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.

Great Round

The course is in great shape players have to hit certain shots otherwise it could be a long day. The only problem I had was with locking the breaks on my cart. I spent the entire round trying to lock the breaks so the cart would not move forward or backward it was frustrating. This is an accident waiting to happen

Course is nearly dialed

Fairways were a great cut but a bit dry. My only real complaints were the greens were in good shape but could use a cut as they were a bit shaggy. Definitely lost some strokes with the inconsistent pace this caused. Secondly, on the front it was wide open for our group of four, no one right behind, no waiting for any groups ahead. On the back 9 however, it almost seemed like two groups had been dropped in front of us. A twosome right in front and a threesome in front of them, and the pace of play ground to a halt. Waiting 5-10 minutes a hole as a foursome behind twosome and a threesome feels borderline unacceptable. Not necessarily the courses fault per say but frustrating nonetheless, never saw a Marshall who may have helped with rate of play.

IMPROVED

Fairways starting to grow in since playing a few weeks ago. It was almost bare ground then.

Always one of the toughest courses, but wind didn't help.
