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.

The hole course is in poor condition. The place is not worth it unless you get a deal on GolfNow or some other platform and that might not make it worth it. I hope management sees this, find some pride and get this place in decent condition.

Poor Course conditions

The overall course conditions are not good. This is the first time we have played it in 2 years after having played it many times in past years and were disappointed. The rough in many areas is just dirt, the greens are vey thin without much grass and the bunkers need attention. The fairways were pretty good overall.

This course could have better signage from hole to hole. If we hadn’t been partnered up with another couple who knew the course, we would have gotten lost.

Fantastic winter golf experience

The staff was welcoming and responsive. The course was in good shape but had some holes that were wet whyi. They can’t really help. The greens were fast but consisten. Overall great value for the price in the winter.

Great

Everything was great except when we got back to the parking lot there people launching balls into the parking lot from the driving range. I don't know if it was intentional or not but there were numerous balls in the parking lot and in the 5 minutes it took us to load our clubs 3 balls hit cars. My buddy was nearly hit. This is a dangerous situation.

Some improvement, doing well.

Folks who downgrade this course do so based on uneven conditions, and slow play. I concede those issue. Fairways are bumpy, tees can be splotchy, and because it’s a great winter play value it gets lots of prime time play. Being tree lined and somewhat lengthy with large difficult greens, it can present challenges.

Greens are cut winter short, moderately firm, somewhat sandy, and are torturous putting across or downhill. Bunker sand is good, fairways yield good and some taxing lies. Overall, there are improvements and they should be recognized. Friendly, accommodating staff, and good food and drink as well. I’ve played this course for years, and will continue….enjoy 49er!

Good condition

The course was in very good condition. The greens were super fast so you needed to be below the hole or wave goodbye on your putt lol.

Solid, friendly course

I have played this course twice and have thoroughly enjoyed my rounds. The course is tree lined with each hole set in an attractive setting. On each visit, the staff have been very friendly and helpful guiding newbies around the facilities. Unlike so many local courses, Forty-Niner provides ball washers and drinking water on most holes. Wish more courses did that. Course conditions were in good shape and the pace of play was actually fast. All in all, I recommend playing Forty Niner if you get the chance.

Nice Course for the Money

Play was very slow, albeit it was during the holidays. Course was in pretty good condition, greens needed some attention but, all in all it was a nice course.
