The 500 Golf Club at Adobe Dam Regional Park

For snowbird season, the price for the money is hard to beat. I thought the course was in really good shape. The tees and fairways were divot free. The greens were interesting. I'm no grass expert but the grass seemed different. Very short and hard. Holding a shot was almost impossible. The sand traps were iffy as well. Very little sand in most of them. While it looks like a desert course, the desert was mostly free of bushes and cacti. The pace of play was OK for a Friday afternoon. We played the front in 2 hours and the back in 2 1/2 hours. We never saw a ranger. The practice area was heavily used and pretty chewed up but okay.

Played in Feb 2025. Course was in good condition. Fairways were plush and greens were rolling fast. The rough was brown and matted down significantly making any lie that landed in there very tight. Bunkers were very inconsistent- some were fluffy which allowed you to splash it out and others looked fluffy but were actually not which caused open faced bunker shots to sail across the lightning fast greens. Pro shop and grill were pretty barebones but the beverage cart did show up 3 times during our round which was nice. Payed $110 for twilight and felt like we overpaid a bit. Had a good time but will probably not be back due to better value courses elsewhere.

Played there on Sunday May 4th. Conditions were comparable to a cheap municipal course. Not a 90$ greens fee course. Overgrown tee boxes, slow bumpy greens, and dirt in fairways. With a bucket of balls it was 99$. We played 8 holes in 2.5 hours then a storm rolled in and we were forced to come in off the course. I was unaware of their policy but apparently they do not offer rain checks. I have never heard of this in my 35 years of playing golf all over the country. I will never return and will not recommend to anyone.
