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.

Tough but fun course. Great value

Always love playing this course, even thought it’s more challenging than most courses in the area. The fairways and greens are in great shape. And for the price, can’t beat it.

Hilly, challenging, fun.

Whitney will test your skill. Narrow fairways. Lots of hills. Roller coaster greens. If golf can frustrate or anger you do Not play here. You need to temper the humiliation with a healthy sense of humor. I really like Whitney but I enjoy torture.

My new favorite Placer county golf course

Moved to Roseville 8 months ago. Have played 10 different golf courses within 30 miles of my house. Whitney Oaks has become my favorite. Challenging to the point that some holes from the tips are ridiculously difficult to keep the ball in the fairway from the tee box. Indeed, one can't see the fairway from some tee boxes. Just let it rip and hope for the best. If you are a 1st time visitor be sure to be paired with a local / member so they can guide you.

Great round. Beautiful course

Really enjoyed my round at Whitney Oaks. It had been 12 or so years since my last visit. I have to say the course has matured nicely. Trees are bigger than they used to be. Conditions were pretty excellent too

Great track awesome condition

This track whether sun or rain is fun to play and always challenging. The front 9 is mostly parkland style and the back nine tightens up alot to make it even more difficult.

Target golf

This is a tight layout that requires the utmost accuracy before distance. Thinking is mandatory to set up next shots. Greens and fairways were good, tee boxes not so much. This track is demanding and an interesting layout - especially the back nine. Bring your A game.

Disappointed

Have played this course many times in the past. Has always been excellent. This round found the fairway’s in really rough shape as well as the fringe. The rough areas were in poor shape did not seem to have had much maintenance at all. I hope this was due to the extreme heat waves we had this summer. I will try to get out again in late fall and review again.

Very fun and challenging course.

Really enjoy playing Whitney Oaks. Great layout with lots of challenging design elements.

It was late summer so the heat of the area has had some impact on conditioning, especially on the greens, but nothing that really took away from the experience.

Definitiely worth visiting if you haven't played there.
