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.

This course is beautiful! Everything from the staff to the layout to pace of play to course maintenance was at perfect 10! Also.. being a big fan of watching planes and having the airport right there is always nice. Luckily we had the air force doing touch and goes all day so we were able to see jets to massive c17 planes. It was absolutely beautiful. Oh yea.. and the leaves changing this time of year is right around the corner. We noticed the trees are just starting to turn that bright yellow and orange toward the tips of the trees so I cannot wait to go in a couple or few weeks so I’m able to see it again. If you have never played here it is definitely worth the drive. Your welcome in advance.🤝🏼

Marshall

Had a 1:00 tee time- we were paired with another twosome. At 1:00 the other twosome was not present at the tee. So my buddy and I teed off. At the conclusion of the second hole, the Marshall asked us to stop and wait for the twosome- who teed off late and were a hole behind (I’ll also add there was no groups in front of us). We waited 15 minutes. The group got to us- we explained what the Marshall said. We played one hole with them- they asked us to keep playing on our own as we were too fast for them. Marshall saw us on hole 8- she wasn’t happy but allowed us to keep playing.

First Time Playing

Solid Place to try out

Start by saying that when you book an Tee time here plan on the pace of play being extremely slow . This was my first time playing so perhaps I just got unlucky . 5 hrs to finish a round though is far too long . I would had hoped that the Marshall would had been more dedicated to keeping players playing along . The course itself was better than your average public course but nothing special . The greens were well maintained though . Id say this is a good place for an high handicap golfer to have solid opportunities to score and build confidence . Consider the time of year and how good the fairways still are after a hot summer you can tell that this course takes pride in the conditions of the course . Overall very solid and decent bang for your bucks .

Course is in excellent shape

Teal Bend is a very good layout in excellent shape. Not overwatered like many other courses in the area (in response to very hot summer). Green fairways with moderate runout but not soft; greens and tee boxes in very good shape. Usually the winter 'go to' course since it drains so well but a great place to play now. Very fair course; a few tight fairways and trouble around the greens but you can score well if accurate and be punished if not. Pace was good, practice facilities are very good.
