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.

Course maintenance staff distracted our group
Staff were everywhere in front of tees. And on greens - not paying attention to players - almost hit two - greens were just sanded but no one mentioned it at checkin
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issue with our staff to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Shot makers course.
Great course, but too many blind shots and forced lay ups.
Like the amenities and golf carts with their gps!
We will return, but hope course is adjusted for more “fair play”.

CHAOTIC
Pace of play was horrible. Almost every 2-3 holes there would be a different group in front of me. To many young adults abusing easy access to the course.
We apologize for the poor pace of play you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will work to address the issue of groups ahead causing delays. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

Too long too tough
5 hours on a Tuesday! Do I need to say more? I started playing this course in 1999, was always one of my favorite tracks for the layout, greens have always been tough. Unfortunately the greens have got away from them and the mounds, hills and pin placements have become borderline unplayable. Tee to green it’s a great layout. But as in many Johnny Miller courses I’ve played it’s the same story. Johnny couldn’t putt at the end of his career so his designs always punish players. Too tricked up, mounding and guys who put out pin placements just don’t get it. Five hours, come on Whitney or Thunder Valley, course Marshall’s must be there to encourage pace of play!!!! Guys hitting 3-4 tee shots, then 2-3 from their second shot, hitting one where they can’t find it and return to the fairway where you thought they were gone and came back to hit from their original spot because of the “rules” and then hit it on again!!!! People this is a game, nobody is collecting a check, nobody cares what you shoot, have fun and enjoy the scenery and play the game! I simply would t recommend the track based on the greens, we gotta have at least one birdie pin for a chance. Not every pin has to be on the edge of a mound, 2 paces in the back left corner with OB 15 feet behind, so you play to the middle and have no way to make a putt because your on some weird slope and the ball goes three different ways before it rolls off the green because of the pin placements and slope to stop a ball with a putter… anyway it’s been fun and real , see you anywhere but here again
Hi GoBuffs1960, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.
Slowest round I've ever played.
The marshal was nowhere to be seen during our 6 hour round. Group Infront was terribly slow. Sent messages from the cart but nothing came of it. Course is nice besides that.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, flawless7m. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Whitney Oaks Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Great time, until we started
Had this joker out there sending guys off. We had a 10:20 and at 10:15 he send off a foursome, and our round took almost 6hrs. His last words were they won't slow, it took them 20 plus minutes to putt, it got to where the people behind us were hitting into us. No marshal to come out. Ridiculous to be honest, seeings how there was barely anyone playing
We apologize for the experience you had at our business. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issue of pace of play to ensure a better experience for all of our customers in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
GHUOPQB7, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Great View
Well like i said the course is fantastic but they definitely need to put a marshal in the course checking the pace on the groups because sometimes it gets super slow so please control the pace a little better thanks.
