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.

The course as built is excellent

The fairways are sparse and the sand traps are firm however the greens are very firm and downhill putts are very very fast

Much improved, worth a try if its been a while

Love this course & layout. Especially for winter, very good conditions. Since last time I played, they have re-habbed many sand traps, really wonderful to see! Greens were super fast and in good shape.

Only gripe: 5+ hours for the round! Ineffectual marshals--not sure what they are doing out there, but they aren't keeping the pace up.

Great winter condition with excellent greens.

We played Teal Bend(TB) and for winter time, the course was in great shape. We also loved the green conditions as very pure and fast.

The linkish style layout is really a lot of fun with many bunkers which were also nice. Pace of play was a little slow due to one group

and course representative Jason apologized for the delays. I have always found TB a great course to play. Watched the 49er game after round and enjoyed a good lunch and beverages also. Another plus about TB is it's practice facility. Definitely look forward to playing there again.

The Teal reveal

Teal Bend is an 18 hole course situated just to the west of Sacramento International Airport. Every hole is Beautifully lined with willow trees that isolates each hole from the others giving a feeling of a nature walk. The fairways are wide enough with fairly large greens The greens are well maintained with good undulation. Teal Bend offers a well thought out track giving golfers of all abilities a good challenge to their game.

First Time Playing

Rude Players.

I was the second person to tee off. There was a foursome in front of me who refused to let me play through. There was n Marshall. They were painfully slow. Waiting to pick out clubs until others had hit their shots, playing from the blues when they had no business doing it, etc.

after waiting 20 minutes to hit my shot into the green on number 6 I went back to the pro shop and asked that they either talk to the group about etiquette or please give me a refund a it had taken nearly 2 hours to play 6 holes as a single. The guy at the pro shop said there was nothing he could do
