Length 7035 yards

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.

Pace of play Subpar

The course conditions were great. Freshly mowed, true rolling greens. Pace of play was pretty bad for being a 7:00am tee time. There was a 4 some that was walking that had everyone backed up. There were 4 groups on/waiting on hole #3. Took 5 hours to complete all 18 holes with substantial wait time at every tee box. Marshall should’ve been on top of the group walking in my opinion.

Course is in rough shape for this time of year

Bunkers are a mess, greens are full of marks, fairways generally lacking grass. It’s spring!

Good course

One of the few courses that still maintain their bunkers. Only course around that didn’t have cart restrictions on 3/15. Always head to this course right after heavy rain.
