I played this course over a decade ago, and I remembered Winchester as one of the best courses I had played in the area. I was not disappointed when we played; the layout, conditions, amenities and the staff were great.

The course is a hidden gem outside Auburn. You find out right away on holes 1 & 2 the challenges you'll face on the course: fairway bunkers; creeks going across the fairways; trees; hillside lies; fast sloped greens. It's a beautiful and enjoyable course that you will need to think about your shot selections.

I continue to enjoy playing this course. Its a fun track, facility is good, and the staff are awesome. They take care of you whether you are in the clubhouse, at the beverage cart or in the bar/restraurant.

Played Teal Bend on one of the first cold days of the season,. When I checked in, they sent us right out to the first tee, so I had no time to warm up. After a couple of holes, I noticed I was losing about 5-10 yards on my shot because of the cold air.....and lack of warmup. In any case, the course was in good shape, and greens were smooth but a bit slow. Club house and beverage cart had coffee and Baileys to help keep us warm through round.

This was a practice round before several of our group plays in a tournament. The course was in good shape; the staff is friendly; they are COVID-19 compliant to keep everyone safe; the practice areas of the range, putting green and chipping area are excellent; and the food and beverages are awesome.

It has been over a year since I played Teal Bend. The course was in great shape. The driving range was a bit beat up, though I was happy to see that it did not translate onto the course. Fairways and greens were well taken care of; they even have a basket of divot repair tools at the 1st green as a reminder to repair your divots.
