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.

Very fun challenging course
This course and facility are kept in very nice condition. The staff is friendly. I love that every hole is different, having it's own set of challenges. You have to think about your shot choices and use all the clubs in your bag. If you practice good course management, this course is a blast!
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, ejdryg. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club!
Slow slow slow
Course is in good condition n weather was perfect! SLOW PLAY definitely a downer. Was only able to get 11 holes in.
Hi, awrman! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Whitney Oaks Golf Club!
I highly recommend this course
First time playing the course. Played as a single. Open schedule, and found a last minute tee time. I played with three (3) very friendly guys that had played the course often. The course lived up to it reputation of being challenging. I found it to be fair, not recommended for high handy cap golfers. The three (3) guys were very helpful. Without their course knowledge I would have been often out of position often. The course is in great condition. The greens seemed a little slow, but consistent green to green. The adjustment was easy. The greens have lots of contour and multiple levels. Nice course design that made fun and interesting. Plan to play again soon.
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.
Horrible customer service in pro shop
Walked in pro shop to check in. Another gentlemen’s ahead of me in street clothes having personal conversation with the gentleman behind counter. Laurie fly waited, never acknowledged, or addressed about checking in. Totally unprofessional!!! Older cart gentleman kindly took my info and gave me a cart and said he would check me in. Will not play there again and will negative yelp and discourage my contacts to avoid the course
We apologize for the unprofessional behavior you experienced during your visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issue with our staff to ensure it does not happen again in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Good Value and Good Condition
Course was in nice condition, it is a tuff course with challenging greens so you may want to adjust the tees you would play for more than just distance.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration when adjusting the tees for a more enjoyable experience. We hope to see you back on our course soon.
Mid Week Golf
Played on Tuesday 1030a tee time. Weather was cool in the morning then warmed a little. Played as a single, no one was with me so I could play my pace. Played whites, tee boxes were good. Fairways were nice, greens also nice. Considering mid September golf, no rain lately, excellent conditions. I caught up to a 5some by hole 5, not sure how they teed off or combined. They weren't slow, but they didn't wave me up and through. By the turn they I was pushing by 5 still no go. Could have used a Marshall to visit but it's Tuesday, maybe not working. I finished in 4 hours. Slow to me but it's Tuesday and can't really complain too much. And no, they weren't new golfers. Looked like regulars who played their pace.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about the course conditions and the pace of play. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the slower group and will take your feedback into consideration for future improvements.
Not for Beginners
Whitney Oaks is an amazing course and has a super challenging layout. I love playing here cause it makes me a better golfer, with that being said if you are new to the game or still haven’t broke 100 this course is going to eat you alive and I highly suggest you opt for easier courses in the area. The only downside to the course is pace of play, if there are hackers playing in front of you, the pace of play is going to be painfully slow. The group in front of us yesterday were playing from blues and couldn’t make it pass the womens tees let alone all the force carries you need to reach playing here. I was once a hacker that couldn’t break a 100 so I feel for ya… but trust me get better by playing easier courses and graduate to a challenge like Whitney Oaks.
Thank you for your review of Whitney Oaks. We appreciate your kind words about our challenging layout and how it has helped you improve as a golfer. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the pace of play and understand the frustration it can cause. We appreciate your understanding and hope to see you back on our course soon.
Great course, super challenge.
You want to really test your game? Whitney Oaks will challenge every part of it. The course is in great shape. Bring your A game and a couple extra balls.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, wadenonn. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
Outstanding and Underrated Course
This is a great course that doesn't get the respect and appreciation it deserves. I think it is amongst the best courses in the Sacramento area, along with The Ridge in Auburn. This place was impeccably maintained, the holes were very challenging, and it very much reminds me of Hiddenbrooke in Vallejo in layout and creativity in design. Give this place a chance, you will never be bored here.
Thank you for your review and for acknowledging the quality and challenging nature of our course. We appreciate your kind words and are glad that you enjoyed your time here.

Hi, Gipson. 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!
Unfriendly and Stuck Up
The employees are rigid and impersonal. The guy at the pro shop, the girl at the bar, the starter and cart attendant will come at you sideways if you arent a member. The course has some fun shots but overall a poorly designed track. Multiple blind tee shots and approaches, sometimes on the same hole and very frequent. The greens were really good. Fairways were playable, swamped in some areas but dry in others. Some of the tee boxes were in need of tlc. Overall, not worth the rack rate but the hot deal has value.
We apologize if you had an impersonal experience with our employees and if you found our course design to be poorly executed. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration in order to improve our services. Thank you for leaving a review.
Whitney Oaks
Very nice course and very pleasant staff. Course is challenging, tight fairways and a bit of target golf but very enjoyable.

Great shape
The course is in excellent condition. Greens are rolling true and fast.
We did have a fivesome that was holding things up a bit but we still enjoyed the round.
Had a GolfNow deal so paid a good rate.
Had two beers after the round at the clubhouse. Charged $9 ea. way too much for a draft beer. Can get a four pack of the same IPA for $11. 3 X the price, no thanks, would have probably had a couple and some food, but not for that much. Other than that, a great experience. Just don’t buy anything at the clubhouse.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for acknowledging the excellent condition of our course. We apologize for the high price of the draft beer at our clubhouse and understand your concerns. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.
