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.

Kudos to grounds keeper and friendly staff

Course was in very good shape especially given hot weather and drought. Really plush fairways and greens were best in town. Tough but interesting pin placements.

Don't Miss the Opportunity

My wife and I played on Monday (Memorial Day Weekend) on the way home to Reno from Sonoma. I had played Teal Bend 2 weeks ago for the first time and told my wife we had to play it en route home. She loved it as much as I. Great course; playable yet challenging. Wish I lived closer. Don't miss the chance to play it if available.

beautiful course layout

Course was beautiful. Lots of large trees providing shade. Greens were in very good shape, undulating which provided a challenge to read. Food in restaurant was very good. Staff very friendly. Starter let us go out an hour early, which was great! Wild turkeys provided some entertainment while on the course.

Teal Bend

We played an early round and felt like we had a private course reserved for us. It was beautifully manicured with a great layout. My new favorite "local" course. My only suggestion weeks be to improve the food service in the club house. Quality was ok but too slow if you want to grab a quick snack at the turn.

Best Score**84***

One of my favorite courses in Sacramento Area. I play at least once a month. Staff great course in good shape a few of the greens have a lot of ball marks. Come on people!!! it's not that hard they have a picture step by step on how to properly do it on the cart. Feels like your on your own course each hole secluded. The large fairways are lined with trees. Did not try the food so didn't give rating. Sunday afternoon pace of play excellent

great setting

play here once a year and enjoy it every time. great setting with each hole all by it' self. I almost felt as though I were some where else in the country. the greens rolled very well considering that they were punched not to long ago. Fairways have gererous landing areas. I did not feel intimidated by this course as it was vary flat, the fairways rolled very long. I liked the fact that the starter had us wait till the group in front of us was on the green before we teed off, great idea. Looking forward to playing here again.

very good

The course was in very good condition. I do not understand, why close to Easter week, management of the course decided to aerate the greens. I am not the management but believe they are losing many vacation players etc due to this. Staff on and off the course were wonderful.

Teal Bend airport

If jet engines don't distract your concentration, golf Teal Bend. The course is located a short distance from Sacramento International Airport, and on a few holes you can see the jets parking/landing.

The course offers mature trees and roughs. There is water, undulation, dog-leg fairways, and challenging par-3s.

We had a foursome, and enjoyed the experience. We ordered a good lunch from the 9th tee. Overall, a good experience.

To be expected

Due to a lack of winter rain this course is seeing a decline in the fairway conditions. I think this will be par for the course at many golf courses in california.
