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.

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

49er club

Course is doing ok for the time of year we are in.

Fairways have some bare or partially bare spots but the greens were pretty good although a little slow.

Price was great and the pace of play was about 3 1/2 hours.

Summer golf

First off, it was hot! Second, it's the price to pay to play golf in the summer in the desert. Course was in good condition; they were watering on certain holes to keep the grass alive but nothing that interfere with the game.

Always love playing here, near the mountains. lots of mature trees. There are homes that surround the course, but they don't seem to come into play very often. Maybe I'm getting better?

Would recommend play a round or two here.

Lots of maintenance underway

Aerating of the greens in progress, sprinklers going everywhere, groundskeepers buzzing around doing their thing. Was a busy round with all that going on, but still a great course to play at. Overall decent day on the links.

Under repair

The fairways and tee boxes were under repair. A lot dead grass. Wish they would’ve put that on the website when booking. I have played there before and it’s always been a great course
