500 Club Golf Course

Great golf course. Fair rates, and good greens.
We were there during a tournament Saturday, and pace was still decent. On Sunday, we had a 5 person group they let play together… we finished in 3 hours 15 minutes. Great experience.
Staff were pleasant and personal. Pro shop guys had a sense of humor, and the kitchen/​bar staff were always smiling.
Protip — The GPS golf carts prompt you for food on hole 8÷9… the $ 6.50 burger was awesome! Ready to go in a travel clamshell when we walked in.
Thanks :)

Pretty average golf course. Fairways and greens were OK in some areas, but it is summer time in the desert. Bunkers were mostly dirt. Pace of play was slow and could have been better (4:45). The Staff was OK. They could have been a little nicer, maybe a bad day? Greens fees were higher than several other courses in the NW valley. Overall, the experience at this course was slightly disappointing.

This course’s motto is «The only house you will see is the Clubhouse» Well that statement was correct, but the other things you won’t find is sands in the sand traps, and water on the fairways and greens. For the price this course charges the conditions should be much better and the Pro Shop staff is so arrogant it’s a disgrace. If you’re a high handicap golfer this is the course for you, however, if you’re a 12 or less spend your money at two better tracks on the West side; Legends at Arrowhead and Vistancia.

The Future Course is a great start for the beginner golfer. Very clean nice course with nice views and lovely green grass.

I’ve played this course for the fourth time now and still find it worth every penny. The course isn’t lush nor scenic, but the holes will reward you or punish you based on your ability. I’ll be back for another round during the next year’s Spring Training.

We played the 500 course today. 5 of us were able to play together, which is rare. We all had a great experience. I was a little leary after reading some of the reviews. But, I have to say… cannot give it anything but 5 stars. the staff was kind, from the bag drop off to the grill workers. The course was in tip top shape and we never had to wait on any hole even on a sat.

Went out golfing on Black Friday. Tee time at 2 pm. By 5:30 we were on hole number 11 and in the dark. The wonderful gentlemen in the pro shop decided it was a good idea to let groups of 5 go out. Staff is very blah and will not even attempt to smile or make you feel welcome. Driving range is a big sand pit that is tough to hit off of and the 500 club thinks they are elite and should charge for a bucket.
Overall a very bad experience and I will just head out to Vistancia or one of our 20+ courses in the NW valley.

Let me start by saying the course is in great condition, great layout, and overall a really fun track to play. What takes away from the course is the complete lack of customer service inside the pro shop. Can’t even call it customer service. Just a couple of real miserable guys with the personalities of door knobs.

The proshop staff should be more polite when answering the phone. leaves a bad impression no matter how nice the course is! Plus… clean your restrooms for crying out loud, they smell like urine.

Great course on the north side of town. They do a great job keeping the course maintained and are constantly putting money back into the course.
If you need Lessons see GW. I have taken lessons from several people but no one has ever changed the way i think about the game like GW. By the time I finished my first set of 5 lessons I had cut a consistent 10 strokes off my game with no doubt. GW is one of a kind.

It is very tough to find a course on the west side of the Valley that is not surrounded by houses. I can’t even think of one in fact.
This is a nice desert course and the is not a single hole were you have to worry about hitting someones home.
This is NOT to say that the course is easy, but it is always well cared for and one less thing to worry about while on the tee-​box is a good thing for me.

I like this golf course — its challenging from the tips (not so much from the whites) and has a few holes that play through the mountains and has some nice elevation changes and they keep the greens in good shape. Its a good value in the winter (seems a little pricey in the summer) and the pace of play is good (this is super important to me). I have been there for some 4.5+ hr rounds, but overall the pace is good, and they have a ranger out there trying to keep people moving. The restaurant is limited in what they offer but I don’t care because when I’m golfing, its always a hot dog and their hot dogs are damn fine. They also have a 9 hole executive course that I have not played but looks very kid friendly.

I am a fan of the 500 club and often visit this course as a break in scenery from my home MVCC course. Today, however, was by far the most unpleasant experience I have had at the 500 club. I do not often play late twilight hours, but today, I was invited by three colleagues to play your course, so I obliged. We arrived and checked in at 6 pm. We purchased our round, ($ 28) and proceeded to play, or try to play nine holes. For the most part, the round was enjoyable, despite not having any beverage or drink service in triple-​digit temperatures, but that was not a concern for us. What concerned me and why I am writing today is because of the rude manner in which we were treated trying to rush our round with approximately 1.5 hours of sunlight remaining. They wanted to close up shop early and did not inform us of that fact. After a certain time, only teenagers run the golf course and do not understand long-​term market share or basic customer service principles, which pay their hourly wage.
Nevertheless, we were rudely escorted off to the club house and not even allowed to drop our bags off at the bag drop area.
I’ve heard of some pretty bad golf experiences with post-​round play, but this one takes the cake. Absolutely unacceptable to be mistreated in this manner. We would not have mind if we were politely asked to finished or if we would rush our play to finish by 7:30 p.m., but instead, we were forced and guided back to the club house like a bunch of kids (all four of us are successful executives working with fortune 500 companies in Arizona). More so, this would have been acceptable had we known to return the carts by 7:30 p.m. Why would the pro shop employees sell us a round at 6 p.m. without informing us that the carts had to be returned at 7:30 p.m. To communicate the time expectation with two holes remaining in the round is absurd. That important factorial is beyond me, but not the root cause of our complaint with this customer service — it was the manner in which we were treated after receiving this new information and forced off of the course.
Sadly, I have been playing here for quite some time, but after my experience this afternoon, I will find it hard to return when there are much better courses in Arizona who will not only provide exceptional greens, but an exceptional experience in-​and-​out of the pro shop.
