Forty-Niner Country Club

Too many traps and elevated greens

Very dry hard tee boxes

Greens very hard and not great turf, Tees and Fairways ok...staff friendly...price in line for area...

This course is a good value for the money. It has a nice practice area for chipping/putting and the staff is SUPER friendly. The overseeded fairways are very nice, but the rough is mostly bare - not even dormant bermuda.

The course is relatively "meh" and not real long but the tight fairways make the challenge entertaining. Having an on course marshall to keep the pace of play moving along would be a benefit when the course is full.

The layout and scenic Western setting are outstanding. Staff is friendly and well-organized and it’s always an interesting course to play. The new cart paths and improved fairways are great, too.

We like the course and will play again, however, today a group was holding up at least 3 groups behind them without letting anyone play through.

They were 3 men playing ahead of my wife and I (12:09 T Time) on the front nine and 2 of the 3 on the back nine.

They were and fairly short hitters, but would wait until the group ahead of them was on the green before teeing off. There was never any chance they would interfer with the group in front.

On top of that:

1. They would play 2nd balls if their first balls weren't good shots. (Might have been a father/son on the back nine?)

2. They knew they were holding people up, but took way too long on the greens....walking around looking at angles, talking to each other about the shots, etc, etc.

At 4:35 playing time by hole 15, my wife and I left.

I kept hoping a marshaler would come by, but we didn't see one.

Course in great condition, tee boxes plush. Greens tho were impossible to regularly two put ,domed and sloped too much- stay beneath the pin on approach or you will 3 putt

The course was in average shape for the time of year and the amount of rain, but the fairways were extremely narrow. I believe this was due to the desire to conserve water, but in some places the width of the patch of grass wasn’t much larger than a throw rug.

The pace of play was extremely slow. This was partly due to the day we played, Sunday, but also the fact that the tee times are only spaced 8 minutes apart. Additionally, they let two singles play individually while surrounded by foursomes. Overall, the course has some interesting and fun holes, but the frustratingly slow pace of play, and the Mohawk fairways, significantly diminished the overall enjoyment.

If putting down hill it was extremely hard to judge the correct speed. just when you thought you could read the break there was none. Extremely hard to hold the green from any kind of distance, If you like dog legs left this is your place! Now that I seen it would like to play it again.

5:15

Tee times every 8 minutes

Outing in front of big party.

Pace of play very slow. Sadly when this happens other things take a back seat like course conditions , staff, etc. Greens hard and fast. Very windy and if you had a downhill , downwind putt forget it. I had some putts roll up to hole and then roll back past where I started putt from. Pin sitters need to understand pin placement can cause slower play.

49er? More like 49 minutes late on letting us tee off! They had TWO tournaments going on at the same time and were allowing tee times to be booked. Who does this? Really bad oversight that day. I like the course but this could be improved.

Great layout, greens were in good shape. Not a complaint but some of the pins were set in places that makes one think the greenskeeper had a bad night. Also a couple of the kids working there approached our group and asked us to speed up our play(we had to wait on every hole). Turned out to be a 5 hour round. Otherwise I would recommend this course
