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.

No great

I have played teal bend a couple times before. Looked forward to a nice round on a beautiful day today. The course was a little bit cow pasteury.
Greens had been punched about 5 days ago. Very upset that the greens situation was noted on golf now when I made reservation. I would not have played
There if I had know that upfront!!! Round moved very quickly but that was because nobody was playing there because of the greens.
All in all, I was very disappointed.

Great value with aerated greens

The value was great! We received a sleeve of Pro V1/ V1x with our round. The greens were just aerated this past Wednesday and were accordingly slow. The rest of the course is in great shape. We played an early Saturday round (7:50AM) and were finished by 11:20AM! he cheeseburgers at the grill were fantastic after our round.

For $60 maintain the bunkers

Played course many times, like it. Its a gorgeous setting, wild and river-ine in feel. Its challenging due to being tight, with lots of hazard, and somewhat slope-y greens. Not a lot of room behind a lot of the greens, too.

This last time had a couple of really bad bunkers--hardpan with very little sand on top. Example: front side bunker on 17. It impossible to hit an actual sand shot out of it. I feel like for $60 there are better values.

Love the course layout, greens were true, friendly staff, and would definitely recommend to friends,

This was my second time playing this course and enjoyed every minute of it, as the first time. The fairways are in great shape and greens are true and well maintaned. The staff in the pro shop is always cordial and welcoming. I highly recommend this course to golfers at any level of play.

Great walk along the river bottom

Weather was great, pace of play exception and the course was in good shape. Greens were tricky and were the main reason for our rather poor scores.

Teal Bend - Water and Mistletoe

Played on Sunday Mar 9th.
Greens were really good.
Pace of play was real good.
Fairways were in between winter and spring with lots dormant grass. Lack of water was apparent.
I'm very concerned with the infestation of mistletoe in the trees. Lots of dying trees that use to be a great back drop surrounding the greens.

Teal Bend

Very nice course, but tough from the tips. It is long, but fair. I played on a day after they received a lot of rain, so I am sure it played longer than normal. Unfortunately, a few of the bunkers did not drain well. The tees, fairways, and greens all seemed to be in pretty good shape though. Definitely worthwhile playing.

Fun Time at The Bend

We really enjoyed our round at Teal Bend. The course was in decent shape considering we hadn't had much rain up to this point. Greens were extremely fast. All in all it was wall worth the money.

Not So Good

The course was half Dead and half actual green stuff. There were tons of mosquitoes. There seemed to be a bunch of regulars who wanted to play the course in three hours. We were rushed though the entire course and at on point the marshal followed us for a couple holes (which made our experience worse). Overall the course was not in the best shape and the people playing there were not very friendly. This was my first time playing here and the last. Hope everything goes well for them.

Good course design

The set up has good variety. The greens were in great shape. The fairways, bunkers, and rough were in poor shape however. A mosquito haven, so bring protection. Average prices for the course are between 50-60 dollars, which considering what you get, makes this overpriced. Worth a look if you've never been, but if you already have, until the fairways, bunkers, and rough come back to life, not so much.

Teal Bend Linkstyle

Winter has escaped Northern CA so far and the golf courses have been the beneficiary. Teal Bend is no exception with bermuda fairways as interstates and greens like stairways. There is no stopping the ball, pure link style fun.
Played last day of year with a gentleman from Napa who was very impressed with Conditions at Teal.Firm and fast led to a challenging day with all clubs but fun and amazement with every shot. Teal played like a wind-swept links course without the wind. I could have used a putter all day with ultimate course conditions.
