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 fairways were in much better shape than last year but the greens don't hold. The greens were unbelievably fast due to very short bent grass and some bare spots.

It's OK

It's OK for an economical round of golf. I'm visiting from Chicago, so anytime I can get out in the sunshine in February, I'm happy. Fairways and greens arpe in pretty good shape, but deep rake the traps once in a while. It's like hitting off concrete.

Golf at 49ers

It is a beautiful course , well maintained. The pace was really sliw- but it was a holiday, still it was slow. They would benefit with a course marshal to keep things moving along

Straight forward, but some challenges

The fairways were in good condition, the green not too bad for winter, very fast. Pace of play was ok. Fairways are narrow with trees in play at the margins on some holes. Rough was pretty much good nothing but bare, sandy earth with some gravel but no large rocks. I would play it again
