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.

Slow

People need to know it’s okay to loose a golf ball. Your continuous looking after almost every shot screws it ip for everyone behind you.

Please be considerate it’s not nice having us bunch up on tee ,via COVID, and you trying to find your lost /OB ball. 5 hours was nuts

New sand

Played under 63 degree weather and a sunny day. Course was in good shape with new sand in most of the bunkers. They had rakes on almost all the holes but seems most players are still playing COVID rules and not raking. Tee boxes were fine, greens were really good. Fairways have some dormant spots as usual. All in all good conditions for winter.

Cold weather
Used cart

Cold Weather was the Only Issue

Played Teal Bend on one of the first cold days of the season,. When I checked in, they sent us right out to the first tee, so I had no time to warm up. After a couple of holes, I noticed I was losing about 5-10 yards on my shot because of the cold air.....and lack of warmup. In any case, the course was in good shape, and greens were smooth but a bit slow. Club house and beverage cart had coffee and Baileys to help keep us warm through round.

Not their best

I’ve played here several times. Course was in terrible shape. Tee boxes and fairways not mowed, greens looked like the holes haven’t been changed in several days. Very disappointed not what I expected.
