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.

Whitney Oaks is always challenging, especially on this day due to the windy conditions. It is always in good shape and I continue to play there several times per year.

Horrible Pace of Play at Whitney

Played here twice every other Saturday the last month. I love Whitney, but the pace of play is horrible during the past couple Saturdays. 5:15 round. You could see the marshalls, but they do not do anything about this.

Love the course! Takes awhile to figure out the holes. One thing that drove me crazy was the carts! You could be on a cart path and going up hill and the cart would start lurching as if you were out of bounds. It happened to all of us in the foursome and Many many times.

Beautiful course under tough conditions

I have nothing but great things to say about this course.

Extremely well designed, great pace of play, however, the course can be difficult when windy.

I loved the fact that the yardage finders are in the carts; really speeds things up.

The greens are in good shape; the fairs not so much. The really need some serious watering.

When this course is in great shape, it's one of the best,

Also, liked the fact that they partnered four singles together. Made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Fairways in bad condition, greens like rocks

Last time I played this course was about 5 years ago. It was in great shape. Today when I played, I was shocked at the condition. The fairways were dry and brown and hard as rocks. Mostly dirt with a little grass. Greens were hard and sandy. Not sure why they all had sand on them when they weren't aerated. The putting green was lightening fast, nice and green but full of sand. The course greens were much slower than the putting green. They had a groundskeeper driving around the greens with a metal mesh screen like they use on the infield of baseball fields to smooth out the sand. Why? Greens on the back nine were much greener than the front nine. Don't understand the disparity of the greens. My cart"s battery was weak as it stumbled up the hill to the 13th hole. I was afraid it wasn't going to make it. Just felt disappointed at the conditions

Pin placement was odd. A lot of the pins were set only several places from the edge of the green, and some were set almost on mounds so it's impossible to even get close, even from 50 yards or less.

Fairways are a bit bare but still a good and challenging course

Have played here quite a bit and it’s always a challenge for a mid (me) or high handicapper. Lots of trouble if you don’t hit it straight or true and the back 9, while not very long, has some narrow fairways, elevation changes, etc. The fairways didn’t have a lot of grass which was somewhat disappointing but still playable and I’m guessing in a couple of weeks it’ll be fine.
