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.

Golfer Reviews
Nice layout, staff friendly.
Had frost delay so a bit late starting - understandable. Group in front very slow. 5 hour round - hard to get a rhythm going.
Getting better
The course conditions have been slowly getting better over the last year. The greens are still rock hard, but the conditions have gotten a lot better over the last year. Overseeding starts the day after I played, so I’m guessing they weren’t too worried about the conditions of some of the fairways. Some of the fairways were just completely overgrown and I couldn’t tell a difference between the rough and the fairway in several places. Hopefully the course will be in better shape after overseeding is done. I also hope that they punch the greens during this time as well. There is nothing worse than hitting the front of the green only to watch your ball rocket off the back of the green because it’s almost as hard as the cart path.
First trip out in 6 years
I’ll start by saying that the gentleman working the check In counter was very helpful, had a positive attitude, and willingness to help. The course however left a lot to be desired! I wasn’t expecting much with a price tag of $27 for a round, but the course needs a lot of work. If you decide to play a cheap round and don’t mind just ok course conditions then this is a good choice.
Best of luck!
Nice course
The course has a nice variety of holes and some scenic views. Depending on the tee that you choose it can be fairly easy or relatively difficult ... which makes it a fun course.
Poor conditions
When we arrived, was told we’d play the back 9 twice due to an event that was taking place. No phone call, text or email stating such. The course was in bad shape. Overgrown, gnarly, and patchy rough. Bunkers had grass growing in them. The slow greens had dirt patches, divots and rivets. The layout was nice but the course fell short of being recommended by me. It’s a good course for beginners to learn on and for those who don’t keep score. Staff were accommodating.
Needs work
It’s summer time in Tucson and the temps have been well over 100° for a while now, so I wasn’t expecting the greatest course conditions. The tee boxes were in terrible condition. More sand than actual grass. The fairways looked like they haven’t been cut in several days, and even several greens were very shaggy. The back 9 had 2 pin locations, so that made it a little confusing. I really like the way this course plays, but the conditions were pretty bad.
Cow Pasture- garbage
This course is complete trash. Don't waste your gas or time to even try.
Really needs more grass
Most Greens and some fairways are thin on grass. Most tee boxes ok and clear evidence they have been watering them, so improvement from two weeks ago when I played. Greens were really fast two weeks ago and did not hold a pitch. Many greens the grass is so short you are putting on packed sand. Fairways are getting watered, encountered sprinklers running on a few holes.
Monsoon rains should help a lot.
Surprisingly green for the middle of the summer.
The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. Plenty of water stations with cold crisp water. Great conditions, friendly staff and club members. Id gladly play here again. Very challenging course with some nice par 3's mixed in so you dont get too frustrated
Rough
I love this course. Normally great conditions and really wonderful experience. This round was rough. Summer has been hard on them.
Conditions
Overall the course is in fair shape. The greens are very bumpy and furry, the fairways are for the most part in poor shape!
Lots to improve
It should be noted, this was in the dead of summer, but it was one of the worse course conditions I’ve ever experienced. Several of the fairways were just dirt, grass mostly worn down. For $60 I’d expect a lot more during the summer.
The course is built for a draw or lefty fade and the fairways are quite thin. It makes for a challenging day if disbursement is wide. Lovely houses along the course, but they’re close.
If they took care of the grass better and it was full and thick, this would be an enjoyable and fairly challenging course. As it stands, I wouldn’t recommend playing.
Bad condition, no water
I’ve played this course many times and this has to be the one of the worst rounds I’ve played there. Course conditions were rough. Greens in terrible condition and water jugs were empty. I played a round at 1pm and there was no water.. I only saw the cart once and that was at hole 6. Fortunately I had my own water, but wanted to top it off since I had several more holes to play. Very disappointing..
