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.

Long wait

On the back 9 holes we had long waits of up to 20 minutes. It made it difficult to sit in cold and wind and then try to hit an accurate shot.

Golf Pass is a scam

Got hurt and no options to speak to a live agent when canceling new golf pass membership. Chat is from a third world county who makes excuses and won't cancel either. Run away from this one.

Golf Pass has no avenue to speak with customers

I called golf pass 10 times to tell you I got hurt and need to cancel my new subscription as I won’t be able to use it. You only have an automated line and no way to connect to a live person. Really poor customer service from golf pass.

Greens!

Course was set up tough today. Never seen pin placements so hard here. I loved the challenge. If you had a downhill putt, forget about it. I did four putt number 16, left myself on the wrong end of the green,,,,I haven’t had a four putt in 15 years,,,,,loved it, thank you!!

5th game here. Really enjoy the challenge.

5th game since I moved here 8 months ago. Really enjoy this course for it's beauty, elevation changes. But be aware that this course is difficult. Many very narrow fairways. Blind tee shots, can't even see the fairway from the tips. Unless you are a consistent straight hitter with a 5 or lower handicap be prepared to loose at least 4 balls. But then again if you wander into the bushes looking for your ball you'll probably find more than lose. I came home yesterday with 15 more balls. Ridiculously difficult putting greens. Lightening fast, rolley polley surfaces. Not a single green with a straight putt.

Nice employees. Decent restaurant and bar. Worth the 35 minute drive from Sacramento.

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.
