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.

Half and half

The course was nice the greens were fast. The staff was friendly. The pace of play was fine for the first 11 holes after that it was very slow and waiting on every shot. I caught up to a twosome and added to the group however it did not help the pace of play. There were several five seasons that slowed things up significantly. I never saw a ranger and there was not a starter which added to the problems with the slowness of play. I would play it again It’s very beautiful and a challenging course.

Unreal Layou

This course was the least enjoyable course I have played in 40 years of golfing. Too many hazards placed in front of greens. Seemed as though every other hole was a dog leg. If you like trees, some in the fairway, then this is your course. All to often tee boxes were in uneven area. Since the course had light rain the day before it was cart path only even though fairways were dry. Golf cart died on 17 but we managed to milk what was left of battery to get us to club house. We won’t be back.

ok

Round took almost 5 hours, tee'd off at 2 and barely finished with any light right before 7. A lot of dry spots and patchy areas around the fairways. Green are well pretty well maintained. Not a lot of room to miss off the tee, a lot of areas to lose a ball if you're not straight.
