Providence Club

The fairways were fast, and the first cut was fairly thick. The greens were lighting fast. A fairly challenging course. Good pace of play, friendly staff and beautiful weather made for a great round of golf,

I had been wanting to try this course for a while and really enjoyed it. The weather was not great, but the course was in good shape and I really enjoyed the layout.

First the bad: The driving range is small, mats only (at least on this day - a Saturday), no drivers allowed (250 max distance), and the range balls average or below average, plus. they were ALL GONE. Staff tried to accommodate by throwing together two mostly-full "small" buckets out of the 3 purchased. Nobody seemed to think this fell short of what should have occurred. Greens were not slow, but definitely not fast either. They seemed to roll true most of the time but occasionally had some hops and wobbles in putts due to what appeared to be sports still recovering from the last aeration.

The good: The pace of play was very good for a Saturday - our 4-some played in 4 hours 10 minutes. It was not until the last couple of holes where we had to wait just a minute on the group ahead of us. That is a nice pace for a weekend on an Atlanta-area course. Fairways were in pretty good shape - occasional spots of thin grass but nothing too bad. Only hit one bunker but the sand was good and all the traps I saw seemed to be well cared for. Overall it was a good experience. A little more time for the greens to heal and the fairways grass to fill in and the course will be in perfect shape.

Highly rated and recommended. Apparently the players who play this course only play Winder and Cedar Lake. I have had better lies in my back yard, than in the middle of this course's fairway. Yardage markers were non-existent, hidden, or incorrect. If you are going to color coordinate flags with positioning on the green, be consistent.

The course was in good shape. Par for the course. Today's conversation centered around the epic poor business model employed by Golfnow. We are a group of loyal users of the program but are frankly getting tired of Golfnow's poor treatment of its existing members. The recent policy change requiring a reservation three days in advance to use a promo code might be the last straw. Golfnow fails to grasp that a rewards program should foster good will and actually reward members as opposed to trying to grow its bottom line.

Very impressed with this course. Friendly staff, course in good condition, good rate of play. Course is challenging but very doable for the average golfer. Definitely one of my new favorites.

Great experience, especially for the money. The course is set up well and the staff is excellent. The playing conditions were fantastic.

Providence Club has no distinguishing attributes. The layout is good with greens in slightly above average condition. Other aspects of the course and club are slightly below average. Service level at this golf club is below average. We enjoyed our round and I would have considered it a reasonable value at $35.00. Note: I rate golf courses on an absolute scale using the following guidelines:

5 stars - Top tier golf course, all amenities, outstanding service/management and excellent course maintenance.

4 stars - Good to great course layout, complete club experience (full practice facilities, locker room, grill, etc...), efficient service/management, very good course maintenance.

3 stars - Good course layout, average practice facilities, average service/management, average course maintenance. No pace of play problems.

2 stars - Nothing special, but an enjoyable course to play. Only minor issues with pace of play.

1 star - Not worth the effort or serious pace of play issues. I take pace of play very seriously.

A 5-hour round is a minimum two-star reduction.

Fairways recently punched so they appear to be letting everything grow out including tee boxes. Cart paths are rough. Greens just okay and not consistent. There are many better choices in the NE area.

great course worth the drive. Recommend this to anyone.

We did unfortunately get behind the men's group they are rather slow this was a 5 hour round which should not happen however I will come back but will make a better effort to be in front of slow play.

First time I played this course in 10 years. Course in good shape (winter course). I had always rated this course as one of my favorites, but I have moved my residence and it is not as convenient as it was 10 years ago. I do enjoy this course. Nice layout.

I fully enjoy playing this course. It had challenges around every hole, whether it is water elevation, length, or undulating greens. The greens however could use a little attention. It was hard to get a true roll, without the ball hopping along the way causing it to veer off line. Overall, I love the course and layout, and will play here again and again.
