Forty-Niner Country Club
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.

Good tight layout, decent greens , and good value to your money. I will play there again.
Value and Very nice course
Always friendly and great value for a good size course. Beautiful area to play a round.
Only so-so
Having lived in Tucson for many years, I've played 49er many times. On this particular day, the course was very crowded and pace was very slow.
Greens were in bad shape, with many of the greens having bare spots without grass, especially near the fringes.
City courses like Randolph and El Rio are in better shape in my opinion.
fairways had very sparse grass painted weeds in areas greens were atrocious
Bad conditions - don’t play right now.
I frequent this course quite often. I was quite shocked in how quickly the course condition has deteriorated. It was in great shape after the overseeding, but it seems like they haven’t done any lawn care or maintenance since then. The greens are horrible. They have no grass on them. They are bare and because of that it was like putting on ice. Most of the fairways are a weed infested mess. The rest of them were swamps. The nicest part of the course was the dormant Bermuda grass in the rough. You had a better lie there than on the chunky clovers or crabgrass mess in the fairway. The tee boxes need mowed badly and also leveled out. I will not play this course again until they make drastic improvements. Oh, charging $50 a round with these type of conditions was also adding insult to injury. Save your money and play a different course.
Great Time
Course was in very good shape except for a couple of the fairways that looked like it needed water.
Conditions terrible
Fairways are terrible and the overall maintenance is lacking. Looks like they are in financial trouble and cutting back on labour. This place was no good 4 years ago and now they are back to their old ways
Play a city course and bypass this course until they get serious about maintenance and can find some money to improve things.
It’s priced appropriately.
Greens were consistently fast. Fairways were inconsistently over seeded. Fallen leaves resulted in lost balls in the fairway.
Overall though my opinion/experience is what I expected given the very affordable price. Great food in the restaurant!!
Excellent value , great golf
The course was basically empty, being New Years Eve? Weather was gorgeous until we hit the 15th and the rain came. Had a great time. Staff was very friendly and most importantly, I shot well.
Nice course for the money...great staff!
Couldn't beat the price at $19 (Hot Deal)! Great staff too!
Extremely Slow
I played this course quite extensively over the last few years. This year, the course is in rough shape, from tee boxes to greens.
But the worse aspect is the slowness of play. No Marshals on the course to keep play moving. We had completed 2 holes and when we got to 3 there were FOUR foursome waiting to tee off.
It didn’t get any better as we only finished 15 holes before darkness set in at 5:25 PM. We teed off at 12:45
Very Mediocre at best…
We live here and play all over Tucson , Phoenix and between. This course isn’t in the Top 50 I have played here. U can pay the same price at El Con and it’s far better. a 4 star??? That’s laughable
