About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7035 yards
Slope 132
Rating 73.6

Teal Bend Golf Club runs alongside the Sacramento River, enjoying a lush landscape covered in natural wetlands. One of the characteristics the course is known for is its stunning scenery, which works against the challenging layout by being almost too distracting. All of your attention will have to be focused on successfully maneuvering past the mature trees and natural rough areas that sit along the edges of the undulating greens and narrow, winding fairways. Long hitters will enjoy this golf course, which stretches to 7,000 yards from the back tees. There are also some interesting risk/reward holes that will appeal to both low and high handicappers, which is why it is one of Sacramento's most popular public courses. The well maintained driving range is also a popular feature at Teal Bend Golf Club.

Fun &difficult, BUT….

Good layout and good practice area. Recommend offering push carts for walkers. BUT the pace of play was awful. We saw a Marshall on #11 who said he identified the slow group and spoke to them. Said he would follow up but did not and pace never improved. If pace is important to you, be warned

Good Shape

The course is in pretty good shape. Pace of play was good. Greens are nice. Just a little hot due to how the Bermuda grass the retains moisture.

Pleasant

Overall, I enjoyed the day and for the price point I have no complaints. Yes, things could be in better condition but it’s still a fun atmosphere lots of pollen in the air, though if you struggle with that.

Course play way too slow

The course of play was way too slow. Took over 5+ hours to finish 18 holes. Newcomers cutting us off at the 10th hole when they should start on the 1st hole.

Nice course, generally well maintained

The course was in great condition and ther pace of play was perfect. Wide open fairways but if you miss one, the ball is gone lol. Thick brush and trees all over. Very enjoyable round. The place is a bit overpriced ($81 for prime time) for the amenities. Carts are old and basic, but the place has a nice ambiance.
