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.

Hi, rjonesrva. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Providence Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Make sure you’re getting the ball in the air off the tee
First time playing this course. Played the blue tees, and was surprised by some of the forced carries required off the tee. #8 and 9 are two back to back holes where you have to get it in the air for 150-160 yards or you’re in the junk. Course was in decent shape for the most part, although some fairways were pretty beat up. The group in front of us was very slow so it was a 4.5 hour round. Not my favorite public course in the Richmond area but I’d go back.
Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We appreciate your feedback regarding the forced carries on holes #8 and 9, as well as the condition of some fairways. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the slow pace of play, and we hope to provide a better experience for you on your next visit.
Fair public Course
Some blind tee shots and hidden hazards. Nice greens. Fairways average. Lots of bare spots in the rough and some tees. Overall an average rating.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any negative experiences you may have had. We will take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our course.
Nice layout
No waits on tees with afternoon tee time. Very friendly staff. Very good, fair layout. Faiways in very good shape. Greens had a lot of tree residue though and required a lot of pre-putt maintenance.
Very satisfied, would certainly play again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the tree residue on the greens and will work on improving the maintenance in that area. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
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!
Course is almost 100 %
Greens came through the aerating great and the grass is coming up nicely. Always liked the setup, nice risk reward on most holes. I play solo a lot and everyone I’m paired with has been nice.

Need to communicate....
I've played this course before and it is enjoyable. Pulled up and noticed the putting green was sandy. Checked in at the clubhouse and was NOT told that they had aerated very recently. EVERY green had been aerated and was very sandy. I know they have to do this but at least put a notice out there. If you plan on playing Providence soon, I'd wait a couple weeks until the sand goes away.
Fun course but...
I didn't play well but had fun time anyway. The course is taken care of very well. It has a variety of holes. Some are wide open and easy, others are more of a challenge. Lover the course. The issue I had was when I booked online with GOLF NOW, the price was $93 for 2 people pay 5 now and $88 when you get to the course. Come time to pay and they guy at the course tells me $56 each ($112 total) He tells me to get the cheaper price you have to pay golfnow, online at the time of booking, Which I would be fine with except golfnow said pay at the course, it didn't give an option to pay online... We each pay the $56 but then realize that their twilight price of $44 starts at 1 PM... our tee time was for 1:03pm.. so we got our refunds then went and had a great time...
Hidden Gem
This course was recommended by a friend and I couldn't agree more with his praise. The course was well balanced for difficulty, it was fun to play and I look forward to coming back in the future.
Course in rough shape. Filled with hackers.
Paided online to play 18, then told carts needed to be in at a 5:40, course loaded with twosome and singles unpaired playing from opposite fairways. Not letting better faster players playing from proper tee boxes play through! Making it impossible to play full eighteen. Fairways and tee boxes in rough shape. Bunkers filled with play sand. This course was the same price as nicer courses in the area.
