Providence Golf Club

All staff from start to finish were very friendly, helpful, polite and courteous. Bit of a slow start waiting for carts to be returned but then once under way the Tee boxes were level and well grassed. Fairways were well kept, as were bunkers, and the greens were smooth. The speed of the greens were great 10- 10.5 on the Stimp metre and rolled true. Course layout was very good with some risk/reward holes keeping it interesting. There are 2 odd Tee shots on holes 10 and 14, requiring big draws (and I'm a draw hitter) but otherwise very fair. Unfortunately, for a private function closing the Clubhouse at 4pm resulted in no restrooms being available at the end of the round. Would definitely play here for the money over the Reunion - Nicklaus course for more than twice the cost (actually at the same cost I'd still play here first).

Good course and good greens. Tee boxes terrible because they just got over-seeded and therefore only a small spot to tee off from. But the worst was pace of play. We teed off 30min behind our scheduled tee off time and the round took 4:45min. So overall it took 5:15m to play the round. That is stupid slow!

Over booked tee time changed twice after check in. No carts until 5 mins before tee time. Staff Mass confusion. Round 5:30 hour waited on every hole.

Kitchen / Bar closed after 4:00

The cart lady was a plus.

Course was in good condition, fairways green for Florida winter golf soft to soggy role out, greens had a good role.

Paired up with some Good Guys had a blast playing with them. Will never break my no weekend golf rule again.

Today was an off day for the course. We played in the afternoon on a weekend.

We have played here a couple times before,earlier in the day and it was 4-5 star rating.

Today was a clash of multiple things that brought down its normal rating.

We booked our tee time at 12:48pm, but when we arrived we were told we were playing at 1:12pm with no explanation. The course was ok but there are far better courses around for less money. We waited on every shot from the first hole - the GPS told us we were 45 mins behind schedule on 16th tee, but we hadn’t seen a ranger all day. We asked the drinks cart lady if there was a ranger around and she said she didn’t know - no offer to find out. We ended up having a 5 hour round. There should be marshalling to speed up play, no point having a cart indicating you are going slowly if no one is there to monitor it.

This is such a fun layout course to play. The course conditions are usually in good shape. There are several areas they need to work on the drainage. The main issue is the management of the tee times we had an 11:20 tee time booked,. We got there early to warm up and be ready to go off. We didn’t tee off until after 12:00 because they were so backed up. We waited on every single hole to play. We almost didn’t get done before the sun went down. We were all really disappointed in the management of tee times and pace of play. I understand courses want to maximize as many tee times as possible, but it was too much.

Had to pay the full 18-hole rate when the tee time was made. When we got there, we were told they were running behind and we would have no chance of finishing 18 holes. No ranger,

12 holes would be the max. After a 3-hour front nine, we quit. Club would not issue a raincheck because the time was secured through Golf Now and they (the club) receives $0.

All and all just a very average track as far as the layout and course conditions go. Pace of play was just ok. Back nine got pretty slow as the winds picked up. I'd rate the course at about a 6 out of 10. On the fence as to whether or not I'd play Providence again...

Staff was amazing, course layout is great. Slow play that comes with the territory of weekend golf during winter in Florida so that was somewhat expected. Greens rolled fantastic, turf conditions overall just a bit thin. With some TLC and a grow in for spring/summer this place could be special.
