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.

Overall great experience

Course is in great condition. Greens are very good but could be great if players would repair their ballmarks. I must have repaired 5-6 ball marks on every green! Not the fault of the golf course, just pure laziness and lack of respect for the game by those who don’t repair their ball marks!

Course in Good Shape

The course in good shape for the fall. The maintenance team does a great job in keeping the fairways free of fall leaves. I would recommend someone to blow greens between groups. Otherwise, great course for the value.

Decent course

Good course but did not clear the water off the greens. Very difficult to putt in the morning. No starter. Very confusing for someone who is not a member.

Providence Golf

My self and others were very surprised that nothing was said or posted that you had to play the front 9 twice .It was not until I had paid when I was told that I had to play the front 9 twice. When we made the turn, that is when the Disaster started. There was one foursome in the faraway, one foursome on the tee box, and one foursome waiting, and then it was us, needless to say, it was a SLOW, SLOW 9 holes, It was not fun.

The staff was great, the course was packed so the starter

The staff was great, rhe course was packed so the starter put twosome together to keep the flow moving that was good the fairways were in great shape the rough was a little to thick. The only problem I had was player's was not fixing their divot marks on the greens and that made them not be in the best shape.

Great pace of play

My group had a 1003AM teetime. We flew through the course, only waited on 1 teebox. Fairways are in great shape, greens are receptive and firm, which is rare in public golf in Richmond. I played at a discounted raye of $150 for 3 golfers.
