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.

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.

Nice but very slow play

Course in good shape but very slow play and no real effort by Marshall to address the couple of groups who were the issue. Staff in pro shop and bar were very nice.

Challenging but fun!

Whitney Oaks is one of the toughest course in Sac area. Tee shots open up narrow fairways then the second shots bring in lots of little creeks then fast and undulating greens test your putting skills.
The condition of the course is very good considering recent rain.Only problem was it took 30 more minutes to complete the round. Considering the tough course layout with full tee sheet it was expected but no Marshall to manage the pace. Only the gps screen on the golf cart will tell you you’re behind but it doesn’t know we had to wait on every hole.

Was the greenskeeper mad when placing flags?

Or nah? Nearly every flag was on the edge of the green, whether it be front or back. I admit, my score was due to my own errant shots, but pin placement could be a bit more favorable. Fairways are brown which I expect in the wintertime but as sloped as the greens are.. C'mon man!

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 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.
