49ERs on a Beautiful Day

Busy tee times thru 1300, but Kenny as usual had things moving and there was very little waiting, even on the par 3s. 4:30 total time, including stop at the turn for hot dogs to go. BTW, if you want a treat the Grill serves Big City, all beef hot dogs and they are to die for!!!!!!!!!!

Good value

Needs water, but it’s AZ! Great layout, nice fairways, kind of rough tees. Greens are interesting, cuz they’re fast. but they’re a dry and hard. Staff friendly. I’d play it next time I’m in Tucson for the right price. Had fun.

Course is firm.

Everything around the course is firm. If you come into the greens with a high ball flight, you can hold the greens. They are a little dry, but putt true. Bunkers are firm, so you need to hit closer to the ball than you would with a normal bunker shot. Staff was excellent!!

Overbooked

Overbooked or just a lot of slow people. Waited on every hole. 2 foursomes on every hole. Slower than normal.

Good, but could be better!

I haven’t play Forty Niners in a few years, but remembered it as a fun course. The majority of fairways are wide and there are plenty of long holes. The greens need some work, they are patchy and super fast. In addition, the course needs to be monitored for play.

Decent

Course is overall decent. Fairways and bunkers in good shape, greens are alright, bare in some spots but overall playable. Lot of blind shots off the tee so a range finder is essential. Good value for the price point. Will play again. Someone let the greenskeeper know to not cut the fringe in the same order people play. Didn’t enjoy waiting 3 minutes to hit my approach shot on the ENTIRE front 9.

Greens are Ridiculous

Overall, course is in good shape. Greens are stupid fast. 3 foot putts turn into 7.foot rolls. Can't hit for the greens, the ball just bounces off.

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the palm trees were blowing in the wind and I couldn't make a putt but it didn't matter because even a day with 3 putts is better than a day at work. From the time we arrived and used the practice area until we left, the staff made us feel welcome, especially Kenny, and it was nice to play 49R again.

The last time I play here

The greens are very inconsistent on iron shot one green will hold the next a 9 iron may bounce 10 yard high. Fairways are mediocre. If you have not played this course before use your range finder before you hit a drive so it doesn’t run through the fairway. The range balls are the worst I have ever hit!
