excellent staff on the course. Fairways were in great shape but greens were a little scrubby, but did roll well. Bunkers were brick hard and in need of immediate attention. Nice layout and can be visually intimidating for first time players. overall a very good experience and worth the drive from VA Bch. Restaurant food was good. Nice quiet atmosphere and well appointed.
All that I will say is the people on this course are snobby… My group went golfing in honor of our dad who passed away. We are not avid golfers. We were made to feel like we were in the way. We understood that people want their moneys worth. But so did we.. was very upset that we were rushed the ENTIRE time and everyone around us were being rude. All they had to do was ask if they could play through, but instead they called and complained. Luckily it was a nice day and we tried to make the best of honoring our dad despite the cranky people. I will note that Nathan and Cooper - (unsure what their positions at the club are) were over and beyond understanding and that is uncommon for such young men. So thank you to them for being the only nice people we encountered for our entire visit to this club.
My group of four recently played this course, and unfortunately, our experience left us feeling unwelcome as visitors. Three of us were new to the course, but we made every effort to maintain a good pace of play. In fact, we were playing faster than the commonly accepted 4.5-hour round pace (approximately 15 minutes per hole) recommended by both this course and golf courses in general. Despite this, the group behind us repeatedly yelled at us and pressured us to play faster throughout the round. Their behavior was disruptive, unnecessary, and took away from what should have been an enjoyable day of golf. Based on their familiarity with the course, they appeared to be local members or residents who felt entitled to dictate the pace of play for visiting golfers. This was actually my second visit to the course. I experienced similar behavior during our first round, although it was much less blatant. Unfortunately, this second experience confirmed our impression that visitors are not always made to feel welcome here. To the course's credit, when we spoke with the marshal, Mike, he listened to our concerns and agreed that we were maintaining an appropriate pace. He came out to observe the situation, spoke directly with the group behind us, and later returned to apologize on their behalf. We greatly appreciated Mike's professionalism and his efforts to address the issue. However, while the marshal handled the situation well, the overall experience has convinced us that we will not be returning. I would caution first-time visitors that they may encounter territorial behavior from local members or retirees who seem to believe the course belongs to them rather than being shared by all paying golfers. It's unfortunate because the course itself has much to offer, but the atmosphere created by some regulars made us feel more like intruders than welcomed guests.
I really enjoyed this course very challenging but fair. In Immaculate shape late August in Richmond challenging to say the least. Tea boxes Fairways and greens were exceptional. Course layout is very unique and challenging offering a lot of different elevation changes and links style golf. Course also has brand new Yamaha cards which have ball cleaner and Club head cleaners on them, nice rides! Cart paths are also concrete and very well maintained. Green fees are $64 with card and you would never want to walk this course! Very fair price for what you're getting. There is no water on this course, with the exception of the 18th hole.
Played on October 10th, 2024. Challenging course, very nice conditions on the fairways. Visually beautiful course it seemed like every fairway had water, sand and rolling hills. There were some roaming deer and wild turkeys in the brush. After our round of golf we enjoyed a cold beverage and burgers in the club house. I highly recommend you try Brickshire Providence forge Virginia golf course for your next outing.
