About
The 500 Club (formerly known as Fox Den Country Club and Larkin Golf Club) is a premier entertainment destination for the Lake Norman region. This relaxed club with NASCAR roots provides a laid-back experience, quick pace of play, and plenty of entertainment to make it a destination. World-ranked Head Golf Professional and Assistant Professional offer private and group lessons and clinics. While the course is on the shorter side, the elevation changes and native grass areas make it challenging and strategic. Pace of play is the focus in every round so pick your tees by average driving distance, use the drop zones if needed, and play "Ready Golf" to keep your round moving. Starters, Rangers, and the Pro Shop staff will keep you well informed on any tips that might be useful for the day.

Looking Forward to playing Larkin in good weather condotions
Nice layout. Challenging. Weather was rainy, some soppy area. I will be back in better conditions.
Decent greens, some tough holes
I found the first green a little bumpy, but the rest were pretty good. Does not have a real range. Still worth the hot deals on golf now.
Great golf for a great fee
For the winter time, Course is in great shape. Real nice new carts and not much of a wait time. Friendly staff and overall great experience.
Nice Course Great Staff
Course is failed fun and greens were pretty good They are replacing the greens with Bermuda soon Owner was very friendly His wife made some cookies that were delicious ! Enjoyed my round
Greens in good shape
Decent course with good greens. Winter conditions with some sloppy fairways and lots of divots.
Great course!
One of the best courses in the Charlotte area for the $. I highly recommend you make the 35 minute drive north and play this. You will not be disappointed…or poor. Much much better than courses like old sycamore that charge $80
Much nicer than years past!
Hard to believe just how much this place has improved in recent years! This shows its newest ownership understands the golf industry. The only thing I can possible complain about with Larkin is its very small warm-up range. Other than that the facilities are very nice & modern. Course conditions were great as well.
Nice course
Nice course, well maintained, nice people, brand new carts, priced well. I’ll definitely be back
First Time i a few Years
The course was in great condition , the greens played fast and were well cared for , some need to fix their divots better, don't know of club house amenities, there was no concession stand where I was used to one, didn't check upstairs, would definitely return
Been in the area since January, and this is my favorite. Tee to green great condition
Fall conditions
Course was in good condition overall. Leaves create some issues if you miss the fairways. Slow seniors in front of us made for a long round. No real driving range at this course. Didn't see a real snack bar.
