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.

Challenging but fun

This is a really fun, but challenging course if you don’t hit it straight nor know when to put the driver away. The staff was great as was the clubhouse. They have a hot dog, chips and 32 ounce soda for $10 deal.

Definitely would play it differently next time around and lose less balls in the process.

Course in good playing condition

Always enjoy a fun round at Whitney. Bonus on April 28, 2025 - Brand New mats at the driving range.

Turf in good condition.

If you know and play Whitney then you're good. But a warning to high handicap ad beginners - This course might be too difficult for you. I played with an old guy yesterday who said he hadn't played golf in8 months. He shot well over a score of 130 and lost at least 20 balls. So if you are a novice I recommend you play somewhere easier like Diamond Oaks or Timber Creek both in Roseville.

First Time Playing

Great Layout

First time playing here. I thought the layout was great, with a couple of janky holes, overall really liked it. Greens were recently aerified, but with small hole, so no problem and they rolled very good. There were a few areas that could use some mowing and a few spots on greens that were dirt. But overall pretty ok.

Challenging, but fun.

Whitney is a very challenging course. Precision is key. Lot of doglegs, carry over cross creeks/ravines.

With that said, the place is in excellent condition, the practice facility is one of the best around. The staff is very friendly.

Punching greens

They were punching the greens on the back and not even going in number order so I had to wait 2 separate times about 10-15 minutes just to finish. If the guy in the pro shop would’ve said something this would’ve probably not bothered me as much but he literally said you will have no restrictions playing a fast round

Slowww play and no Marshall

The course itself is beautiful but the pace of play was incredibly slow. We played on a Saturday and the group in front of us were three players along with two girlfriends/wives and two little kids. No marshall around to tell the kids not to play in the sand trap or to rake them afterwards. Just parents chasing their kids around on a golf course in a Saturday with no care of anyone behind them for 5 1/2 hours

Great course

Always have enjoyed playing this course. Today was the first time playing with my sons and they loved it and I loved the time spent with them on such a wonderful course. Looking forward to playing here again with my sons.
