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.

Great layout…
Had a wonderful time playing this course. Some great views and challenging holes. The greens could use some TLC but overall good experience.
Good value
The course is a good value, however, the greens are not in good condition.
Hard Greens and even harder bunkers.
Not sure what was going on with the setup but the greens were rock hard (I literally threw a golf ball as hard as I could at the ground to test this and it didn't even leave a mark) and while there is grass in the greens, they mowed it so short that once you started a putt, it didn't stop. If you hit a ball in a bunker you are better off taking it out and playing a shot from behind it because there is about an inch of super coarse sand (basically pebbles) and then a layer that feels like concrete. So unless you feel like making unwanted lie angle changes to your wedges or a potential wrist injury, it's not worth it to play out of them.
My home base
This course is fun to play . Has a few challenges. The staff is amazing , they are very kind and helpful.
Why I live in Tucson
49er CC golf course offers a unique experience for Tucson golfers - massive trees, green grass, birds et al and 2 water holes. The course was almost as perfect as the weather. The only criticism would be that the bunkers have the feel of concrete under 1/4 inch of sand, but hey, just don't hit your ball into them and it won't be a problem. The challenges of this course relate to accuracy, not distance. Great course, great weather, great day!
Disappointed
It’s a cheap course, I get it. But the conditions are just horrid. Tee boxes so hard you can’t get a tee in the ground. Bare fairways, scorched greens that are so hard they won’t hold an approach shot. Shame because the course does have a fun and unique layout.
play here every chance you get
The 49er's is a great golf course. Fun, challenging, very well maintained, and not crowded.
