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.

Good Course That Needs Support
I play regularly and practice regularly on this course. It is clear that Thunder Valley, the owner, does NOT put enough money into this course to make it the topnotch course that it can be. The practice range has very poor quality balls, the ball machine is below par, the machine's hook to hold the basket has been broken for years. The club cleaning buckets are worn out and usually don't have enough water. The practice mats are not level.
One of the bridges to walk from the practice area to the putting green has been closed for years. At the top of the steps leading from the chipping area to the parking lot, an exposed hole from past repairs is still open after a year creating a severely dangerous safety concern.
The course is in average shape.
THE STAFF WORKS REALLY HARD AND DO THEIR BEST TO STAY UP WITH THE WORK, BUT THUNDER VALLEY DOES NOT PROVIDE THE SUPPORT NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS A VERY GOOD COURSE. NO EXCUSES THAT STAFF CAN'T BE HIRED. JUST PUT MORE MONEY INTO THE COURSE AND WATCH IT BECOME A REAL GEM FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.
Best Staff and Course
One would be very hard pressed to find a more accommodating thoughtful staff. As a CountryClub member for ten years, never been treated better than Whitney.
Course demands thinking and accuracy , greens are Country Club quality .
Staff in Bar and Dining are the best, food is excellent and you get plenty of food.
Your feedback is important to us, pnjaj6daCByah0OwcOSU. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Whitney Oaks Golf Club.

First Time
Course is well set up. Degree of difficulty to my liking. Challenging holes and difficult pin locations. This course will make you play smart: force layups, kept driver in the bag and used woods more often. Great course overall

Fair but tough challenge
Whitney Oaks is a great challenge to any level golfer. It’ll fairly test all your shots. It’s in good shape and the greens are consistently smooth and not too fast.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, wadenonn. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
Best Value EVER
If one judge a course by it’s staff, or food or real services you’re hard pressed to find something better.
As a former Country Club member for ten years, I’ve never been treated better, when it comes to consideration for playability, especially pace of play or Outstanding conditions that are consistently above Country Club norms, the Staff is remarkable…. Always have a smile to even the most difficult people.
The Course is a real thinking Man’s or ( women’s) challenge…and the greens and green keeping’s staff are some if not the Best in town. I must add to being a Proud member, player for six years. Play Well here….no course will outwit or surprise you.. Super Value !
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, pnjaj6daCByah0OwcOSU! We appreciate your long term business with us and look forward to seeing you again soon at Whitney Oaks Golf Club.

Challenging
This course will challenge every phase of your game. I call it a target course. You have to hit your targets or you will be penalized. The greens are difficult to read. you should leave your driver in the bag on several holes. Course management is at a premium on this course. I dont recommend this course for a 15 index or above. it will eat your lunch. Bring extra balls if you still want to play.
Thank you for your review, revette96. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Tough course
Excellent, friendly staff. Amenities are excellent. Course is definitely challenging. Course is involved in community events. I do loose to many golf balls here though- but that’s my fault.
Thank you for your review, u000005590195. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Horrible condition
The absolute worst condition course I have played in years!! Just embarrassing! Something is going on. Have no plans on playing here again
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
