Forty-Niner Country Club

The scorecard reads from the back tees it is 6669 but it plays much shorter due to the hard fairways and greens. The ball really rolls out on the fairways and greens. Some of the holes have a significant downhill portion which also shortens the course. Played on an extremely windy day and the wind also played a factor in many of the holes.

Greens were horrible. Like they had no grass. Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes had grass but it was like teeing up in the rough. Needed to be mowed. The course itself is a good layout .

The main problem was the horrible condition of the greens. Fairways and tee areas were ok.

Greens were very very hard. Iron shots even with a sand wedge bounced and rolled off the greens.

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.

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

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.

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.
