Forty-Niner Country Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Forty Niners
Friendly staff. Conditions are inconsistent. Most greens are very good. Fairways surprisingly bumpy providing weird lies where there should be generally smooth surfaces. Tee boxes similarly inconsistent. Bunkers run the gamut from groomed to hard and rocky. We have played here in past years and all agree that the course conditions have improved but all agree there is still room for improvement.
Nice club, avg conditions.
Month after month, year after year, I continue to give this course a C minus.
I really don’t know what the problem is.
Last year they installed a brand new, putting green and chipping area, and since opening in October 2023, they continue to be in below average condition.
The greens on the golf course are spotty, and I have really never seen this course in pristine condition.
The course has garnered a reputation in the community for perpetually being below average. I would hazard a guess that it lacks dynamic leadership.
Greens were horrible. Like they had no grass. Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes had grass but it was like teeing up in the rough. Needed to be mowed. The course itself is a good layout .
The main problem was the horrible condition of the greens. Fairways and tee areas were ok.
Concrete greens
Greens were very very hard. Iron shots even with a sand wedge bounced and rolled off the greens.
Good value
Needs water, but it’s AZ! Great layout, nice fairways, kind of rough tees. Greens are interesting, cuz they’re fast. but they’re a dry and hard. Staff friendly. I’d play it next time I’m in Tucson for the right price. Had fun.
Course is firm.
Everything around the course is firm. If you come into the greens with a high ball flight, you can hold the greens. They are a little dry, but putt true. Bunkers are firm, so you need to hit closer to the ball than you would with a normal bunker shot. Staff was excellent!!
Cement Greens
Fairways well kept, greens literally will not hold your shot. Watched beautiful chips and approach shot bounce off of the green with zero divots. Has potential to be an amazing club but it definitely takes away from the experience when the greens play like a cart path.
Overbooked
Overbooked or just a lot of slow people. Waited on every hole. 2 foursomes on every hole. Slower than normal.
Last walk at the 49 Gv
Very poor range poor upkeep greens never consistent
