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.

Good Course/ Greens Need To Heal

I'm not sure when the greens were last aerated but I think they need at least another 10 days to properly heal. The greens are still playable but don't expect to make a bunch of putts right now. The rest of the course is in good shape. This course is pretty short and very playable for the average player. For longer hitters all the par 5's are reachable in 2 and a few of the par 4's are reachable which is fun. The tips are around 6600 and the blue tees are around 6000.

Horrible experience

I guess checking the box of aeration on golf now just slipped someone's mind. I drove over an hour to get there to find the greens looking like a sand trap. And the groups in front of me (2 foursomes that thought they had to use 3 balls off every tee box and film everything ) never had the courtesy to let me pass. I'm sure this place is a good golf course, just never had anyone out to regulate pace of play. Sad sad sad

This was a pleasure!

Although I didn't play particularly well this day, I really enjoyed this course and look forward to my return.
Greens were recently punched and sanded so putting wasn't top notch, but the fairways and overall facility were!
Very appealing to the eye, this course boasts beautiful landscape over rolling hills. A few challenging doglegs are wrapped into what I would call a very enjoyable, stress-free course.

Aerated Greens

The aeration alert on GolfNow is no bluff...I never asked when they had been punched, but my guess is right after the July 4th weekend...Still a substantial amount of sand on the greens which made for bumpy putting conditions...Otherwise, tee boxes (w/ the exception of the 4th hole tips tees), fairways, and rough in great condition...For a $25 or $30 price point--Providence is definitely a good idea for a round of golf

Pin placement

This was the second time playing here. Love the layout. Greens are good, and decently fast. Here's where I have a problem. Starting on the 4th hole in, almost every pin position save a few were on almost impossible ridges and slopes. I'm a 6 handicap and hit plenty of quality shots that left many many hard 2 putts and no way to get it within a decent proximity to the hole. I don't expect every hole location to be in the middle of a dance floor, but it got ridiculous. Try to remember semi fairness of pins in relation to your green speeds.

Sandy greens well worn

I played the course with a friend and this was his first visit to Providence. I had not been there for a few years.
The first thing I noticed was that the carts were in poor condition and that the facility had declined as well.
The second thing was the guy that checked us in was less than friendly and dismissive. The greens had been sanded (had I know. I would have played elsewhere). He let me know that they did this with regularity and that they played fine...not.

The cart barely ran, the pins would not stay in the cups due to being full of sand and needlessly to say putting and chipping were near impossible.

It's sad I had always enjoyed playing Providence, I'm not sure I will play there again.

Open course that plays well for average golfers

Even though the course is open and well maintained doesn't mean it isn't a fun and challenging course. The greens are in perfect shape right now and are
Rolling fast! I'm a 8-9 handicap and shot a 74 here. Love it, just wish it was closer

Still a decent track but seems to be fading

Its hard to judge this course because I love this course so much but Im not impressed with the recent conditions surrounding the course. The fairways and greens are not bad all. Fairways were better than greens though. Greens were firm and quick but I couldn't not get them to bite much at all. Might have had something to do with the good bit of sand on the greens. Overall the course is in decent condition and its fun course. It has plenty of opportunities to score but can also kill you if you miss in the wrong places.

I had the biggest problem with the areas around the course. The club house is only slightly maintained on the inside and the outside is getting rough. Places like the gold tee boxes and the areas surrounding the tee boxes were lacking. I have been coming to this course for years and years and will continue to play there as long as it doesn't get worse. If the price was reduced to the low $40's after tax or even high $30s I would not have anything to say but the price was only slightly strong for the conditions. Go play this course but don't expect the over 4 star rating it currently has. But I will say that your not going to mad at the greens or fairways which is the most important part of the experience.

Not overly long, but good variety of holes. Par 3s especially challenging.

A good course with pretty slick greens. Solid par 3's and par 4's; a few of the par 4's are rather pedestrian. Was in decent condition overall. Has gotten a little pricey over the last couple of years, but if you can get a bargain on golfnow.com, go for it. Practice area not the best; must hit off mats and driving range too short to hit driver if you average 225+.

June 5th 2015 outing

Only negative comment's are there should be a better marshaling process out there. Our group of 4 and several behind ours were stuck behind a group of 3 very beginners. 5 hours is a bit long, we attempted to pass them at the turn but could not, suddenly they got into a hurry only to get to the 10th.
Not sure the persons name behind the counter but a grump would not describe his sad attitude, I felt like I was inconveniencing him, this is in no way the normal.
Overall totally great course yes I play here monthly and drive 50 minutes to get here so it is worth it.
Greens were fast and pure pick the line and you were going to be good. Miss the line and you could pay. Fairways and bunkers were top notch.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good fair well prices layout in Georgia.

Good local course

Very nice course. Super fast greens. If you play from the whites it pretty much driver and short iron. Couple of driveable holes. If you are local, worth the drive.
