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.

Under Utilized jewel

Played under the twilight regime on a rainy day in June. We showed up a half hour before our 4:30 tee time and were told we could go right out. My wife and I haven't golfed in over 5 years. It was nice not having a bunch of people on the course and the course has its challenges but it is not tricky or narrow. It is a good fair test of your golf skills. We loved it and are considering this as a home course as we get back into golf now that we are retired.

Nice course.. greens in good shape

Unfortunately, the Golf Now reservation did not mention that a "shotgun tournament" started 15 minutes before our scheduled 1:15pm tee time.
6 hours to play is too long

Hadn't played there in quite awhile and was very impressed with course

I Walked in the door and was greated with a smile and a how are you today,good start, got a bucket of balls and was told if we finish them early we could go out a little ahead of our teetime and we did. I was very impressed with the condition of the course, fairways had roll, the rough was not so high i couldn't get out of it, I lucked out and didn't go in any traps but looking at them they looked well maintained, the greens were in awesome shape and rolled true (just wish I could putt true) all in all a very pleasant round of golf and I will be back soon

Very peaceful surroundings, no houses, etc: wildlife and natural setting makes you feel you're away from it all.

This is my favorite course in the area. The experience is always good. Facilities are adequate, clean, and a friendly staff. Simply a great place to play golf.

Overall the course was fun and in great condition

The course was in great condition, the greens were soft and fast enough to make it challenging but not extremely difficult. This was the first time playing the course so there were a few holes I hit incorrect shots but overall the course was fairly straight forward and medium difficulty to play.
The only thing I would try to improve is to add more sand to the traps. Some hazards were very low in sand.

Nice track that we will play again

I met some buddies from Redding and Auburn and I drove 2 hours. We will return. Nice track, greens are in great shape, a little windy, but where isn't? Great deal from GolfNow. Food was good after the round. Driving range with grass is nice. Many many trees provide a nice backdrop, but don't come into play that much.

Breezy Day

It was a little windy, but a nice course to play on a breezy day. Trees minimize wind on the player, but you need to be aware of it for shots going above the tree line.

Beautifully wooded course

Located next to the Sacramento river and Sacramento National Airport this course is lined with trees. It feels like a pleasant walk in the woods. We played during great weather conditions and thoroughly enjoyed the round.

Great Course for Beginners

As a relatively new golfer, Teal Bend is one of my favorite courses. It is challenging enough to make it hard, but not so difficult that takes the fun out of playing. The 17th hole cost me a sheet in balls, so lay up if you are not a long hitter. The course is in very good shape and the greens are great. Staff are very nice and cordial. The martial does a great job on course management.
This is one of my favorite courses in Sacramento

Great deal on a fabulous course

I first played this course ten years ago when I had recently moved to Sacramento. I hadn't been back since, mostly due to the course being out of my usual price range. That's not to say it's an expensive course, but I'm a 25 handicap and I try to avoid spending more than $40 to play golf...at least until I play a little better. On this day, however, I got a fabulous deal to play a wonderful course, so a friend and I took advantage of the offer. The course was a beautiful as I remember. Plenty of trees, wetlands (which can be a source of mosquitos at the wrong time of year) and well-maintained fairways and greens made for an enjoyable afternoon. The greens had been aerated some time ago and weren't completely healed yet. Some small "dimples" still remained and it cost me a stroke or two when putting, but I was playing so poorly that day that it hardly made a difference. The only major drawback to this course is that it sits just outside of Sacramento International Airport, so occasionally you have to deal with a large jet taking off over your head while playing. I only noticed it once or twice...the rest of the time I was just enjoying this beautiful tract. I would recommend the course to anyone if it fits in your budget, and to everyone if they can get a great deal booking through GolfNow like I did.
