The 500 Club Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play The 500 Club for optimal conditions?

We've found late fall through early spring offers the most comfortable temperatures for a round here, avoiding the intense summer heat. You'll enjoy the firm, fast conditions and usually a more relaxed pace of play during these months.

What kind of challenge can I expect at The 500 Club, and are there any must-see holes?

The 500 Club offers a fair test for most handicaps, but don't underestimate the desert-style bunkering and elevation changes. We particularly love the par-3 17th; it demands a precise shot over a deep canyon, offering a stunning backdrop you won't soon forget.

Is playing at The 500 Club a good value, and what should I budget for a round?

We think The 500 Club delivers solid value, especially considering the course quality and scenic views. Expect green fees to be in the mid-range for a well-maintained public course in the region, but always check their website for twilight rates or package deals that can save you a few bucks.

What's the overall experience like at The 500 Club beyond just the golf course?

You'll find a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive, with a well-stocked pro shop and friendly staff ready to assist. Their practice facilities are top-notch, and the grill offers a great spot for a post-round drink and a bite, with views overlooking the 18th green.

Are there any specific local tips or unique challenges at The 500 Club I should be aware of?

Pay close attention to your club selection on the back nine, as the elevation changes can really trick you, especially on the uphill approaches. We also recommend bringing extra balls; the desert washes, while beautiful, are unforgiving if you stray too far off the fairway.
