Providence Golf Club

Only played the front nine. Pro shop was letting people tee off early. I teed off early, let a group play through thinking they’d be quicker than me. I then sat on top of them every shot and had someone on top of me every shot who had someone on top of him every shot. I was sick of being stressed by being between a slow group and two people behind me so I left after nine.

This course needs a full time starter enforcing tee times and proper gapping between groups. They book at eight minutes between tee times.

Have been playing here for years always recommended to friends .

Yesterday played the starter was fantastic as always

Range balls $10 for maybe 25 balls

Course is in rough condition but for $39 I expected that

Every year we play course it gets worse condition wise but we love the layout some great holes

The bunker in front of #2 green is a farmers field it’s embarrassing

The course playability was fine greens good

We tee off at 2 moving along nicely we should finish

Then we start getting messages on screen course closing at 630 ??

Then Marshall comes out to tell us we have to have cart in by 615

So we only play 14 holes I am ok with that we got our moneys worth but what a small minded approach to a business

This course has so much potential just a shame that no one seems to care

The course layout was fun and challenging enough. When I arrived for my late afternoon tee time, I was told that Golfnow shouldn’t have tee times that late and that the cart would have to be back 45 minutes after I teed off. Greens were sandy but I would’ve liked a disclaimer or some notice prior to showing up to a course what time carts should be returned.

I played a day after the storm. Course was wet so cart path only. Even though it was wet the course was in great shape. Excellent lay-out and the staff is very friendly.

Providence is very close to home, and I play there when the rates are good. Yesterday was one of those days. I had been out of town most of the week, and Hurricane Helene passed by off the west coast during the week but my son said we hadn't gotten a lot of rain from it. This course has a tendency to get very soft with moderate rain, but...off I went. Nobody said anything when I checked in about restrictions, soon the first hole I started to drive out to my ball in the fairway, and the cart stopped and warned me to return to the cart path. I thought, maybe it was just that hole. For the rest of the 18 it was cart path only. I don't mind a little more walking, but it would be nice to know ahead of time.

Because it was also very hot and humid (heat index was over 100) there weren't many folks out. I played through one group on the ninth hole, and that was the only group I saw during my 2:30 round (I was a single). A good quick round is always nice...even with cart path only and the heat.

One thing needed here is either a composite White/Red course, or another set of tees. At sea level with no roll due to the moisture 6000 yards is a long course for me. But, the reds at only 5000 seemed too short. I ended up playing 8 holes from the red tees and 10 from the white for a course of about 5500 which worked pretty well under the circumstances. It would be nice to know what the slope and index of something like that was so you could count it for handicap.

Very picturesque.

Challenging but fair.

Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Course has new management and what a difference. Staff is more friendly and you can see the improvements coming along on the course
