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.

Good conditions & layout

Always love playing Teal. Great staff. Nice snack place. The course is usually in good conditions. Usually a good fairway lie & the greens are always fast & true and in great conditions. They finally moved the practice tees on the driving range (grass btw), so you don't stand in holes & had grass to hit off of (thanks guys!). Excellent practice green (2 of them) & incredible bunker facility. Just a great place to practice & have a good round. Can't wait to return.

Great course, good conditions

Love playing Teal Bend. Usually good conditions and the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable & professional. Conditions today were good, but the greens were excellent. I hit a couple bunkers, one was nice & fluffy, one a bit hard but although raked nicely (be sure to dig your feet in to check). But can't wait to get back & play it again.

Course is over saturated with water on fairways and greens

Way too much water on the course. Greens are in decent shape a little shaggy. It was warm that day and all water stations on the back 9 were empty! The Ranger could care less , not his job to pick up the radio notify someone?? Place has seen better days.

Pitch Mark City on the greens

The course was in decent condition but I believe the greens were a little over watered which leaves a deep pitch mark that people don't fix.. Result bumpy greens. Also they should cut people off an the alcohol when they can't even retrieve the tee without falling.

Great Course

Course was in great condition. A couple of the greens were a little rough from others not fixing their ball marks but other than that was great. A few mosquitos first thing in the morning.

Hard course. Really fun

Teal is a difficult course especially when the wind is blowing and the greens are fast. But you can be proud of a solid score here
