As expected

The greens are excellent and the rest of course need work. Especially the traps.

What a difference 6-8 months made

My group played Birkdale about 6-8months ago and “swore” we wouldn’t play it again ever, because the conditions were so bad. Everything from the tees with no grass, to the fairways with more bald areas than Charles Barkley’s head, to the greens with so many unrepaired ball marks that every putt was an exercise in futility, it was a complete disaster.
Then a friend said he played there in April and things had really changed. So reluctantly we went to see for ourselves and was extremely surprised in how much better the conditions are now. Tee boxes with new sod, fairways with cut and trimmed grass and redone greens with (we believe) a different grass that holds up excellently to the wear and tear of the heavy play that Birkdale gets. Major KUDOS to the greens keeper and his/her staff for the effort in pulling a great layout like Birkdale from the craphole it had become to being one of the best in Richmond We will gladly put Birkdale at the top of the list of courses to play around Richmond.
The only complaint we have is that we played behind a foursome that must have all been absolute beginners that never heard of allowing much faster groups to play through. We waited on EVERY SINGLE SHOT for all 18 holes. A Marshall would have helped but alas none were around.

Lots of changes

Played Highlands today for first time in a few years and am surprised at how many changes have been done since last time.!! Brand new greens in wonderful Bermuda grass They’re perfect. Fairways are in great condition also and the paving of the cart path makes all come together as a great place to play.regardless of your score. I’d say The Highlands is the best conditioned public course in the entire Richmond area. If not, I really want to play the one(s)that are better.

My group drove the 50 miles to play kiskiack on a day the weathermen forecasted 77* and no rain. We had heavy mist and some rain for the first 6 holes but cleared up to even sunny skies on back nine. The course was very wet and played cart path only but the conditions were excellent. The greens were lightning fast and with the slopes, putting was extremely difficult (at least for me). Had 14 birdie putts and 3 whacked 7 times while making 3. Greens rolled true but FAST. Fairways are in great shape also. Only downside was the traps that needed raking. Seems the people in the traps didn’t use the rakes carried on the carts. So footprints were abundant. Lazy golfers must think someone else will rake the traps for THEM.
Overall I give them 5 stars !! Will come back soon -hopefully when it’s dry!

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!

Wet but great.

Played in very wet conditions and shots would plug in fairways but still had a great round -not score wise but fun wise. Grass conditions were surprisingly great from tees to fairways to greens. Haven’t played here in 10 years or so but will definitely come back real soon!!

Gone downhill fast

Got a deal on TeeOff and paid $36. On a Friday. Great!! But that’s where the fun ends. The greens are in terrible shape with sand on some and large areas of no grass on most. So between the grass loss and the hundreds of unfixed ball marks, putting is just a guess I don’t know how they could go so bad so fast but it’s bad enough that we won’t play there any more this year. They should pay us to play a course in such bad shape!

Condition is great

First time playing providence since January and was pleasantly surprised by the greens and fairways!! Very good to excellent grass and mow job. Greens are really smooth with good speed. Only criticism I have is to the golfers that play here and that is : Repair your divots on the fairways and your ball marks (and 1 other). It’ll help keep greens and fairways above average!! And RAKE THE TRAP THAT YOU JUST HIT FROM

Hot

We had a 11:48 tee time and was ready to go. At 11:40 the pro told us to wait till a threesome went in front. They were the 11:30 group but were late-they checked in at 11:42. Then it turns out they all were the slowest non golfers I have ever been behind. Obviously they didn’t know the basic golf etiquette and never waived us through. We waited EVERY SINGLE SHOT while there were 2-3 holes open in front of them. Took 4 3/4 hours RIDICULOUS
