Forty
Niner Country Club, a William Francis Bell-designed classic, is
an established club on the eastern side of Tucson. The semi-private
facility is inviting to golfers of all skill levels with the traditional
layout and gently rolling terrain which allows members the option
to walk the course. Nestled between the Catalina and Rincon Mountains,
the course meanders along a wooded riverbed with fairways lined
by mature trees and native desert shrubbery. The golf course provides
a visually inviting 18-hole course layout while providing a solid
challenge for all players. Recent course renovations have only improved
an already outstanding experience.
Superb course management is the key to scoring well at Forty Niner
Country Club. Direction off the tee and shot placement are paramount
above distance when embracing the dogleg holes on the course. If
a player is able to master their tee ball, they will have a chance
to find success on the slightly elevated greens.
Mesquite, giant cottonwood, eucalyptus and weeping willow trees
make their presence known along the course and add even more beauty
to Forty Niner Country Club. After facing the course's most difficult
hole early in the round, the par-four fifth hole, players have the
chance make up scoring ground on the inward nine. This nine opens
and closes with par three holes and features a pair of par fives
in the 11th and 15th holes. All in all, Forty Niner Country Club
provides players with an enjoyably relaxed round of golf and should
not be missed when in the Tucson area.
