Glad to see it being taken care of.
Aeration Season
My biggest turn off for a course is when course maintenance isn’t coded on the golf now app. We were blindsided after getting a tee time thinking the course was fine… turns out when we got there the back nine was closed due to aeration on the greens and we were told we had to play the front 9 twice. If we knew the course was undergoing aeration we wouldn’t have booked. Long story short… don’t trust the app. Call the course during this season and verify things are good!
Pleasantly Surprised
Providence Golf Club was in excellent shape when I played it. The greens were in great shape and rolled really true. The speed of the greens was slightly on the slower side, but were in some of the best shape for a public course that I can recall playing. Hole distances allowed for a good use of most of my clubs.
I recently relocated to the area and I am still learning which courses to play, but this one will definitely be on my rotation.
It's a gem
The staff was friendly and gracious. The course offers a variety of tees for all levels of play so play your game. Conditions were fantastic...well maintained tee boxes, beautiful fairways and challenging greens. Book your tee time ASAP!
Slow start but ok after
9am tee time, even with a starter they were already a group late and we teed off around 9:!5 instead. Pace after that wasn't terrible, total round was 4.5 hours on a Sunday but we never really had to wait for any shot and nobody was pushing behind us, just a late start.
Greens rolled pretty nicely, rest of course pretty good shape for a busy public course. Never hit a bunker so no comment on those.
Fun track, nice challenge without anything crazy or unfair.
Great time, great people
This was my first time playing this course, and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the course and the people. Looking forward to playing it again.
Awesome course
Enjoyed the game. Course is challenging but I totally enjoyed it. Course is in great shape. Go try it out.
Good shape
This course is always in good condition. Greens are great, fairways and tee boxes actually have grass. Enjoy playing here.
Nice surprise
After playing other courses in the RVA it was nice to play on fairways with grass and almost perfect greens. Staff is amazing. Nicest carts you will see. Nice touch with coolers throughout the course with free bottles of water.
Ill be b ack soon. If you a re on the fence about playing here do it
Fun Course. Challenging without crazy length
Had a great time playing Providence for the first time. It's a little on the shorter side but makes up for it with course design. No two holes felt the same. Greens were incredibly consistent and all in good shape. Would definitely play again.

We traveled in from RI to the Richmond area for some Golf & Music. We spotted Providence GC on GN, and thought we had to play this place. What a pleasant surprise to find such a fun course. Jack in the pro shop was a great ambassador, and formerly from RI.
Enjoy!
