Whitney Oaks Golf Club
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.

Greens and bunkers in great shape! Looks like new sand and much better shape than most bunkers in the area. Need to get the fairways back in shape. Should be good as we head into spring. Always like the challenging layout!

Golf
You should play this course,I believe Thunder valley casino has put money into course and it shows.I was surprised when I played there.Good value for price.
Course is unfair
If you don’t play this course enough, you have no idea where to land the ball in fairways. Penalizing course with sloping fairways that rolls your ball into the junk. I have about 30-40 different golf buddies & we all agree WO is just an unfair course. We have a much better time at any Ssc valley course
Great course layout
Hadn’t played the course in a couple years, but was glad I came back. While this course can be challenging, it reminds me that playing the same few course does not make you a better golfer. The course was in good condition for December and demonstrated to me that I need to play this course more frequently.
On issue I encountered was the starter. I had a tee time at 11am, but did not tee off until 11:20 due to the starter. The course was not packed, as a matter of fact, no one teed off between 11 to 11:20. The starter was chatting with some friends are baseball. I had to go up to him and say something to get him to do his job.
Thank you for your review, buckhallen. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback of our team member to our team at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Quirky difficulty
The course was in good condition, although somewhat chunky, wet lies in the first cut of rough contrasted with the mostly tight fairway lies. I like this course but also find it very difficult to score well here. There are some quirky holes, tight fairways, and really well-guarded greens.

Nice but difficult course
Playing city/county courses mostly so this course is a bit difficult for me but overall I like it. There are a couple of holes were poorly designed that you might get hit from behind due to the blind spots. I almost got hit twice and it wasn't a pleasant experience
Hello, tyclee. Thank you for visiting us at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We apologize about the blind spots and we hope you join us for another round soon.
Whitney Oaks
First time here beautiful course. Bit over my head as a high handicapper. Greens are crazy hard to read. Need to get more golf balls
Pace is to slow
This is one of my favorite golf courses around, because is challenging, last two times I've played the course, I have bad luck, the pace of play is so slow, people playing this course don't know anything about golf etiquette at all, one thing is been a bad golfer other is been bad and slow at the same time, this is a message for golfers, if you are a beginner or do you like to take your time on every shot, let fast player play through I don't care if you can drive the ball 300 yards every tee shot, this golf course is to play smart golf, hit fairways and greens and I'll bet you will move faster and play the best golf of your life, instead of trying to hit the ball as far as you can, you will end up waisting time looking for you ball in the azards every hole. Good luck to all the golfers be safe and play good golf!
