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.

Great Staff.....
My wife forgot her golf shoes. They stepped up and took care of her need in no time! THANK YOU!!!
Great round
Play here as often as possible whenever my family makes it down. As always, friendly staff, greens are great. This time though they second cut off the fairways were kept higher than normal. You pay for a bad shot. Got to look at the tee shot with more planning. We play a lot in Virginia and that is how most courses are. Can't wait to play there again.
Great experience
Always a pleasure to play here. Best looking cart girls in the country!
Great Course, Pro Shoo Staff, Not So Much
My friend had an issue booking the round and they booked pm instead of an am time. That kinda thing happens but the guy in the pro shop didn’t know we could hear and called us douche bags for no reason.
You get what you pay for
First off. The course layout is fun. Lots of difficult elevation. Lots of water hazards. It’s an enjoyable layout. If only the fairways were well
Manicured. If only the cart paths weren’t like driving through a bomb torn country road. If only they had ANY snack bar at all. No drink cart. The restaurant isn’t connected to the course and was completely clueless about what they did and did not even offer.
I won’t go back.
But it was cheap if you booked online under $40 for 18 holes. Oh and no gps to catch you driving on the course wrong
Excellent course
They just aerated so the course condition was to be expected. That being said, the staff was awesome and the course is gorgeous. Definitely coming back
Great shape
Played a quick nine after work and as always the staff was very friendly and helpful. A young man brought a cart to my truck and picked it up when I was finished. Course was well kept and the greens were great. Will be back
So much potential
This course needs some $$$, TLC and course management. Of course adding those elements would probably double the cost per round. I wanted to like this course more but the conditions of the greens, cart paths, traps and clubhouse facility were lacking. The layout is nice. The views and elevation changes are great. Homes don’t encroach on play. It’s things like the lack of repaired ball marks on the greens, poor signage on the tee boxes and pretty rough cart paths that detract from the experience. This course holds SO much potential. As for value, it was priced appropriately, given the conditions, and had tee times available a week in advance on a Saturday morning.
GREAT condition
Course is looking great. Tee boxes to greens, perfect.
Very good condition
I found very good greens and fairways, although the greens seemed a bit slow and sticky. Some significant undulation in some fairways. There is no real driving range, just a small warm up area. I did not see the restaurant. I will not hesitate to return.
