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.

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.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Providence Golf Club!
Good local public course
Greens were in good shape, rained two days prior and the and the course was very playable.
Hello, u1367903. Thank you for visiting us at Providence Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Always a great round
Snuck in before a tournament and was treated to perfectly rolled greens and difficult pins. Pace of play was perfect (nobody there).
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Providence Golf Club.
Disappointing
Have been few times prior, pace of olay always an issue with 10 minute separation of tee times, course stacks up fast. Played behind 4some entire 18, front nine they had groups infront of them, no issues with not playing through there. Back nine course was open infront and still didn't let us playthrough, no ranger on site to enforce. Ended up not finishing 18 as result of being held up 5-10 minutes on each tee box.
Greens were sanded, which normally not a bad thing but there was enough sand people were drawing pictures on the greens and some areas had sand standing 1/2 inch. No prior notice of condition, or reduce green fees to make up for guaranteed 2 putts at best.
Would not recommend based on current conditions, could be a good venue if they spread out tee times and properly maintained course conditions.
We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the pace of play and course conditions, and understand your frustration with not being informed about the greens. Thank you for your valuable feedback; we are committed to improving the experience.
They did not mention that greens were just aerated and over sanded and sanded again. It was like putting on a beach. Fairways were very wet. Pace of play was very slow.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, rsherril1. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Providence Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Decent course for the price
Overall a good course just bad day to go as the off course amenities
It’s ok!
I will give it try in season to really have a proper review of course conditions. Although even in winter conditions ground maintenance can still be done. Practice area needs to be renovated!
Overall this course has a ton of potential that is being under utilized!
Nice Course, pricey for my budget
Over all a nice 18 hole course. For the price they charge, I would of hoped less leaves were on the fairway. It is winter time I understand, I wish they could reduce their green fees..
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the leaves on the fairway during winter time. We appreciate your review and will take your comments into consideration.

Hi, u314161775299. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Providence Golf Club!
Nice public course to play
Pretty decent layout. Some demanding and challenging holes. And some pretty easy. Greens were good, just needed some help - ball marks not being repaired which isn’t their fault.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any issues you encountered with the greens. We will work on addressing these concerns to ensure a better experience for future visits.
