Situated between the Catalina and Rincon Mountains, Forty Niner Country Club runs alongside a wooded riverbed. The golf course features fairways lined with mesquites, giant cottonwoods, eucalyptus trees, and weeping willows. Desert shrubbery also lines the fairways. The course has a traditional layout that sprawls across gently rolling terrain. It's a nice walkable golf course but it's not easy. Rather than distance, this course requires accurate shot placement and careful strategy in order to maneuver the tricky doglegs and subtly elevated greens. The most difficult hole on the course comes early on. The par-4 fifth is an only seemingly narrow hole but the double-tiered green has a dramatic slope right in the center. Forty Niner Country Club finishes with a par 3 that requires a carry over water. If played smartly, it offers a great birdie opportunity.

Fun Course

The course is fun and challenging. Narrow fairways, rolling grounds to make shot placement important. The staff is nearly always extremely helpful. Kenny is a legend at getting people off timely. Sam is the best courtesy/beverage cart person I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Very personable while remaining professional. What a star. The one this this course could use is an on course marshall to keep the pace of play up and to break up 5-somes.

Course conditions seemed below average for courses in this area at time of play. Greens looked like they were struggling. I understood this to be a nice course, so maybe I went at a bad time. Biggest gripe would be the greens. Layout, staff, amenities all above average.

Oops

I became very ill overnight and couldn’t play on Thursday and was too ill to even call in and cancel my tee time. I always enjoy playing at 49r and look forward to playing there again once I am well.

The course was a little busy but this is to be expected on a Sunday, the staff tried to keep slower groups moving and we felt they did a great job.

We will be going back again for sure

Good course

The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good shape. The rough off of the fairways is minimal with a lot of hard pan/dirt. You got to hit fairways. Overall nice course for the price.

Good value for the money

This course is a good value for the money. It has a nice practice area for chipping/putting and the staff is SUPER friendly. The overseeded fairways are very nice, but the rough is mostly bare - not even dormant bermuda.
