Forty Niner Golf & Country Club

3.7

Played on Dec. 22nd Early morning frost forced the course to be sloooooow play all day. I MUST give the STAFF (STARTER) Kudos much appreciated CREDIT for matching up as many players as possible! Every group out on the 1st tee was a FOURSOME. Luckily, there were some cancellations which helped out the situation. This course at one time was site of the Tucson Open during the 1960's. It is a tight narrow golf course but does have holes where you can let out the driver & not pay a price (rough). I highly recommend this layout which plays around some very large ranch properties, some beautiful scenery! Unfortunately, some time ago, the GOLF CART Barn had burned down & ALL the carts were lost in the fire! The replacement carts have seen better days, don't expect a GPS system either. *BRING your hand held GPS or laser guns* The sprinkler heads are marked for yardages most of the time. The greens seemed tricky to put on, they looked fast were actually very slow. PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE BUNKERS!!! The bunkers are so hard, it's like hitting out of concrete...NO fluffy lies here, BEST to chip out VS . taking actual sand. PRACTICE Range: NO DRIVERS-NO WOODS ALLOWED....ONLY iron shots to hit from actual grass. We'll be back the next time we visit Tucson, AZ
