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.

Why allow bookings if there is a league on Tuesday nights
Booked the 4:20pm tee time. Walked in to pay at 4:10pm, paid, the gentleman at the counter told me that they had a league that was playing there so he had me between them(league before me and league after me).
I get to the tee box at 4:20pm at hole 1 and there are 3 or 4 groups(all 4 sums) just waiting to tee off. I asked them how the league groupings worked since I was sold the 4:20pm tee time. They kindly told me each their times. 4:10pm(hadn't tee'd off), 4:20pm(was 3rd in line to tee off) and we would go after them.
I don't understand how the course doesn't block off the times between 4:00 and 5:00pm for this league. I didn't get to tee off till 4:55pm waiting for the league to go through. I don't mind waiting, but when I went to the club house to explain this to the gentleman, he tried to tell me its because I was late, but realized that I was on time and just played it off that he "warned" me that there would be league in front of me and behind me. FYI, the league didn't let me play between them. I don't see myself ever coming back to this course ever again. Paid $99 for 6 holes for a 3 sum and at this point, it's enough of a lesson to make me go elsewhere.
Not for High-Handicappers (unless . . . )
My review is based on me being a High-Handicapper who prefers wide-open, more forgiving courses--this is not one of them.
I used to shoot in the mid to high 80's. Recently it is the mid to high 90s. So, with that as a frame-of-reference let me say it was a most challenging course.
Very nice well-maintained course, just not user-friendly for high-handicappers.
Many doglegs, elevation changes and tight tee off areas; almost seemed tricked out on some holes.
I suggest playing one (or two?) tee boxes forward from what you normally play just to eliminate an already tough layout.
Keep it in the short grass and good luck!!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize if the course was not as user-friendly for high-handicappers as you had hoped. We take your comments on the challenging layout into consideration and will work towards improving the experience for all players. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
Pathetic
Ill start by saying that
I just expect more from a course that's owned by an Indian Casino..
Fairways are sparce at best. Sandtraps look good on the surface, but water logged just below. Several holes I wasn't even able to see the Fairways from the tee boxes due the the overgrowth of vegetation.. SAD! This course has great potential if management would just put forth some effort in upkeep..
This course is challenging enough when its in top shape..

Good Putting Required
Great challenging layout. Greens have undulations that make for challenging putts. God really backed up on the back nine. At one point there were 3 groups waiting to tee off on the same hole due to slow play. Shockingly there was not a single marshal on the course all day. Despite this, the course will keep you wanting to come back.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u314163350550. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!

Too Punishing
This course is for advanced players. Under 10.
Everybody else just suffers through it. It is the reason my friends won’t play it. Losing six, seven, eight balls around is not fun.
