About The 500 Golf Club at Adobe Dam Regional Park
The 500 Golf Club at Adobe Dam Regional Park offers good value for golfing in Arizona. Reviewers praise the friendly staff, facilities, driving range, and course condition. The desert course is challenging with fast greens and scenic views. The layout is interesting, with at least two holes where the green is on an island surrounded by water, testing players' accuracy. The course is always well maintained and features several risk-reward holes that encourage players to use every club in the bag. Located in a peaceful park without houses, it provides an open feel similar to desert golf courses in Phoenix. The pace of play is generally good, and prices are reasonable. Food and drinks are available at the course, and the restaurant offers a friendly atmosphere. The practice green, which was recently demoed for a future "multi-use" facility, is a point of concern for some, as it serves as a free drop-in area where young kids and seniors learn and practice golf. Many believe maintaining this practice area helps introduce golf to newcomers, encourages family practice sessions, and keeps inexperienced players away from the first tee box. Recent reviews mention that the driving range may not be ideal for everyone, especially in the morning sun with no shade, and the quality of balls can be inconsistent, with some cracked or worn out. However, players look forward to playing the course, noting it is in pretty good shape. The course features large, open, forgiving fairways with some technical holes. It is well maintained, though some players experienced delays when others started before their tee time. During snowbird season, the prices are considered very reasonable. The course's tees and fairways are divot-free, but the greens are very short and hard, making holding shots difficult. The sand traps tend to have little sand, and while the course looks like a desert, it is mostly free of bushes and cacti. The pace of play is acceptable, with the front nine taking about two hours and the back nine about two and a half hours, although some noted the absence of a ranger. The practice area is heavily used and somewhat worn but still functional. Overall, the course offers a fun, scenic, and challenging experience with good facilities and a friendly staff.
Very well kept, fun, challenging course, price isn't to bad for golf either. Very scenic views and 19th hole is affordable and the staff is absolutely fabulous, Rizz, or awesome, depending on your generation. Play a round here you won't regret it.
Fun local course that is well taken care of and well ran. Staff was very kind in accommodating some schedule changes with my tee times and PGX rentals were is great shape. Nice alternative to the high priced resort courses. Wish I had time to play again.
This is for the Futures course which is part of the The 500 club but is its own Par 3, 9-hole course.
The course is short, with the opening hole being the only par -4. The greens roll very nice regardless of their appearance- they are light on the grass side and the coloration shows that. They are rolled what seems like everyday to keep them true. Lots of undulating in the greens makes birdies hard to come by. I would say the greens are moderately receptive.
The fairways have a tight cut of the grass and have 100% coverage which is nice. The holes are like a nice municipal course.
The ground is hard so tee shots can roll a long way, and the tee boxes...read full review
