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.

Approach on #2. Do NOT go long. Photo submitted by Calnative02 on 05/01/2019
great foursome
course very difficult but playable from respective tees, white for me. gps worked great but distances to hazards, ie. creeks environmental areas would be helpful. one day an overhead realtime view of holes would be great especially with a few blind holes. overall challenging course and fun to play with a great foursome.
Not for hackers
If you need to hit from an adjacent fairway from Time to time this is not the course for you. Trees around the greens and hazards everywhere It is very easy to get into trouble and realize that your game is not as good as you thought it was. If you hit with laser accuracy the. Go out and play.. as for the rest of us this course will make you feel bad. Excellent condition I just wish I knew how to play welll enough to enjoy it.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Whitney Oaks Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon!

Stupid greens - Johnny Miller specials
I had not been here in over 20 years so it was like playing a new course. I quickly remembered why many of Johnny Miller/Ron Fream courses end up getting re-done after a few years, they design stupid green complexes that are too severe for the majority of shots that need to be played. The course has to keep the greens super slow on the Stimpmeter otherwise everyone would be 4 or more putting regularly. That's just plain silly for public golf.
Conditions were otherwise good.

Back again......something good about Coronavirus
I had not played here in quite a while.....probably about five years......I will come back again soon. I enjoyed this round a lot. The layout is great with many interesting holes although I don’t s have a second shot for number 8 and 17 now that I’m older. Staff today was outstanding under the conditions.
We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Whitney Oaks Golf Club!
Tough, challenging course, but fun, fair layout
Outstanding layout. Tough. Greens are challenging. Course was wet after three days of rain, so power carts were "cart path only." Still very enjoyable. Took advantage of a Hot Deal price.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! Your feedback is valuable. Whitney Oaks Golf Club thanks you!
WILL PLAY MORE OFTEN
FAIRWAYS STILL IN BAD WINTER CONDITION WITH LOTS OF BROWN SPOTS. STILL A GREAT CHALLENGING COURSE

Is It Summer?
What a beautiful day! The grounds people continue to impress with the excellent greens, fairways and tees. Please, keep it up! Once again, we were able to get off early and were only 7-minutes off the course time after 18 - despite following a 5-some. 70+ degrees. No wind like yesterday. Enough good scores to be coming back. Thanks, Whitney Oaks!

Nice course but horrible pace of play
Nice course in good condition with challenging greens. Unfortunately pace of play this Saturday was just horrible. They booked t-times every 5-7 min so we had to wait for every single shot.. At the end we were 70 min behind. There is no ranger on course to regulate pace.

Not for the Faint of Heart
This being the first time I've played the course I didn't know what to expect. The first thing I noticed was the winter brown fairways. There was something about this type of grass that didn't settle well with my eyes. Compared to other local courses, this has been the only one that I've played like this. The greens have already been micro-punched which didn't seem to affect the putting. The pin placements where all in pretty difficult positions today. Maybe under different conditions, I'll try going back for another round. I think I"m going to wait for the conditions to improve before going back.

6 hour round
Blazing fast undulating greens are a pleasure to putt on. Challenging course for any skill level. Probably why it takes about 6 hours to play. I’ll be back to see if pace improves. I doubt it

Way too difficult for high handicaps
It was very windy The fairway Bermuda was brown which was expected, and had trouble with irons. Greens were way too fast with tough pin placements . A couple dumb lay up holes The on course service was horrible. Drinks were skimpy and over priced . The cart girl charged a friend .$8.50 for a jack and coke . She kept half of the coke and served it to him the flattened soda later in the round when he ordered a second drink . Also when asked for water she charged a $3 bottle inly to find a drinking fountain outside the bathroom near the next tee The homes around the course are gorgeous. Be mindful of an errant shot Overall beautiful , not worth the 9 balls I lost It may play better mid summer but I won’t be back

Good course and rates but not sure why fairways are brown
Whitney Oaks is a very good course and can be challenging. Many of the holes have trouble if you aren't accurate with your shots, The rates are very fair; many times you can get good deals under $30 for your tee times.
The greens are a challenging; can be very fast will quite a bit of slope on some holes.
Typically in California this time of year the fairways are very green if a bit soggy. Yet the fairways at Whitney Oaks are brown during the winter. Assume the grass they have is the same that you see in the Mid-west that goes dormant during the winter?
