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.

Improvements needed all around
I took my friend with me who doesn’t play but just wanted to ride. I called the day before to make sure their policy on riders. The gentleman told me as long as it wasn’t busy it would be no charge (which makes no sense, period…but Ok). I went to check in and said I had called yesterday about my friend just riding and that I was told if it wasn’t too busy, there’d be no charge. The man who looked to be in charge said, “Oh no. We’re going to have to charge a rider fee.” We went back and forth just a bit and then someone got his attention and the nice gentleman checking me in motioned to not worry about it. Then, the bartender was overwhelmed when we first went in and there were very few people inside/outside and at the bar area. She was grumpy, not making eye contact and we just brushed it off as maybe she was just not a morning person. Then, we went back at the turn and she was even grumpier. We ordered drinks to go but then saw some yummy fried thing that someone else had ordered and decided we’d sit for a bit since we were suddenly hungry. She got upset that we changed our mind. Told us she’d have to get us a server and put us at a table. I told her we simply changed our mind. Then, she kept being rude with her whole demeanor. The way she handed over the receipt, the way she gave us our drinks. We were just inconveniencing her and so I gave her a $2.00 tip on my $20 bill and wrote “you suck” because I wanted management to know I wasn’t pleased. Then when she brought out our chips she set them down and said, “Is everything ok?” I said, “You were rude and that’s not okay. We simply changed our mind and you didn’t have to react the way you did. Just be nice to customers.” Then the manager came over and was also aggressive in the way he asked “Is there a problem”. I said, “She was rude. I see you’re trying to take up for your staff, which you shouldn’t, but we inconvenienced her by changing our minds and she made it seem like it was just such an ordeal. She needs to change her attitude.” And he said, “Yeah, because you wrote, ‘you suck’, so..”. And I said, “Look, I’ve done her job. I know customers. But you need to know as the manager, that she was rude for no real reason, bottom line.” And he said, “Ok, well enjoy your food and the rest of your day.”, and I told him to do the same. Just poor customer service! He should not be the manager. A total overhaul of that course/grill/facilities is what needs to happen. Get staff who are professional and want to make the experience a pleasurable one.
Good value for good game
The first nine are great. Back nine ok but quite as player friendly
Bad Day
We were greeted by a very grumpy person working in the golf shop and then had a run in with four teenage boys that were incredibly rude. We were supposed to have played 18 holes and left after 10.
First timer
Forgiving course located in picturesque residential neighborhood. Good conditions and not real busy at our 11:45 tee time. Friendly staff.
A Beautiful Day
The help from the pro shop and Kenny the starter got us off to a good start with the ice water provided outside the clubhouse. The pace was fine, finishing in about 4 hours. The greens were like greased lightning but consistent. A good variety of hole shapes and distances with some water thrown in to keep you on your toes. The fairways are in good shape thanks to a good grounds crew. A very enjoyable day on the course.
Nice course but very slow pace of play
Enjoyed the course, in good shape and I enjoyed the layout. Issue was 20 minutes past tee time before we were allowed to tee off. Most holes we had to wait for two groups in front of us before we could tee off.
Good enough
Not to bad course definitely could be better pace was slow greens need work
49er
Always enjoy this course. Friendly employees and grounds keepers do a wonderful job. Greens are fast and fairways are good conditon
Very nice day for a round of golf
Was late deciding on playing golf and there wern''t many options at other courses. Really don't have a $150/round game but enjoy playing and enjoying the nice weather. Pretty much as expected and per other reviews. Overall it was worth the money and were paired with 2 nice folks so made for an enjoyable day.
Great place to play
We always enjoy playing at 49-er. The staff is very friendly and professional, driving range is good, and the course itself is quite scenic. Fairways weren’t in the greatest shape, but greens were good.
