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.

Do everything you can to avoid the greenside bunker on the par-4 7th. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 03/11/2020
Soft and Scenic
This is a very scenic course, with lots of elevation changes and doglegs (some of them tricky if you don't know exactly where to leave it). It was very soft the day I played and hadn't been mowed in a bit so though grass was long everywhere - rough was tough, fairways had no roll at all and even long irons virtually plugged in the greens. When it drys out it will be more fun. It's not long, only 6,600 from the back tees and the greens are quite large with really defined areas to hit in. You can walk it, as I did, if you are so inclined. Probably not a great course for the beginner as there are quite a number of forced carries over marshland from the tees and in front of the greens on the par 5's. Would play it again.
Best Value in Richmond
From top to bottom, the course was in great shape. The greens and fairways were in amazing shape for the time of year (very green, no brown spots). The course is extremely playable and challenging for golfers of all levels.
A well maintained and fun course to play
Providence is always well groomed and green. The staff is friendly and the rates are fair (maybe slightly over-priced). The course itself offers an interesting and fun front nine with a good mix of short and long holes. The back nine, while still a lot of fun doesn't offer quite as much as the front. The holes are a bit more vanilla. Overall, though I do love this course and play it all the time. I'm always please with how well the grounds crew keeps things maintained. They always have water out on the course and also have a port-o-john between 5 and 6. There are some houses on a few holes but they do not come into play.
