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.

I'd play it again.

Well maintained but nothing outstanding. It's been around for at least 50 years and surrounded by houses, So, there's not much they could do to change the course.

Always a Challenge

With greens that slope back to front and roll like linoleum, every hole is a challenge. Great staff and it seems every time I play here the course is in better shape.and what a scenic course, especially the back nine. It's a definite challenge.

Older Course, but well maintained

This is a fun course to play. Though it is nested in a Country Club community, the course is wide with plenty of room for a rough and the trees are not crowding the fairway. Most of the links are straight forward with space for errant shots. The fairway was in good shape and the greens somewhat well maintained. A couple were inconsistent, that is they did not all play at the same speed. It is well worth the value for an average player.

Nice park style layout

The course has an interesting layout with lots of mature trees.

The course and greens were in good condition and it was a good value.

We enjoyed our round and look forward to playing it again.

It also has a very good bar and restaurant and nice driving range and practice area.

Golf course is in bad condition. Extremely wet, hasn't rained in weeks. Greens were rough, ball did not roll, it bounced. Bunkers are concrete.

Save your money. Play elsewhere.

Needs improvement

The course needs considerable improvement in many areas. Specifically greens, bunkers, rough around greens.

This course is playable but you will disappointed if you expect any more than slightly below average conditions.
