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.

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!!!

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.

Hopefully Better Days Ahead
The course is is pretty good condition and the greens are good, but there were bad areas on multiple holes - the worst being a small pond in the middle of the 10th fairway. Four holes were cart path only. Pace of play was bad, with 3 groups on a hole 5 or 6 times.

The “Best” challenging course for the price

OK Experience
This is the first time I have played at Whitney Oaks in 4-5 years mainly because of the pace of play and some of the members are entitles jerks.
It is a very challenging golf course so I only play there early because the pace of play can be dreadful because of the difficulty.
The fairways were cut very short which I love because it is so much easier to hit my irons and the quality of the sand in the bunkers was quite good. Greens were a bit slow for my liking, but in good condition.
There are 3--4 holes that I feel are over the top and almost have a miniature golf quality ti them. I played from the blue tees and my biggest complaint was the tee boxes. More than half of the tee boxes were not even close to being flat. For such a difficult course I do not need the extra challenge of the ball being below or above my feet of the tee.
I may go back to playing here would play here maybe once a year. Much better options within an hour of Sac.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review of your recent experience at Whitney Oaks. We apologize if your experience with the pace of play and other players was not ideal, but we're glad to hear you enjoyed the challenging course, well-cut fairways, good quality sand in the bunkers, and the overall condition of the greens. We'll take your feedback about the tee boxes into consideration, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.
Hi, u000006400017. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Tough greens
Great course in very good shape. Undulating greens and pin placement made it tough for first time golfing here
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.
Send your enemies 🤣
This course is super well kept, friendly staff, and the GPS in the carts is pretty cool. But the layout is the hardest course I’ve ever played. Would I send my friends? No. I’d send someone I don’t get along with though.
The hilly rough was beneficial because it would bounce balls back into the fairway.
Fairways were firm with low grass almost like greens.
Greens were hard and super fast, and all sloped making putts very hard.
Bunkers were fluffy and steep.
Beautiful course though.
Not playing again until I’m a low handicap… so maybe never.
Thanks so much for the great review, tlamarca. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Beautiful but deadly
This is a beautiful course but very challenging. I lost more than a few balls but it was worth it. The greens are great, complex and layered. Overall it's a fairly unforgiving course.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u5668192. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
