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.

The lock down has given this course a rest. It was in immaculate conditions. Greens were pristine.

Very Organized

Given the existing Coronavirus situation, the course was very prepared to handle it. The check in was very well coordinated from acknowledging our reservation, advising of location of golf carts and scorecards located on a table right in front of the check in desk. Social distancing was practiced and there were minimal touch points throughout the course. Pace of play was just right. We never felt backed up by the group in front of us nor were we pushed by the group behind us. Our threesome played the 18 holes in 3 hours and 45 minutes. I don't know if they were selling food due to the virus concerns so I can't judge the quality of that.

Great Golf Course

Great Golf course for an afternoon game. However, for some reason, they do not sell alcohol right now. Just Gatorade, etc.

Teal Bend

The course was in excellent condition and the fairways are very wide so you have a good opportunity to hit the greens in regulation.It was a fun course to play and we finished in under 4 hours. Each player had their own cart.

Teal Bend in the time of Covid19

We had a great time. The staff made it very easy to get started and it is a good course. The greens and the fairways are a bit furry, but all in all this is one that I would definitely play again.

Watch out for 17! Make sure you know where you're going before your hit your shot.

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
