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.

Nice course expensive
Course very good shape , little slow play. Expensive, have played numerous courses in area for much less and just as nice. Moderate challenge. Don't understand why driving range is always play from mats, especially with the beautiful summer we have had. Like courses can warm up on grass before play. Very nice putting green and separate chipping green .
Super fun course for any skill level
This course is great! Beautiful layout that requires every shot imaginable. Even the shorter holes can pose quite the challenge as the fairways can yield some pretty uneven lies (ball below/above feet etc.). Fun course for better players as most if not all par 5s can be reached in 2. But they will need to be 2 great shots! For beginners it is also really fun. I'm a low handicap but my friends never play golf and are nearing 30 and we all had a blast. The greens typically run a little slow but are always in great shape and roll true. Make sure you give those short ones a firm stroke and don't worry about it running out too far! Also make sure you check out this course if you are in the area.
Great Course! Friendly staff and atmosphere
June and the course is greened up well and is in prime shape. Challenging yet playable for all levels of player. Big difference in shots choices between depending on what tee boxes played. Something for everybody.
Excellent conditions
It is November, so all of the courses are getting that brown tinge to them. This course was fantastic. Challenges everywhere, hazards everywhere, and the greens were impossible to read. Just what we look for in a course.
Always in great shape
This is always one of the best maintained public courses in the area.
I always enjoy playing this course!
It is a great value now that they joined Golf Now!
Very nice course for beginners and experienced players.
This course is in great shape for early November. Its a challenging course but still somewhat forgiving and landscaped beautifully.

Great course, setup for all age groups and varying degrees of ability. Well marked for yardages with fairly flat puttable greens. Very enjoyable outing. Ken
very popular course...provides an excellent, enjoyable round
Course is very well maintained; greens and fairways are well above average for a popular course that receives lots of play. Rough is fair when not too high.
Very Nice Course
We played this course on a ride to Richmond. Loved this course. Lady friendly. Shot an 86 and I usually average in the low 90's. Really nice layout. We would definitely want to play this course again.
Course in excellent condition
Played with 3 other Golfnow users and had a great time. Course was in great shape. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to play in Richmond.
Very nice layout
This course was in great shape and no two holes were layed out the same. Different drives everytime. I really enjoyed this course. I will play this more and GolfNow is a great way to get your tee times !!
This course fits my game well.
Very nice course. Good for the golfers that are not real long hitters.
Great Layout and Fun and challenging Course
This is a course that I will play at least 8-10 times a season. Really enjoy the diverse and challenging Layout the course has to offer. My only concern would be the 4 times I've played there has been no Marshall riding through the course. Though only reason this would benefit myself and others would be to help maintain a nice easy continued pace of play. Three out of the four time my group found ourselves having to wait several minutes to tee off, but also waiting for the party to ahead to exit the green. I understand it is a busy course, but just having the presence of a Marshal stops players from hitting more than one ball each hole as well as what I like to call lollygagging or Bojangling . Beside that I recommend playing this course to every golfer I meet. Fun Course!!!
My favorite course in richmond (public)
Love this course ,Par fives give the average golfer a great chance for a birdie. fairways the best in area, greens can be great or average based on weather
great value-decent course
great value for the money. - aside from the guy watering the greens, while we were trying to play, the course was in great shape and you can't beat the price we paid. overall very pleased, and highly recommend.
Normally we would recommend, but not this time.
Took us well over 5 hours to play this short course. Far too many groups out on the course. The greens, typically quite playable, had not been cut for some time and were very slow and unpredictable. We've had plenty of rain which may explain why the greens were as rough as they were. Bunkers were in unusually poor shape as well. Many bunkers washed out with several feet of standing water in the bunker. The course needs less play and more TLC.
