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.

Better for the Low Handicappers

While I shot a 77 (6 handicap), it was too hard for my wife (30 handicap). She could not carry the marsh in many instances.

I believed the course is proud of their price and was overpriced by $15.

Better signage to hole 10 would be helpful. Missed 10 and 11 - my fault but better signage would’ve been helpful.

Range Balls?

I enjoy playing this course. It's fairly priced and in decent shape.

My issue is probably with GolfNow more than the course. I paid ahead of time using the app and paid for a bucket of range balls to use for warm-up. When we arrived, it was suggested we get out ahead of a team event happening in front of us that would slow our play, so we took their advice and went straight to the first tee. When we asked about a credit or refund for the bucket of range balls we were told we had to take that up with GolfNow, the course wouldn't do that. GOOD LUCK getting Golf Now on the line.

Slow Sunday golf

Course in good condition but pretty slow and we waited on every hole for 5-10 minutes to tee off. No cart girl either so we were thirsty when it started heating up.

A little expensive to play ($70) buts that’s golf nowadays.

Hidden gem

New to the area and really hadn’t heard anything about this course but saw it on Golfnow and gave it a try. Well worth the discount rate. Scenic and challenging layout and good middle of summer condition. Fun to play and pleasant staff.
