Providence Golf Club
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.

Nice public course to play
Pretty decent layout. Some demanding and challenging holes. And some pretty easy. Greens were good, just needed some help - ball marks not being repaired which isn’t their fault.
Hi, u000005182704. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Providence Golf Club!
Make sure you’re getting the ball in the air off the tee
First time playing this course. Played the blue tees, and was surprised by some of the forced carries required off the tee. #8 and 9 are two back to back holes where you have to get it in the air for 150-160 yards or you’re in the junk. Course was in decent shape for the most part, although some fairways were pretty beat up. The group in front of us was very slow so it was a 4.5 hour round. Not my favorite public course in the Richmond area but I’d go back.
Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We appreciate your feedback regarding the forced carries on holes #8 and 9, as well as the condition of some fairways. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the slow pace of play, and we hope to provide a better experience for you on your next visit.
Fun course but...
I didn't play well but had fun time anyway. The course is taken care of very well. It has a variety of holes. Some are wide open and easy, others are more of a challenge. Lover the course. The issue I had was when I booked online with GOLF NOW, the price was $93 for 2 people pay 5 now and $88 when you get to the course. Come time to pay and they guy at the course tells me $56 each ($112 total) He tells me to get the cheaper price you have to pay golfnow, online at the time of booking, Which I would be fine with except golfnow said pay at the course, it didn't give an option to pay online... We each pay the $56 but then realize that their twilight price of $44 starts at 1 PM... our tee time was for 1:03pm.. so we got our refunds then went and had a great time...
Course in rough shape. Filled with hackers.
Paided online to play 18, then told carts needed to be in at a 5:40, course loaded with twosome and singles unpaired playing from opposite fairways. Not letting better faster players playing from proper tee boxes play through! Making it impossible to play full eighteen. Fairways and tee boxes in rough shape. Bunkers filled with play sand. This course was the same price as nicer courses in the area.
Sloppy day at Providence
Do not play this course after a rain. Three days after a small rain event it was paths only and sloppy wet. Plenty of other courses in town drain better and have better greens. Booked a time on line and prepaid and the pro shop still tried to charge one of my group. People just show up with no tee time and they cram them in for 9 holes. Not worth the rack rate and the locals take forever to play.
Nice Track!
1st time playing this course, pleasantly surprised. While it was cart path only due to heavy rains the prior day, course was still in decent condition. Greens were very good considering the time of year. Looking forward to playing next year during warm weather when the course is green.
Good walk in the park
Had a good time playing wish my score was better but not the courses fault. Greens were in good shape and the ball rolled true even though the leaves. Maybe more forced carries over environmentally sensitive areas than I would prefer so if you have trouble getting the ball in the air maybe hit 1 more club then normal. Overall nice course with a decent practice area and driving range. Good rates for seniors too.
Course in Good Shape
The course in good shape for the fall. The maintenance team does a great job in keeping the fairways free of fall leaves. I would recommend someone to blow greens between groups. Otherwise, great course for the value.
Overall great experience
Course is in great condition. Greens are very good but could be great if players would repair their ballmarks. I must have repaired 5-6 ball marks on every green! Not the fault of the golf course, just pure laziness and lack of respect for the game by those who don’t repair their ball marks!
Worth playing
Conditions were pretty good for the time of year. It was worth playing.
Very Nice
Best / Fastest greens I’ve ever played. Really fun course
Decent course
Good course but did not clear the water off the greens. Very difficult to putt in the morning. No starter. Very confusing for someone who is not a member.
