It was ok

Course is ok. The GPS. originally said we were 11.3 miles from our location.
However it was closer to 30 miles not sure who’s error but some what disappointing.
Our plan wasn’t to travel that far. We wanted to travel as little as possible.

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!

Dog Track

Greens were harder than the parking lot. 1000 divit marks on every green.
Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes extremely overgrown but not horrible.
Round took over 5 hours. Never once saw a Marshal.
I was told the pros used to play tournaments there years ago. How many years ago? 100? Lol
Sorry this is not the place to go tee it up.

Good and bad

Course is in good condition as it normally is, the only issue today was the pace of play. No gap between the groups, every hole had 2 groups waiting to tee off, finally opened up on the back nine as most groups quit after the front nine due to the pace. Took roughly 3 and 1/2 hours to play the front nine, back nine finished in 1 and 1/2 hours. The groups were playing as fast as they could, believe the slow pace caused by scheduling start times too close together. Good thing the weather was nice, and the company was good. I enjoy being on the golf course but 5+ hours to play 18 holes is too long.

Good value

We enjoyed playing, the pace of play was good the greens were very fast,
The fairways were very acceptable, when we landed in the areas of less grass, we just moved,
We were only playing for fun, if your a high end player and a purist for score , make sure you keep it
In the fairways

Tough Green

This course was in mediocre shape. Greens were very sparse making them hard to hold and very fast. Not much grass for as much rain as we have received. Fairways and roughs were pretty good.

Fourty Niner

Always great to golf here. We were paired with two great guys from Oregon. Unfortunately the cold rain ran us off the course. I called GN and was very pleasantly surprised that I would get a credit for the unfinished 9 holes.
Looking forward to going back to Fourty Niner CC again.
