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.

Do everything you can to avoid the greenside bunker on the par-4 7th. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 03/11/2020
One of the best courses I’ve played
Greens were perfect and the course was in amazing shape. First time playing and will def be back.
Why do you care if I’m wearing a plain navy shirt
I have always golfed in a classic vuori plain t shirt I have several different colors there nice fitting and aren’t cheap nore look cheap. I walk in with golf khakis and a plain navy shirt and am not allowed to play the Tee time I booked and can’t because some old person who already made me wait 12 minutes in like because he can’t figure out how to use a computer doesn’t want me to play his 30 DOLLAR FOR 9 HOLES course??
Nice condition
Overall the course was in good shape. Fairways and greens were good. Some areas around the greens were in rough shape with chunks missing out of the rough and tons of little plugs from aerating
Good fairways Poor greens
Paid $52 thru TeeOff to play Providence cuz our normal course Birkdale is in such bad condition and had heard that providence was in good shape overall. Boy was the info off base. The greens are in unputtable shape due to recent aeration AND the encroachment of crabgrass or large areas of no or dead grass. Since greens are where about half of a golfers strokes are taken, if they’re in such bad shape it really ruins the round. If I were to sell the course something that is not in it’s acceptable condition , they would surely want a discount or replacement. It should work both ways!
Aerified greens Full Price
I was charged $75 for unputtable greens, with the bunkers filled with the aerified plugs rendering them unplayable. EverY green was also surrounded by the plugs so if you were short you had to chip through 6 inches if plugs..
WILL NOT RETURN THIS YEAR...
SHAMEFUL.
Solid course
Played on a really nice Sunday day here with two other guys.
Overall the course was in pretty great shape. A couple of the greens were beat to death from people not fixing divots.
Course is pretty open and not many balls were lost today.
Would return for another round!
