Rating Snapshot
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.

Horribly overrated
Upon arrival, staff was very unfriendly and impatient with me regarding their online check in feature with GolfNow. I had never used it before, and the employee in the pro shop had a huge attitude towards me with this situation, for whatever reason. Once I eventually figured out the online check-in, I teed off and was immediately underwhelmed with the course conditions and the layout. I had heard nothing but great things about this course and was excited to try it out, and it's safe to say I will never be returning. Tee boxes were in horrendous conditions, greens were rock solid and felt like turf, bunkers were filled with rocks, and there were multiple old and un-repaired divots in the fairway. Course layout was fine at best, some holes were fun and easy while others seemed unnecessarily difficult for a local, municipal-type course. Don't even get em started on how overpriced the course was considering everything I just listed. Should be a $20 course at most. Absolutely horrible, there are at least 20 better courses in Tucson I'd recommend before this one.
Fun Course
Beautiful weather, course in great shape, met 2 nice guys to play with. Throughly enjoyed our day!
Poor beverage service
Only saw the beverage cart once all day. That was by the first green. I was not very happy
Great course
We had a great day, course was in great shape, the pace of play was very pleasant.
Kenny is a real sweetheart!
Another Enjoyable Day at 49R
From the warm welcome from Kenny, the nicest welcomer in Tucson, until the returning of the golf cart, it was a wonderful day of golf. The drink cart lady was friendly and patient and the young man in the clubhouse was kind and efficient. The course is a real challenge with no easy holes. The back stretch of 15, 16, 17 is particularly challenging as bodies start to tire. It's where the roadwork pays off. Always fun to play.
Great course
This is a wonderful course for a beginner to intermediate golfer. Also, was glad to see refreshment cart more than once . A good experience all around 🙂.
Good value
First time playing this course this year.
Course is in good condition and staff is friendly.
