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.

Very Challenging

Course was in great shape. Greens rolled very well. Tough course to play the first time. Blind tee shots, multi-tiered greens, hazards running through the fairways, some tight fairways. Yardage is a big deal. Worth the money for sure!!

Not for the faint of heart

Not a course for the mid or high handicap golfer. Lots of par 4 and 5’s where even after hitting the fairway off the tee you can still find yourself with long iron approach shots to tiny greens fronted by OB hazards. Then add in 200 yard par 3’s to postage stamp greens surround by more OB. Every mishit is penalized.

Check your ego at the door and play from one tee forward of where you normally play.
