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.

Good Challenge!

This course was very challenging. The fairways are fairly narrow so good tee shots are a must. The layout was very nice and the course conditions were excellent. The greens were in fantastic shape (although I wish more golfers would clean up their ball marks) and rolled very nicely. The staff could not be any more helpful or friendly. My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon at Teal Bend! Great conditions, great staff, great price, great golf. What more could a golfer want?

A pleasant surprise

Driving on the back road past the Sac airport on a tiny road was worrying. Driving up and seeing an outdated clubhouse made me have second thoughts. Then the golf course redeemed it's self.

I joined a group of three locals so I played their tees. The whites plays short, but the pace of play was good as the guys in my group were high handicappers. The course condition for the weather was surprisingly in very good shape. As usual with most public courses, there were fair amount of poorly repaired divots and some not repaired. The fairways were tight so another 20 - 30 yard is gained off of drives. The layout was challenging with few 'go for it' holes, but also had some dog legs in both directions to challenge both left and right handed golfers. I'm still kicking my self for hitting a very reachable par 5 17. Overall a good experience and course I'll definitely play again on my next business trip to the area.

Processing fee

The discount deal was very good, but once you add the processing fee, it becomes going rate. I thought that cost was too much.

First Time Here

Very friendly. Would play here again. Overall I thought the course was pretty golfer friendly. The only downside was I only seen the golf cart girl once out of 18 holes. But it was also late in the afternoon. But, I will be going back again.

A very solid golf course reasonably close to central Sacramento. Greens are a bit shaggy, but not out of the norm for a course that sees a lot of play.

Great course

The coursee was in great condition. One of the things that I love about this course is that every hole seems like it's own little course. You don't see the other fairways or greens. It is a challenging but fun course for me an intermediate level player. I have played many of the courses in the Sacramento area and this is definately one of my favorites.

Never Again

On a day when it was 106°+, Teal Bend had NO WATER ON THE BACK NINE!!!! There was more water slopping around on the muddy fairways and rough than available to players--if only we could drink from the muddy pools of water.

Furthermore, there was not a single staff member on the course for the entire round--no marshall, no food cart, AND NO WATER TO DRINK!!! This was unhealthy, dangerous, and a lawsuit waiting to happen. Clearly this course cares little about their clients.

Needless to say, I will never play there again!!!!!
