Golf at Forty Niner
A classic William Francis Bell-designed golf course nestled between the Catalina and Rincon Mountains.
About the Course
Established in 1961, Forty Niner, also known as Forty Niner Country Club, is a classic William Francis Bell-designed golf course nestled between the Catalina and Rincon Mountains. The semi-private facility is inviting to golfers of all skill levels, with a traditional layout and gently rolling terrain that allows for the option to walk the course. The fairways are lined by mature trees and native desert shrubbery, creating a visually inviting 18-hole course layout that provides a solid challenge for all players. Superb course management is essential for scoring well at Forty Niner. Direction off the tee and shot placement are more important than distance, as many holes feature doglegs and elevated greens. Players who can master their tee shots will have a chance to score well on this challenging course. Mesquite, giant cottonwood, eucalyptus, and weeping willow trees line the course, adding to its beauty. The par-four fifth hole is the course’s most difficult, but players have a chance to make up ground on the inward nine. Forty Niner is a relaxing and enjoyable round of golf that should not be missed when in the Tucson area.

- The 90-Degree Rule – Designed to minimize wear and tear on turf, it calls for you to keep the cart on the path until you can turn at a right angle to your ball.
