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.

Great way to spend a fall afternoon

This course is perfect for guys who like to walk and tote their bags. It is not perfectly flat but situated between the levy of the Sacramento River and Sacramento's International Airport. most of the undulations were man made.. Playing from the back tees can make this course very challenging as there are trees, sand, on all holes and water on several..I was impressed by the speed and condition of the greens, after the long hot summer we had this year.. This course gives the player who, plays from the correct tees, a chance to make par on every hole.. As well as penalizing for truly errant shots.

Good course along the Sacramento River.

The usual good outing at Teal Bend, but they had recently aerated the greens without notification to the public (that I knew of) so they were not in good shape. Still, with good weather, Teal is a fun course for recreational golfers.

great price, the green's on the front nine were a bit worn, clearly critters run across them , the back nine were perfect. The T boxes were in poor shape, so I ended up using a tee even on the par 3.s

My New Local Course

Overall I liked playing the course. It's definitely starting to look like fall there. There are a lot of trees, but they don't hinder play at all. It has some very challenging holes laid out throughout the 18 holes. The greens are in good shape and rolling true and somewhat quick. I definitely plan on going back again, especially if this weather holds out longer.

Great course

Great course.. some greens are showing signs of wear with bare spots and dried grass. The fairways were in great shape. I like the real sand in the bunker, very nice. I will definitely play again. Staff was friendly.

Great layout but greens are in fair condition

We were really surprised by the green conditions at the coarse. They all have a significant number of large gouges/ballmarks. After the first few holes I really got tired of fixing ballmarks. I would not pay their prime time tee price with greens in this condition. Fairways were good condition, but numerous sand traps had no sand and were hard packed dirt. They were very hard to get out of with their high lips. Pro shop and restaurant staff were great . I hope Teal Bend will address these issue as the course is a great layout.

Always a challenging and enjoyable course

This time the greens were punched a week ago. They gave us a 39% discount. We had a very enjoyable round and appreciate their friendly generosity.
