Great

Everything was great except when we got back to the parking lot there people launching balls into the parking lot from the driving range. I don't know if it was intentional or not but there were numerous balls in the parking lot and in the 5 minutes it took us to load our clubs 3 balls hit cars. My buddy was nearly hit. This is a dangerous situation.

Some improvement, doing well.

Folks who downgrade this course do so based on uneven conditions, and slow play. I concede those issue. Fairways are bumpy, tees can be splotchy, and because it’s a great winter play value it gets lots of prime time play. Being tree lined and somewhat lengthy with large difficult greens, it can present challenges.
Greens are cut winter short, moderately firm, somewhat sandy, and are torturous putting across or downhill. Bunker sand is good, fairways yield good and some taxing lies. Overall, there are improvements and they should be recognized. Friendly, accommodating staff, and good food and drink as well. I’ve played this course for years, and will continue….enjoy 49er!

Good condition

The course was in very good condition. The greens were super fast so you needed to be below the hole or wave goodbye on your putt lol.

Solid, friendly course

I have played this course twice and have thoroughly enjoyed my rounds. The course is tree lined with each hole set in an attractive setting. On each visit, the staff have been very friendly and helpful guiding newbies around the facilities. Unlike so many local courses, Forty-Niner provides ball washers and drinking water on most holes. Wish more courses did that. Course conditions were in good shape and the pace of play was actually fast. All in all, I recommend playing Forty Niner if you get the chance.

Cement Greens

Fairways well kept, greens literally will not hold your shot. Watched beautiful chips and approach shot bounce off of the green with zero divots. Has potential to be an amazing club but it definitely takes away from the experience when the greens play like a cart path.

Straight forward, but some challenges

The fairways were in good condition, the green not too bad for winter, very fast. Pace of play was ok. Fairways are narrow with trees in play at the margins on some holes. Rough was pretty much good nothing but bare, sandy earth with some gravel but no large rocks. I would play it again

Nice Course for the Money

Play was very slow, albeit it was during the holidays. Course was in pretty good condition, greens needed some attention but, all in all it was a nice course.

Nice

First arrived and they were busy, golfers lining up to start, was worried it was going to be slow playing but was never an issue. Fairways are in good shape, greens were inconsistent, some fast some slow. Fairways are fairly wide so don't need to worry too much about hitting out of bounds. Plenty of trees throughout the course. There are a few par 3 water holes. Weather was absolutely perfect, Another good day golfing...

Great course - just slow

First time playing here. Great course, the greens were really fast. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only wish the marshal would have speed people up or permitted us to play through. Group of 4 in front of us were super slow, we waiting 15 minutes on one hole to even tee off. This course is in a retirement area, I’m 40 and was probably the youngest person there by 20-30 years….
