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.

Golfer Reviews
Larkin Golf Course
Staff are always friendly. I played 4/1/22 and as expected fairways are dormant. Pleasantly surprised of green conditions. Greens are being well kept. Decent speed, I have played here a few times a year for the past 10 years and the green speed has always been very slow. Improvement there for my foursome.
But range is short wedge only.
Good Course - Depending on the day
Pace of play can definitely be a problem, older foursomes all over the place that take their time. Course layout is fun and scorable. Pretty good condition most of the time especially for the price. Like going here every now and then!
Larkin 3/30/22
I’ve grown to like this course over the past few weeks. It’s definitely in good condition for this time of year. Fairways and greens were well maintained. Greens are running pretty fast even though it was wet. The bunkers had sufficient amounts of sand unlike other courses nearby.
The one thing I wish they had was a better clubhouse with a full bar.
I really enjoyed my round at Larkin. Course is in great shape and I like the variety of golf holes in the course layout. One of my favorites in this area
Very playable
Early season golf so the Bermuda is still dormant but very playable and greens were smooth with nice speed. Lots of variety to the holes. Fun course
Fun Time
Course was a bit wet in places, but in good shape. The greens were fast, so downhill putts were a bit tricky. This was the 1st time I've played since Nov, 2021. Had a great time.
Great Value, really good track
Beat course for the buck, interesting lay out conditions pretty good for the time of year. Well worth the trip from Huntersville.
Crowded for a Monday afternoon
Nice course, fun to play. Single went off at 12pm played 6 holes fairly quickly then it was a logjam. only played 15 holes because it was cold and windy. But good value for the price and fun course to play. Would play again on a warmer day
3 courses in one round
If you like typical Piedmont Carolina, tracks, mountain courses and Florida flat land courses, you get 6 holes of each at Larkin. With bent grass greens that will putt true and hold your approach shot.
This is my favorite close by course.
Nice course. Loved the hills. For mid November the greens were in great shape.
The course is in very good condition, fairways firm and the greens are receptive. Staff personnel were very helpful, carts are clean and most of the cart paths are in good condition. I look forward to playing Larkin Golf Club again soon.
Underwhelming
A good, though sometimes quirky, layout that needs better maintenance to justify its rate. As well, the pro shop staff just seems disinterested.

Course was a little rough, but still enjoyable. I will come back
