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.

Do everything you can to avoid the greenside bunker on the par-4 7th. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 03/11/2020
Nice fairways, greens and fringe.
Fairways, greens and fringe were all in very good shape; the greens were a little slow on this day; probably had been watered well overnight. New carts ran smoothly most of the time., but the geo-fencing associated with where the carts will and won't run still needs some extensive tweaking, plus there should be better signage around the course as to where you can and cannot run the carts. There are some really quirky places where the carts just die and then start beeping. We hit a couple of places where we had to run in reverse for close to 100 yards to get back to an "operational" location.
Carty Battery died
I understand that they are about replace all of their golf carts, which is a good thing, since my cart died between holes 7 and 8. Fairways and greens are in good shape.; the rough is mostly tree roots and hard baked clay.
Tough course - well designed
Really enjoyed this course and the conditions and hole layouts were very nice.
Great layout and condition
First time playing at this course. Very well maintained and excellent pace and condition.
It is well worth the price you pay for it.
I have never seen big fans blowing air on some of the greens. This course had few big fans. I would definitely go back there again.
Pleasantly surprised
Great course, very well maintained. Very nice greens too. Free Water on ice nice for golfers as well
Great track
Old school layout. As well manicured as any of the nice courses in the area.
Go. Play.
Before I melted
I played very well for 5 holes on this blisteringly hot and muggy day, but then when we caught the group in front of us and started to wait in the sun my game began to melt in the heat.
Excellent Course for midweek afternoon play
Can’t beat the course for the money. I popped in after making a reservation a few days before. Excellent course, excellent staff.
Good Times!
Hadn’t played the course in a bit.
Found the course in great shape. Busy weekend volumes but the pace overall was good.
Had a slow group playing the back tees in front of us but they only played the front 9.
Pace moved steady after that.
Staff was very friendly.
Best Value
Love this course. The most enjoyable course I’ve played in a while. Brought friends this time and they fell in love with it too!
