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.

Obnoxious Marshall

We were harassed by a course marshal who wanted us to speed up, although for 18 holes we didn’t see anyone behind us. We were somewhat slow because they paired us with a couple of women who were more interested in their social life than their golf game.

Better Soon ??

The course is in pretty good condition considering the time of year. The greens are nice and the ball rolls well on them. A little fast which is good. The fairways need to grow so you get a nicer lie.

Course in excellent condition after all recent rain

The staff are generally friendly and inviting. I real like the course layout. Each hole is interesting. For a busy day the pace of play was very good. Slowed down on a few hole, but not too long. Enough time to allow the group ahead to hit their second shot. The course was surprisingly dry, which was a good thing for the area. Many of the other courses are a mud pit.

Mosquito day!

Well as always Teal Bend is a fun track, mosquitoes exceptionally bad today … wow standing on the 18th tee there was literally no exaggeration there was a mosquito for every 2-3 ft up and down! I teed off at 11:10, th group in front of us was not only terrible players which honestly I don't care but dang the loud obnoxious language, waiting on every tee box until the next group was on the tee???? Theybsaidbthr group in front of them were “walkers” and it slow!!! No it was them and the marshall would not speak to them in fear… these guys were your absolute nightmare of a group. In the last part three there were two groups waiting. I stood in th 18th fairway being eaten alive for wait for it…. 16 minutes!!!!!! Indont know wtf they were doing but…..oh well

In good shape

For the amount of rain we received early this week the course was in good shape. Some muddy areas but very playable otherwise. 👍🏻👍🏻 to the course superintendent

Clubhouse Restaurant

The course was fine. The fairways were are little ragged and bare in some areas. I think the rainy weather has taken its toll. It was a bit disappointing that the clubhouse bar/restaurant closed before 5pm right when our round concluded. My group was hoping to enjoy a beer afterwards and catch up like we usually do after playing golf. The representatives were pretty firm on the stance that the clubhouse was closing. I am of the opinion that they should stay open for the golfers who are finishing later in the day.
