Providence Club
About
Conveniently situated between Athens and Lawrenceville, the Providence Club has a scenic location stretching right along the Appalachee River that makes it feel much more like a getaway. The golf course has been considered one of northeast Georgia's best since opening in 1998. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain, incorporating elevated tees and uneven lies. The greens often feature slopes and undulations but they are fair and they roll true. They are also known for being excellently maintained. Mature trees frame many of the holes and there are several strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. Water doesn't come into play too often but the elevation changes will provide plenty of challenges. The golf course is player friendly enough to accommodate a wide range of skill levels with a few tricky holes to keep the round interesting.

Some of the greens were in terrible shape
Was very diissapointed in the greens. Last year they were terrific.
Thanks for your feedback, and we will use this to make improvements to the course. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Providence Golf Club
Had a Great Time, with 3 Friends, playing the Course!! Despite the Greens being Aeriorated we still had a Great Time! Would recommend this Golf Course to anyone!!
Thank you so much for your recommendation!
The Providence Club
I've played this course several times over the years and have always enjoyed it. The staff is generally friendly, and we are usually able to go without being paired with anyone else. Pace of play is usually great- this time we had no one in front or behind us and were able to play at our own pace, which is nice. I'm hesitant to give it a good review, as selfishly I don't want others playing here! Seriously, to me it is well worth the money.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and we're glad to see you love visiting us! We hope to welcome you back again very soon!

Great staff and members
Enjoyed playing with the group I was in on a recommendation from the staff on hand. I will be returning as a regular at this course.
Wow, we cannot wait to have you as a regular!
Open earlier
Had a 7:10 am tee time. Wanted to hit balls but pro shop didn’t open until 6:50 am.
Thanks for your comment, and we hope you'll come back again soon.
Thanks so much for your 4 star rating!
Very playable
This is one of the few courses not overwhelmed with players and the staff are very accommodating. Practice green has been ravaged by disease but the coarse greens are good with numbers 1and 12 a little rough. Fairways are very good and tees are OK. A good course that looks easy but can be tricky if not careful.
Thanks for the honest feedback! We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Thanks so much for the 5 stars!
As described by other reviews
I read other reviews of this course before going out last Friday for the first time, and they were accurate. The fairways and greens have likely not been watered this season.
The fairways play like concrete and it was not uncommon to get a 10ft+ bounce off the drive. Tee boxes were hard as rock and almost impossible to drive a long tee into, it took me multiple attempts to tee a ball up. The greens were okay and the only thing it seems they water. But even those were incredibly patchy on some holes.
Lastly, the folks working in the pro shop were hardly friendly, especially given that I was up at 8am on a Friday to play their course. This course desperately needs some more investment. It is hardly worth the hot deal price and will likely end up like Pine Hills if more care isn't put into the course.
Thank you for your honest feedback, and we hope you'll give us another try again in the future.
Thank you so much for your rating. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Greens need work
The greens were very uneven and had huge patches of bare ground.
We appreciate your honest feedback, and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Thank you for your 4 stars!
Greens in really bad shape
Unsatisfied with greens being so terrible. I dont understand why they cant just list or tell people the greens are bad. Be honest for crying out loud. Price it cheaper and let your customers know. Then the choice is ours. If they call it "greens fees" then people shouldn't pay anything. Greens were bad and that's being nice. Now the rest of the course was nice. Its gonna be a long time for those greens to grow. Maybe see ya in a year or two providence
Hello, lickliter. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will use this to make improvements.
Good value. Friendly staff.
Overall course was in good to average condition. Greens were in average condition. Green fees was a good value.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and rating!
Great Layout
Greens need to be replaced, they are not coming back. Rob
