Forty Niner Country Club

Forty Niner Country Club opened in 1959, designed by Red Lawrence — one of the pioneering golf course architects of the American Southwest. The semi-private club in south Tucson has been a local favorite for over sixty years, offering affordable desert golf with mountain views and a welcoming community atmosphere.

The mature layout features established desert vegetation that has grown in over six decades, creating defined corridors and a settled, classic feel uncommon in the newer resort-style courses that dominate the Tucson market.
