Made it out to Teal Bend this past week with two work colleagues and wanted to thank those who supplied me with some good tips before playing there. And yes, the road to Teal Bend is quite an adventure as you have to exit the highway at the airport and then navigate some roundabouts before getting there, but once you do, it's pretty nice. The property itself is pretty great as there are no houses around the course whatsoever and absolutely every hole is framed by forest and colorful autumn nature. We experienced a myriad of weather patterns on the day so we saw the course at its best and worse from that standpoint. It's not what I would consider terribly narrow, but most every hole has lost ball potential if you go too far right or left. There's just no finding balls in that thicket. But the layout is very fun and engaging and really a good but fair test of golf. Unfortunately the current conditions sort of let the rest of the scenery all down as it's not in optimum shape at the moment. The fairways are good, far from great, but have lots of thinner areas despite all the precipitation up there. The greens were mostly okay but many had piles of dirt core samples around them from a rather annoying apron punch that wasn't cleared. Often approach shots or chips would not reach the green thanks to this and that was frustrating. Bunkers were actually mostly in good shape with lots of fluffy sand on the holes that I encountered, but as it had rained the past days, a few of them were a bit on the grainy side and one or two even had some standing water left. The rough was hard to find as most of the holes had just fairway and wilderness, but where it was, it was good and playable. Tee boxes (we played the blue-white combo) were mostly all good. Would absolutely love to play this place again in perfect summer conditions. POP was okay as we got out a bit early thanks to the starter after around twenty minutes on the quite nice (and grass) driving range, but the group in front of us was not exactly setting the world afire with their pace, but it wasn't enough to be too upset about. We played the round in about four and a half hours at the end of the day - perfectly okay. With a greens fee of only $57 though, it was all well worth it. Again, would love to come back here when it's prime and really enjoy all it has to offer. It's a good day out if you get there, but hopefully they clear up those dirt core piles soon!

Played 10/15, 10:20 tee time. Warm fall day, course was in nice shape. A handful of wet areas in fairway, and a few small patches of GUR in out of the way areas, but nothing that impacted play. Fairways and rough generally in nice shape overall. Tee boxes had a few uneven spots and some areas a bit chewed up with divots. Greens were rolling true and looking good after recent aeration. Still a bit sandy, but recovered nicely and weren't overly quick. Pace was fine, got around in 4:40 or so with a stop at the turn. Course is one of the best layouts in the area, with natural areas (red stakes) interspersed between each fairway along every hole. Bring a few extra golf balls. Grass range and great short game practice area as well. Good value and one of my favorite tracks in the area. Worth the visit every time.

Played 2/3 Wed, 7:40 tee time, 3:20 round as a 2 some. Rained previous 2 days pretty good, maybe a 18 hour reprieve before tee time. This is my go to public course when it rains, as it drains phenomenally well. The great majority of the course was mostly dry. A few soft spots in the rough. Fairways completely playable. Greens a little soft, and moderately fast (10 on the stimp). Only a handful of bunkers with standing water. The 1 greenside bunker I was in was perfectly fluffy (plugged). Nice cold morning. Covid: cups were with no lift, so that was annoying after being so used to not having to reach down all the way to the bottom of the cup. Nice round of golf

Second round of my golf weekend with an old Vegas work buddy on Saturday, 11/9/19, at 1050 am on a warm, sunny day with almost no wind. We played with a MeetUp group he belongs to and played Whites in just over 4 hours. Rudyclub’s recent review hits the high points. Greens were punched several weeks ago and had healed well – greens had good coverage and rolled well at medium+ speed.

There is a nice 3-tierd grass driving range with assorted targets. Basic carts, and no GPS, but a yardage book is available, and most fairways have 200/150/100 markers. Plenty of divot mix available, refill rack at the turn, and boxes of mix on the par-3 tees. Recommended for a casual round.

Played 11/3/19 10:50 POP 4.5 hrs.
Course is in overall decent shape. fairways had a mostly dormant look, but played fine with mostly good coverage. Mix of green and tan. Greens rolled ok and receptive. Many small sick or old divot spots mixed around the greens, but caused few issues. Only found two traps and both mostly firm. Fun layout in decent shape.

Played Fri 10/18, 8:50am. 4 hr rd. Course in decent, very playable shape. Greens running a quick 10. Course in better than average muni shape with some areas of struggle, but overall in good shape. Bunkers hit or miss. I usually enjoy myself here, and this day was no exception.

On the way back to the SAC airport, we usually stop to play Teal as we enjoy the layout here. Played 8/18, had a 10:50 time with two other friends. Couldn’t find any online deals so $68 was our fee which is a bit steep for this course but we definitely wanted to play. Very nice guys in the club house and they got us out a few minutes early following a ladies 4 some. I think this course is in really good condition right now. Bermuda fairways were good. Some brown/dead spots but not many. For the most part green with lots of roll out. Bunkers were in good shape with soft sand and could have easily plugged. The tee boxes were a bit shaggy but no big deal. The rough was also shaggy in a lot of areas. Greens were in good shape and rolling nice and smooth however there were many un-repaired ball marks. I repaired at least 2-3 fresh divots in addition to my own on just about every green. Clearly still an ongoing problem as they have a basket of divot tools on the #10 green encouraging golfers to take and use them. Pace of play was a bit slower than usual, about 4:30. The ladies in front us kept up but the group ahead of them did not. I thoroughly enjoy playing here. Nice layout completely enclosed and bordered by large trees through the greens. Pretty scenic really. Right next to the SAC airport, we usually hear the jets but not on this day. Peaceful on this day. They’re scheduled to aerate the greens at the end of this month but definitely recommend and worth a stop.
