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.

First Time Playing
The tee boxes and greens are in need of significant improvements. The fairways weren’t bad given the amount of rain experienced over the previous 7-10 days. The course drains relatively well. There were some areas that still had a significant amount of saturation and not really playable. The cart paths were in most cases in good conditions but in many places the clay/mud runoff was still present thus forcing you to drive off the path and ruin the adjacent area with cart traffic. The beverage cart girl came around once during the entire round and didn’t have any hard liquor (no liquor license) only had beer and a few power axes and nothing more, she had three snacks to offer out of a small Tupperware box and nothing more. The water coolers were all empty except one. I don’t think I’d drive an hour to play this course again. It’s definitely in need of some real maintenance and updates and as long as folks continue to pay and play it the management and owners won’t see the value in making any improvements.
Glorious
Sooo much better than the last time I played there a couple years ago! LOVE the fairway grass!
Greens
Greens are punched and sanded heavily. Almost unputable
Greens fuzzy and bald
Shorter course, interesting layout, couple of fun drivable holes, but the greens are frankly in awful shape. Every green had dead area and were very slow. Might be because of the hot weather and no rain, but I expected more out of a $75 round.
Marshal was also much more interested in telling me I parked my cart in the wrong place instead of getting the twosome in a cart caught back up after being 2 holes behind.
Great Course
Course was in great shape. Staff is always friendly. Great place to play golf.
Throughly Enjoyable
I had a great time on the course today. Weather was perfect. I played in the afternoon and there was no one behind me to push me along. One of the most enjoyable golf outings I have had.
