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.

Poor customer service

Upon arriving we had the hot deals from golf now. We ask if we could go out early since the course was empty and the staff treated us poorly because we had a great deal versus just saying the could not. Really left a bad taste in our mouth and the restaurant was no better spending more time or their cell phones them customers

Fall colors and great course

This course has a great layout and the GolfNow hotdeal made it incredible. This course is a tactical course that is fun to navigate. The front 9 pace was right on, the back 9 took an extra 30 min. The course was in good shape, although the greens were a little rough.

Good conditions

I thought the course was in excellent shape for having to deal with the drought conditions. The greens were like pillows they were so receptive. Perhaps a few bucks overpriced, but this was a nice track. I would recommend for anyone looking to golf in the Sacramento area.

Incredible time

This was our first time playing and coming from Reno it was definitely worth the drive. Course was in great condition, we teed off at 1:00 and were pulling off the 18th green by 4:15. Great pace of play. Already working on arranging another trip down from Reno to play Teal Bend and maybe another course in the area.

Beal is not my cup of tea

I play Beal once in a while: I'll forget how forgettably uninteresting this course is, and then I'll play it again. My memory is getting worse as I grow older. The course was in very good shape, except for the greens, and that's because so many of its patrons do not fix ball marks. The course itself is boring; there may 3 holes which provoke any thought and make you say, "Well, this is an interesting hole." It's located in a flat section of land between the river and the airport, and all that lack of contour just saps my enjoyment.

Wait to swing

Beautiful day, beautiful golf course. Unfortunately no notice that I would be following a tournament.

Having to wait on every shot ruined a really nice day. Sorry Teal Bend, but it could have been a really good review had you been forthcoming with the info regarding pace of play.

Nice course with lots of surprises!

Played Teal Bend Sunday and found it quite nice! it was 83 degrees and comfortable for the most part (I sweat very easily). I played with 3 others that had local knowledge of the course and it helped me tremendously. The par 3's are fair a reachable 4's, and 5's decent, but Teal has a lot of doglegs. Hole #17 should have been my bragging hole, but by this time my driver went south and I had to take a drop penalty. Overall tremendous course fairways cut, and green rolled true, and very well maintained for the green fee paid. Good job Teal Bend!

This is a hidden gem, the course has a fun and interesting layout. IT is fun and challenging. Given the hot weather the course was in great shape. Also, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
