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.

Beautiful Day

From the time I arrived and was welcomed by smiling Kenny until I completed my round, it was a wonderful day. The greens were lightening fast but consistent and a very good variety of holes provided a big challenge. The pace was consistent, finishing in just over 4 hours. I'll definitely be back.

This course has fast undulating greens

Makes extensive use of doglegs and shortened fairways, so club selection is important. I also think that more sand is required in the bunkers to make it easier to get a little height onto those fast greens.

Much Improved

Last played this course about a year ago. It is clear that they have/are taking steps to improve the condition. Greens were in good to excellent condition and if you keep your ball in the fairway you were typically hitting off of a decent winter overseed. A good golf value in a great setting. Friendly staff.

Course Improving

Course continues to improve conditions overall. Some tee boxes needed care, and fairways in good condition. Greens rolled slower than expected and were bumpy on many occasions. The course is enjoyable and does provide many shot making challenges.

Beautiful course

I’ve played a handful of times and the only thing I can mention are some greens aren’t in the best shape. The greens and pin positions are challenging and I wish more golfers would repair their divots. There are only a couple that weren’t great this past week but everything about this course is phenomenal and I look forward to playing every time!

Great Layout

The course is just coming off of the overseed so the conditions were lush, the greens a bit slow and the course played long. Bunkers were raked and having water to drink from the coolers was great. Good value for the price. I enjoyed playing the course and would recommend it.

Excellent weather, other than no round out in the recently over seeded course. Beautiful day, course and company!

Reseeding done

Course was in poor shape prior to reseeding, now playing much better although winter grass is long in fairways (as expected for the first few weeks).

Greens surprisingly nice (not slow) smooth, holding, and in good shape. Truthfully may not have been overseeded or just close cut. Bunkers good, rough longish, lost balls can be a problem, so watch them closely. Played Monday, so no drink cart, not sure of restaurant but good when available. Friendly personnel and not packed with players so moved right along, no waiting during play. Good value, winter is their best season, conditions should only improve.

Some bare spots

Hit some good shots, wet slopes coming onto the greens provided no bounce. Constant mud on balls in fairway shots, after overseeing so probably expected. Some terrible bare ground spots just on fairway/rough edges meant that you had to play off mud areas where grass should be.

A lot of fun

Had a great time playing this course. I decided to have a little fun and play from the blues. Made it more challenging for sure. Tee boxes were mostly in good shape minus 3 or 4 of them. Fairways were in good shape as well. They were just opened back up from overseeding, so in another couple weeks, they’ll be great! The greens were slow…again…overseeding. Overall, had a fabulous time and was paired with two gentleman who play the course all of the time, so it was like playing with a couple of caddies!
