Whitney Oaks Golf Club
About
Whitney Oaks Golf Club in Rocklin sits just half an hour from Sacramento but the stunning landscape blanketed with thousands of live oaks feels much more secluded. In addition to the trees, massive granite outcroppings accent the course. It is both a visually stunning and formidable championship layout. The diverse topography is the focus, providing many challenges with the elevation changes and towering trees that line the narrow fairways. The rolling topography helped to determine the placement of the bunkers. Wetlands come into play throughout the golf course, also serving as home to numerous varieties of indigenous wildlife. The golf course finishes with a tough hole, a long par 5 that is flanked by wetlands on both the left and right. Whitney Oaks G.C. also has a practice facility with a 15-station driving range, a putting green, and pitching area.

No What Expected
Fairways were not in very good shape. Course is very hilly with limited flat lies. Probably will not play this course again.
Great conditions for the time of year
Playing in the winter, you expect the course to be a bit rough and wet. The conditions were fantastic, no wet spots, allowed to drive in the fairways. Great conditions!
Challenging
Love this course with all the different holes. It was like we were the only ones on the course
Hello, u926161977. Thank you for visiting us at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Hi, u314161881057. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Great Course, Very Slow Play
I always enjoy playing Whitney Oaks, no matter how poorly I am playing (or balls I lose).
Unfortunately, this round was hindered by extremely slow play. What is usually a 4 to 4.5 hour round was extended to about 5 hours and 30 minutes.
Of course, I will definitely return to Whitney Oaks, but I am hopeful the next time the pace is so slow, a course marshal will step in and encourage quicker play.
We apologize for the slow pace of play during your round at Whitney Oaks Golf Course. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your continued support and feedback.
Nice course, slow play
I’ve played here several times and enjoy the course layout. It’s challenging and forces you to think your way around each hole. Unfortunately, the pace of play was dreadful. Starting around the 3rd hole there were 2-3 foursomes waiting on each tee box. By the time we finished 9 holes, about 2 hours and 45 minutes later, I decided to call it a day because it’s just not enjoyable playing that slow. Not a good way to spend $75. I wasn’t the only one either. I saw a few others in the parking lot doing the same thing, guys I was chatting with from other groups that I met while we were waiting on every hole. Whitney Oaks staff needs to do a better job keeping things moving along on the course. I never once saw a Marshall out there either.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the enjoyable layout of our golf course, Johnnie. We sincerely apologize for the slow pace of play you experienced during your visit. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we will address the issue with our staff to ensure a better experience for future golfers. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Slow play
It’s a good course but 3 hours to play 9 holes is unacceptable. Avoid weekends
We apologize for the longer wait times on weekends and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Hi, jkzellmer. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Whitney Oaks Golf Club!
Challenging & Fun Rolled into One
If you wanted a tough course, While having a fantastic experience… well here it is. From elevation changes to various undulations on the greens, the course offers everything. If you want to test that handicap of yours and those brand new irons you bought this is the course to do it on. I learned the hard way too.
Definitely recommend playing a round here
Thank you for taking the time to review us, NJAnthony. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
Whitney Oaks
Staff was friendly, fairways and rough were well groomed, greens were perfect and fast, very nice. Would highly recommend this course to all levels of play.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the friendly staff, well-groomed fairways and rough, and perfect and fast greens. We hope to see you again soon!
Incredible greens
Greens are in prime condition right now. Rolling fast and true. Bermuda fairways aren’t very green. To be expected in winter but they were well manicured.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.

New favorite course
After my first round here, I can say that it has everything I prefer in a course. The only staff I dealt with was the gentleman in the pro shop and the course starter; both were friendly. They have a nice chipping/putting area and driving range. The course itself is beautiful and laid out well with small elevation changes and some tricky holes. I’ve heard this course can get busy and backed up, but we were lucky and didn’t have any delays (or people in a rush behind us). Can’t wait to play here again.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, u314164607376. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club!
Beautiful layout with challenging holes and perfect to play with the fall colors.
OF1112023, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Beautiful, but difficult course
Lots of forced carries and narrow fairways.?Beginners should go elsewhere and intermediate golfers should bring lots of balls!
Thank you for sharing your feedback about our golf course. We apologize if you found the forced carries and narrow fairways challenging. We appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back in the future.
A sad experience
Course is in good condition and staff inside was great but I had a huge issue on course that they didn’t even try to alleviate. Group in front of us was playing music so loud that we could hear it from 300 yards away. Lots of cursing and lyrics that were inappropriate for young children. I called the course and told them it was beyond appropriate and they agreed and said they would send someone out. They didn’t. Three holes after I called this in the loud music and clearly drunk group started yelling back at me as they drove off from the green. I kept my cool (thanks to my wife riding along with me) but I didn’t want to. I will never play here again. I guess they just got new management so let’s hope they do better. Not good!!!
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience at our golf course, Lonnie. We apologize for the negative experience you encountered with the group playing music and the lack of response from our staff. We appreciate your concern and will address this issue with our management team to ensure a better experience for all our customers. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We hope you will give us another try in the future.
Always a good value, great layout
This is my “go to” course in the Rocklin area. Great course layout which forces you to make decisions and strategize your round. Nice chipping area, putting green, and driving range in close proximity to the clubhouse and 1st tee. Always a good time here.
