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.

Straightforward course
If I could have hit a straight ball this would have been a much better day. Course has a straightforward layout, great range, good scenery.
Course OK, members not so much
Played on a Saturday afternoon in March. Course, while a bit tired, had some interesting holes and was enjoyable.
The problem, sadly, was a group of other players. Despite our twosome being on track for a sub 4hr round, a group of six carts came up behind us while we were putting out the 15th and began shouting abuse and hitting in to us.
Ar this point we headed for the clubhouse, where the only staff response to our complaint about the behavior was to say that it was most likely members, and that's fairly common.
We will not be returning.
Nice layout but needs TLC
Not sure why they can’t get this course up to the grade of other Tucson courses. Fairways are spotty and and grass is thin. Greens are a little rough. Still a good value with a “hot deal”.
Absolutely Beautiful, Dynamic and Well Maintained Course
Had a fantastic experience during my first time playing Forty Niner - the views were breathtaking and the course was very well maintained. Every hole was a new experience which kept the round very interesting and fun. Would recommend this course to anyone - local or out of town. Definitely making this my regular course!
Qualité and price
Very Nice to play thaïs course In Very good condition
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.
Un beau terrain
Beau layout, les verts en bon état, magnifique vue sur la montagne.
Great bang for your buck
The course was in great condition and the price was great!
Nice old school golf course.
Well maintained, great staff; a classic old school course.
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!
