About
Providence Golf Club in Richmond has a rich and unique history. The original location along the Pocoshock Creek closed in 1985 but the property and an adjacent parcel of land were then bought by a new development company. The additional land was used for six new holes while the original property now has longer and more spacious holes. The golf course then had another redesign in 2002 that was overseen by Virginia native Lester George, who is known for designing the highest ranked golf course in the state, Kinloch Golf Club. Providence G.C. wanders through a beautiful landscape of towering trees and wetlands. George utilized these natural features to create a number of risk-reward opportunities throughout the course. The golf course finishes with a risk-reward hole that is heavily guarded by both bunkers and a creek.

Fair public Course

Nice layout
No waits on tees with afternoon tee time. Very friendly staff. Very good, fair layout. Faiways in very good shape. Greens had a lot of tree residue though and required a lot of pre-putt maintenance.
Very satisfied, would certainly play again.

Course is almost 100 %
Greens came through the aerating great and the grass is coming up nicely. Always liked the setup, nice risk reward on most holes. I play solo a lot and everyone I’m paired with has been nice.

Need to communicate....
I've played this course before and it is enjoyable. Pulled up and noticed the putting green was sandy. Checked in at the clubhouse and was NOT told that they had aerated very recently. EVERY green had been aerated and was very sandy. I know they have to do this but at least put a notice out there. If you plan on playing Providence soon, I'd wait a couple weeks until the sand goes away.
Hidden Gem
This course was recommended by a friend and I couldn't agree more with his praise. The course was well balanced for difficulty, it was fun to play and I look forward to coming back in the future.
Cart Path Only
The course was a little wet from the rain over the weekend, so it was cart path only. Overall, the course was in great shape for this time of year. We were able to play in under 4 hours. Great little course.
Providence golf course
This is a good course that’s in really good condition for this time of year. The greens run a little on the fast side but run true. Only downside is two of the par 5 are difficult to go for in two, even if you hit a good drive one has tall trees blocking a direct second shot and 18 has a big natural waste area in front of a smallish green both require a hero shot. Even with that I enjoy playing here.
