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.

The greens are in terrible shape with thousands of old unrepaired ball marks among the encroachment of crabgrass and bare spots. They had been aerated and sanded recently and are horribly bumpy. I used to play here almost weekly a few years ago but since the greens are so bad now it’ll be a few years before I go back.

Course Layout
I played it Nov. 21 and the aeration must have taken hold because the greens were quite nice. Agreed, there are a FEW unrepaired ballmarks, thoughtless golfers, not alot or even that unusual, but certainly not the courses fault. I thought the greens were good, we have had rain following the aeration so I am guessing that the Greenskeepers plan has worked.
