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.

Good value

Great value for $$. Course is undergoing a lot of repair at the moment. Staff are great and extremely friendly and helpful.

Beverage cart was well stocked. Greens are hard to read but that just makes it more challenging. Definitely will play there again

Horrible Course

First and LAST time player!! Sprinklers were on at every hole, brown dirt or muddy patches on every hole. Players behind kept teeing off and almost hitting our players and carts, Ranger/course pro did Nothing to stop it! Waist of money to play here. Worst course out of 10 courses I've played from Tubac to Tucson without a doubt!. Range is a joke! You can't use your driver past 220 yards. Which defeats the practice. So disappointed in this course as a first time player, wish I could have received a full refund!

Rough Shape

Can’t get a decent lie on the tee boxes, greens are cut like fringe and have tons of dead patches. They’re watering during the day, which is needed and great until you have to dodge a reclaimed water shower to play a shot. Too pricey for current conditions

Greens are terrible

I generally enjoy playing this course but the greens are in terrible condition. Very patchy, sandy, like putting on concrete. More effort needs to be put into the course. Facilities are great, but players golf for the course. I think I’ll wait until the fall for these green to recover. Avoid in the summer
