Providence Golf Club
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.

Great condition...a must play
The golf course was in spectacular condition considering the hot weather. Fairways green and greens fast. Great value and look forward to playing again. Staff and cart crew professional and courteous.
Great course!!
Played Providence for the first time today. I was pleased with the staff, carts, and facilities. The course was great!! Greens were firm and med speed. Great layout, the course has a great vibe and the staff does a good job with course conditions. My only negative on the course condition is the tee boxes were a little fuzzy. I don’t know what days they cut, but they were soft and a tab fuzzy. Other than that I thought the condition was great! Not a long golf course at 6500 from the tips. I’ll be back!
Top notch
Everything about this course was superb. Greens in great condition. Fairways well groomed and lush.
I have played here rarely in the past, but will definitely be back many more times.
Nice Friendly Course
A good layout with some very pretty holes. Well maintained with greens in excellent shape. Pace of play was fine. Good value for the money. Enjoyed the round and would play again.
Great shape and conditions
I was thoroughly impressed with the shape and condition of the course. I have play country clubs, pga courses and the dumps down the street and the condition of this course held their own with the best of them, especially for the price. I got an amazing deal online but even without, it would have been a stellar deal compared to some of other courses out there. Only comment is I wish they would have directed me to where the 1st was and if I was paired up with anyone.
Good course, fast greens, wish it was a few bucks less
I hadn’t played the course in years but I was really pleasantly surprised by the course conditions. The greens were in great shape AND FAST, and the rest of the course was well appointed too. I will def play again, but as mentioned in the title I wish their rates were a little lower.
Not bad...
I was actually a little disappointed in this course because I had heard it was as good as Magnolia green and Royal New Kent, but it's not. I did have a good day though because it was a beautiful landscape!
Flags on greens
I love the layout. Doglegs left and right. Tee boxes meet all skill players needs. If you like shots over water even after a great tee shot, you got it. One thing this course could do is show distance to hazards, ie. small creeks that run across the fairways and not knowing they were there, I incurred penalty strokes do to a good dtive. The last item is the sponges around the pin flags. A cup is a little over 4 inches, so WHY put a 2 3/8 inch sponge around the flag stick at the bottom? I had 6 putts that went over the hole but missed the sponge. Put a 4 inch sponge to hit if your goal is to protect players from getting the virus. Nice idea, but very frustrating, indeed.
Hat
Fast greens bare fairways
Greens were pretty smooth and quite fast and hard to judge. Too many unrepaired ball marks. The sand traps could definitely use some attention. The fairways were kind of bare considering the rain and nice weather we have had. Pace of play slowed down a lot on the back 9. I still don't think I have ever hit from the grass on the range.
