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.

Providence Golf Club
Had a Great time playing with my Brother. We played 18 Holes. Course with in great shape and the Green were fantastic.
Beautiful course
Every hole was fun and challenging. Well kept, Thanks you course Superintendent! ! )&
Worth it on all levels
The greens were true and semi-fast and the course was in great shape considering the heavy rains the night before. The layout is great,lots of elevation changes . You should have a great round and decent score here. If not the beers are just $2:50. If your near by this course play it.
Honest review
Fun course to play for all levels. While not long overall, can play longer than scorecard yardage from gold tees. Champions Bermuda greens are kept in fairly good condition. Somewhat quick, but not overly fast. Lots of undulations! Shots can be played "down" in both fairways and rough. However, the rough is not really a penalty. Not true for the bunkers though. These are some of the WORST BUNKERS I have ever played. Entirely too much sand in them. Be prepared for plugged lies! Luckily, there are not many bunkers to deal with. Small driving range is good for warming up only, not for working on your game. And finally, the annual membership packages are the best value in the area!
HOWEVER, be prepared for less than stellar service from the staff. The pro shop staff seems to do an adequate job. And the pro shop is stocked typical of a public course in the area. Unfortunately, there appears to be little communication between the pro shop and the starter and marshal/ranger. In fact, the starters and marshals never seem to be the same ones day to day. And, they seem more interested in playing free golf than attending to the needs of the golfing customers. Seems like little thought is given to the pairings of groups and pace of play. As for the grill, if you want a decent burger and fries, or a chicken salad sandwich, etc., make certain you ask that it be made fresh, not the ones made in advance and sitting under the warmer. That is if you can find someone working the grill area. They seem to be busy in the back area and have difficulty doing both tasks, that is taking orders and cooking.
Overall though, and for the course conditions and the membership rates alone, I recommend this course to anyone in the area.
Perfect Day for Golf
I thought the greens were in excellent shape especially for the time of year. They rolled true however were somewhat difficult due to the speed of the green. You didn't want to miss the cup. The only downside of the day was having to wait for numerous holes while maintenance personnel was cutting the greens. He went green to green for the first seven holes directly in front of us.
Dormant conditions didn't bring down a great layout
Even though this tee to green Bermuda course was dormant, it did not diminish a wonderful layout that is the Providence Club. My friend and I enjoyed the course very much. Will definitely be returning during the summer to play this course again.
A perfect December day
A beautiful day in December with the weather in the high 60's. In spite of the brown fairways and roughs and the low sun this time of year limiting ball travel the day was near perfect. Course was well maintained, greens were fabulous. It was one of those Georgia days on the golf course that Yankees can only dream about.
A Hidden Gem
Played this course for the first time. It was in very good condition for late fall. The greens were interesting as they were like the top of a billiard table. Hard and FAST! They were playable but very challenging if you were above the hole.
Played 18 in 3 1/2 hours. Love that!
Would recommend for those looking to have a nice leisurely round without much fuss.
Fast true greens
Putting was fun, fast, true roll but hard to make puts.
Course, tee and fairways in good shape for late October
Play it!
I saw a poster say the greens were the best he's ever played...I wouldn't go that far, but you'll be hard pressed to find better greens @ this price which is why I go 5 stars for value.
Tees, fairways, bunkers were all in good shape....fun layout...just enough undulation on the greens for some tricky pin locations...below the hole is the rule of thumb here.
The only dislike about Providence is the range...mats appear to be permanently in play.
Great greens
Good layout with wide, beautifully manicured fairways. Challenging enough to make you think about the shots, but not overly difficult. Excellent greens. In fact, the best greens I've ever played on. Highly recommend this course.
Good Layout, great condition, great staff
We played today with our wives and this is a very enjoyable, playable golf course. Course is in excellent condition, with hard, fast greens that rolled true. The staff we met were friendly and helpful. All in all, an enjoyable day of golf.
Great course conditions
Fairways and greens in great condition, as always. Rough around greens is challenging for the weekend golfer.
Great course
Always a good place to play! Value and conditions excellent !
Waiting on greens to come in.
Love this course, however the new greens are 3 years old now and there still Hard as a rock.
Very enjoyable course
Great course and worth the trip though a little out of way. Fast greens take a minute to practice putt before round because it is surprisingly slick. Going back
course conditions
Fairways were great, course was in great shape, except greens still very sandy, love this course but very disappointed in greens after them being redone just a few years ago.
very nice day
The course was in very good condition and the staff was very considerate.
Nice course
Practice putting before going out. Greens are mowed close making them faster than all the other courses in the area.
great
Great condition well worth the money . staff is very helpful
