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.

Good value for money

Overall, a fantastic experience. While the course might be considered short, it was perfect for my game as I don't hit the ball as far as I used to. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall condition of the course was very good.

Challenging greens

Course is in great shape. For only 12 holes, you still get your money’s worth.

Greens were challenging.

A bit ragged

Carts have seen better days, very mushy ride and windshield was falling off. Rain cover magnet gone and cover kept coming down in clubs. The course was pretty ragged all over. Lots of bare areas, dirt, gravel, unkempt overall. Greens were fairly nice but slow and holes were popped up, not flattened after hole cutting. Range on the mats. I have played this course here and there for over 15 years and I don’t remember ever being on the grass range area. Fairways and bunkers were in decent shape. Overall not bad but not a destination course by far.

Fun Course & Great Staff

I've been playing here for over 10 years. It's a fun course just south of Richmond, Va. It has VERY competitive rates, which makes it a go to for my weekly golf outing.

The course allows you to hit every shot in your bag, which is not always the case for courses on this area.

Also - The staff is AWESOME. Big shout out to Andrew for doing a great job.
