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.

Providence Golf
My self and others were very surprised that nothing was said or posted that you had to play the front 9 twice .It was not until I had paid when I was told that I had to play the front 9 twice. When we made the turn, that is when the Disaster started. There was one foursome in the faraway, one foursome on the tee box, and one foursome waiting, and then it was us, needless to say, it was a SLOW, SLOW 9 holes, It was not fun.
Many challenging holes
Course always in nice shape with many challenging holes
The staff was great, the course was packed so the starter
The staff was great, rhe course was packed so the starter put twosome together to keep the flow moving that was good the fairways were in great shape the rough was a little to thick. The only problem I had was player's was not fixing their divot marks on the greens and that made them not be in the best shape.
Great pace of play
My group had a 1003AM teetime. We flew through the course, only waited on 1 teebox. Fairways are in great shape, greens are receptive and firm, which is rare in public golf in Richmond. I played at a discounted raye of $150 for 3 golfers.
Awesome course
Overall had a awesome time and the course was in great shape greens rolled true, fairways was in good shape.
Overall nice round
For the lack of rain we’ve had, the course was nice and green. Multiple greens had a lot of divots/holes and the type of grass in the fringe and around the greens was inconsistent. But overall still a quality course
Great Course
Greens a little slow. But other than that great course. Shorter than I’m used to but not easy. Will play again
Forgiving course
This is my local course. Gorgeous weather and super friendly staff. Hot dog at the turn is a beauty!! Front 9 and back 9 are two different courses really, with the back 9 offering more challenging shots with a few blind shots and challenging approach shots.
On a side note, I paid for 4 players, but only two played due to a family emergency. How can I get a refund/credit for the 2 that didn’t play?
Immaculate fairways
One of the best maintained courses I’ve ever played. Great value for your money. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to play in the Richmond area. First time playing while visiting family and I will definitely be back.
Course in great shape
Course was in shape even with all the rain we had during the day. Only issue was the cart only went when it wanted to! Another group was having issues with their cart also.
Gotta improve the pace of play. A single shouldn’t be behind 2 groups of 4 on a Thursday. Have folks tee off the back if need be, or just have an actual starter
Great conditions
The course was in great shape. Fairways were gorgeous. Only drawback is that too few players fix their ball marks on the greens. Bunkers were packed dirt instead of sand.
Pro shop, club house is very basic.
