About Forty Niner

The staple in the Rincon Valley

Welcome to Forty Niner, a truly unique and vibrant community hub nestled in the heart of Tucson’s scenic Tanque Verde Valley. While our storied 18-hole golf course, designed by the legendary William F. Bell in 1961, remains a cherished part of our heritage, we’ve redefined the country club experience. We believe a club should be more than just a place to play a round; it should be a gathering place, a social center, and a second home for our members and their guests.

Step beyond the fairways and discover a warm, welcoming community where friendships flourish. The heart of the action, a lively restaurant and a bustling bar that serves as a favorite local hangout. Our talented culinary team crafts delicious menus, perfect for a casual lunch after a game or a celebratory dinner with family and friends. The bar is the ideal spot to unwind, share stories, and connect with neighbors over a perfectly poured cocktail or a cold beer.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. We’ve cultivated a vibrant social calendar with something for everyone. From exhilarating live music on the weekends that gets the whole place buzzing to a diverse range of social events, we’re committed to creating a dynamic, engaging atmosphere. 

At Forty Niner, we’ve taken the traditional country club model and transformed it into a modern, inclusive community center. We celebrate our rich history while embracing a new vision where everyone feels welcome. We’re a place to play, to dine, to relax, and to connect. Come see for yourself why we’re not just a country club—we’re a community.
