WILLIAM NOBLITT USPTA, USPTR CERTIFIED DIRECTOR OF TENNIS PROVIDENCE COUNTRY CLUB

"One of the greatest golf courses I've ever played. There is not a more challenging layout this side of the Mississippi. (153 slope rating from the tips). It is private, so if you get the chance to go, don't pass it up. Bring your A game and don't be upset if you shoot 10 worse than normal. It is exciting and in great shape year round."

THANK YOU to our HOUSEKEEPING CREW! Our housekeepers have risked their lives to play an integral part in keeping our clubs open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond their normal duties of cleaning bathroom touchpoints, they often come to properties between 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning and go the extra mile to sanitize touchpoints all throughout the club.

While they are protecting themselves and have cleaning protocols in place, without the housekeeping team, who would clean and sanitize the properties for our members to utilize? We owe a great big thanks to the housekeepers at the MCG clubs!

5. Review your request and click "Submit."
