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 course, nice challenge, but fairways need work, practice tees on the grass need to be moved

Love this course. Nice challenge, good length, fast greens. But the fairways a bit dry with patches of grass. Need some work on this real bad. Practice facilities are awesome from grass tees, large undulating green, bunkers w/ balls everywhere to use. But the practice tees were so worn out, dry & full of divots, we joked on the course how we surely know how to hit this shot because of the fairway conditions. Anyway, will return again another time of year to compare.

Nice Course, Friendly Staff

Enjoyed playing at Teal Bend on a beautiful, sunny and slightly windy day. Pace was slow, 5 hour round, likely due to the nice weather on a Wednesday morning.

Look forward to playing here again, nice course at a great value!

Nice Muni Track

Really been enjoying Teal bend this month. First the good; Staff are friendly and helpful. They have Marshals that actually try and help on the course and keep you updated. Only all grass driving range in the region. The course is very fun, and just challenging enough that you get your moneys worth. The bad, as with all Muni courses is the pace of play. Two of the last three times we played, we were advised play was delayed to Juniors or a tournament. This is completely unacceptable, as this is a known circumstance, and should not happen.

The green was just aerated maybe 3 or 4 weeks before so it was a little to sandy but outside of that the course was beautiful. The corse set up is pretty open but long, second shot is key. The pace of play very slow, it took us 5.5 hrs to finish.
