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.

Recommend this course to single digit handicap players
Nice challenging course, bring extra balls and keep your patient in check. I played a par five lay out in the back nine that I never experienced before ever!

Course condition
Trees growing out of rocks in the middle of the fairway, buy some chainsaws, make the course playable. Tree growth hasn’t been managed, Obviously the greenskeeper doesn’t play golf and understand tree growth blocking quality shots. Growth in the environmental areas is not manage very well can’t even see the green sometimes for a second shot. Greens were fair and in good condition, Traps have high lips and the green screw continues the rake the sand up rather than rake the sand down so the ball falls in a position where is playable

Not for Beginners...Bring lots of Balls
Played on a Friday afternoon (it was extremely hot). The bar area is excellent and it was filled with many locals. Great spot for a post-round drink. The practice area was very nice, but they need new range balls (many were severely damaged).
The course itself is for the intermediate/advanced golfer. NOT a beginner's course. I play often and find it challenging, but my buddy, who doesn't play a lot, really struggled. Don't bring many Tier 1 golf balls, you will lose them. The course is very narrow in places and has several forced carries. The carts are nice with GPS. Wish there had been a cart girl on the course for refreshments, but it was extremely hot that afternoon.
Overall, a good course with good amenities. However, I would not recommend to a friend because it is very challenging. You must bring your A game.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, saturnpride. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
Played there about 2 months ago. All eight had Thunder Valley comps to play. 1/2 the players were comped the other 1/2 not so.
Was advised we would get free rounds later. Luckily I did not hold my breath.
Not returning
Nice track!
Challenging for sure! Local knowledge required for The undulating greens. Good condition great price, I play it every time I’m in town!

A Beautiful, Challenging Course
Whitney Oaks is a beautiful course I love to hate. I've played Whitney Oaks several times and, although I've yet to break 90 and lose an average of 6 balls per round, it's one of my favorites in Placer County.
The pace of play on this particular day was terrible; it took over 5 hours to finish, which is unusual considering it was a weekday in the late afternoon.

Challenging course
I have no problem with the course - it was tough but, the pace of play by the 4-some in front of me was ridiculously slow! It really made the day tougher and less enjoyable.

Best in the area
Course is in prestige shape, Fairways&greens are true and fast, bunkers with smooth deep sand. I’ve been playing there since 2003 and it’s gotten better with the new owners, hardest course in the area by far.
daping57, 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.
Fantastic day to play golf. Best score here.
Low 90’s with a little breeze made the round greater for our round of golf that already started with a good note. Last week, we started our game with a little unpleasant situation when the young starter admonished me with a nonsense allegation regarding a other player. He should have asked me first what had happened to the situation but he , instead decided to excise his authority. That was quite unprofessional. But thankfully he apologized after I explained the whole situation. I accepted his apology. So when I went up to the pro shop, I somewhat had some lingering feeling about the last time and had some unexplainable concerns which is natural. There was no need for that because the pro shop staff greeted me, calling my name as soon as I walked in , as if he had been expecting and waiting for me.
Very well managed course conditions, fast and challenging greens, some fresh sand in bunkers made my game more enjoyable. Roaming friendly turkeys and deers were also good addition to our wonderful game day. Thanks again for your good job and the good service. Please keep it up.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, DrDavid2! This review means a lot to us and we look forward to seeing you again soon at Whitney Oaks Golf Club.
Whitney Oaks
Whitney Oaks Golf Course is a beautiful course. It is extremely challenging. I must get my game under control before I play it again. It tore me up.
