Length 7035 yards

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.

Course was In Great Shape

It has been over a year since I played Teal Bend. The course was in great shape. The driving range was a bit beat up, though I was happy to see that it did not translate onto the course. Fairways and greens were well taken care of; they even have a basket of divot repair tools at the 1st green as a reminder to repair your divots.

Everything you've heard is true

What a pleasant surprise. As noted by others, this course has a great layout. The course sits between Sacramento Airport and the Sacramento river.

Plane traffic is directed away from the course, so is not a noise concern. The holes are all separated from each other by trees. With 10 minute tee intervals, you hardly ever see other golfers.

The fairways are extremely wide, giving plenty of room for errant drives. Greens run true.

All in all, a great experience. Worth a replay next time I am in Sacramento

Excellent layout and greens; welll maintained; challenging

Enjoyed a round of golf at Teal Bend. Excellent layout and greens are in excellent condition. It's a well maintained and challenging course. I love the wooded setting. The trees have matured. I played Teal Bend over 15 years ago, so it was like playing this course for the first time. The mature trees have made this course so picturesque and beautiful. I played well too, so it was a great experience.

Fun course to play! Reasonably challenging and pace of play was good, even with tournament playing behind us.

Facilities were fair due to Corona virus.

Mehhh

I play Teal about 3 times per year (Spring, Summer, Fall) and have been for a number of years. Most recent round the course was probably worse condition I've seen. It was pretty disappointing given the cost. Hope they address this as it's always been a good track and pace of play has always been pretty good.

Almost Perfect

Staff is friendly. Checking in and getting ready to play is easy. The tee boxes and greens are in great shape. The fairways are a little crunchy probably due to the heat, but certainly playable.

The true greatness lies in the layout. Every hole is tree lined and you never see or rarely hear another group on the course. Moreover, there is distance Through the trees between each green and the next tee box So the course is saying, “ Here is our next offering. Very enjoyable and unique in Northern California on a public course.
