Providence Golf Club

I played Providence for the second time September 25. The rough has grown in somewhat and makes it a little difficult should you get off the fairway. The greens and fairways are really nice. The problem is, as I stated in the earlier assessment, there are very few rakes in the bunkers. What happens is that people cannot rake their footprints. The course has told me more rakes are on the way, but I would not count on it. the sand is extremely soft and makes it difficult to get out clean.

I played Providence September 4, 2009 and found the course to be outstanding. The course is not quite 2 years old but you would not know it by the course condition. The traps are perfect but there seemed to be only one rake in each bunker which made it very difficult to rake them. The greens were neither slow or fast, very receptive to a shot with a little spin. Most of the par 4’s are long, 7 out of 10 are 380 yards or more. Not a lot of trouble, most holes are pretty wide open. Good clubhouse with good food. Very large range and a very attentive staff. It is one of those courses you will say is really nice.
