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.

Not worth what they are charging

If the course was in better condition it would be worth the price.

nice and quiet

Despite having Sacramento Airport right there, this was one of the quietest courses I have played at. Well maintained all the way around.

Nice Layout, little grass

This place in the past may have been really nice. But it looks like droughts over the years have made it hard to get grass onto the course. Lots of dry areas, fairway is cut really low, so ball runs a few extra yards. Greenside bunkers have sand, some other spots, not so much. It's a nice layout, no doubt, but not worth a 2nd or 3rd trip from where I live. Good to play once, would play again if they were able to get some more grass.

Nice Track

It's February so conditions were not the best. The fairways were pretty ragged but the greens were excellent! It's a fun course and can play to any skill level.

A quality golf experience. Excellent greens.”

One of the best places open to play even when other courses are too wet.Teal really drains well.bunkers have new sand. The gale-force winds dropped lots of tree shut staff has done great job clearing the debris. Also has outstanding practice areas.

Teal Bend is good option year around; great winter option

Played about a week after significant rains that would’ve brought many courses to their knees but it plays as if it’s summertime with normal roll, no mud, etc. Staff is very friendly and they have a good practice facilities and course is interesting and fair. You can score well if you stay in the fairway; if not it will penalize you. Greens rolled well. Highly recommend especially during winter.
