Thunder Valley Casino Resort is a modern hotel and casino offering various dining options, a pool, spa, and conference facilities. The resort has been recognized for hosting live performances by acclaimed artists like Steele. Visitors have praised the diverse selection of games available at the casino and appreciated the cleanliness and maintenance of the premises. Guests who use rewards cards can benefit from perks such as complimentary nights and free gifts.
I was in Rocklin on a date and decided to stop by Thunder Valley Casino Resort since it’s only about 10 minutes away — and wow, what a night. Walked in with a few hundred, played some slots and blackjack, and ended the night up $1,300 plus a beautiful room at an amazing rate. The staff were amazing — friendly, upbeat, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The drinks were perfect too — their bartenders know how to mix a drink just right, and the service all night was top-tier. Our room was spotless and came stocked with thoughtful extras — shave kits, soaps, bubble bath sets, slippers — little things that make a huge difference. It felt more like a luxury resort stay than just a quick casino stop. And I’ve got to mention the gift shop — picked up an awesome Thunder Valley jacket that I haven’t been able to take off all week. I’ve been telling everyone the story of that night — from the big win to the great people — because it really was that memorable. Between the welcoming staff, great drinks, and lucky tables, Thunder Valley absolutely delivered. This was my first time really playing here, but definitely not my last. Can’t wait to come back for round two soon!

Regular here; rooms are always clean and staff is very helpful from hotel. Room service is hit and miss. Rooms most have been remodeled. Suites have jetted tubs and have a very large bathroom. All rooms have amazing soaking tubes and separate showers. Love bathroom set up. Pool is great especially when no kids around. Drinks are great Poole

I had a great time at Thunder Valley. The casino is clean and well-maintained, and both the restaurants and restrooms were nicely kept. One thing I’ve never loved about casinos is having to walk through smoking areas to reach the non-smoking section. I understand that smoking is part of the casino atmosphere, but not all gamblers are smokers. But there is a non smoking section so that's cool. The concert venue was surprisingly decent, and the spa was excellent—very relaxing and beautifully designed. Staff throughout the hotel were consistently welcoming and friendly, and there’s plenty of parking available, which made things easy. Cons: The rewards program was disappointing. If you're staying at the hotel and spending money on-site, you should earn points for all purchases. Also, if you forget your rewards card in your room, it would be helpful to show your receipt and still get credit. There was some miscommunication around that and the advertised 5% discount, which made the experience less smooth than expected.

What can I say. Thunder Valley hotel and casino is the best!!! The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Very modern. The service of everyone from the Valet, bellmen, desk person to the bartenders were exceptional. We can't wait for the next visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love Thunder Valley! The spa remodel is gorgeous — so relaxing and just what we need every time. We go as friends to celebrate and unwind, and it never disappoints! Linda is awesome and always makes us feel so welcome. And Joseph is amazing — he always says hello with a smile and treats us like VIPs. Five stars all the way!

We have so much fun here. The rooms are nice, the food is delicious and we ALWAYS get the best service! We absolutely love the team at Thunder Valley. They have the best Casino Hosts, Rosemary, Gabriel, Linda, and Mary and such welcoming Hotel Desk Staff like Angel. We love grabbing drinks from any of the friendly and talented bartenders like Jennifer at High Steaks, Christine at Thunder Bar, Daven at Red Lantern and Tim and Laurie in High Limit. Thunder Valley is an amazing resort and continues to be our favorite!!

We really enjoyed the band Zepparella at the Venue tonight. They are a Led Zeppelin tribute band. All four members are awesome artists! Best and most authentic rock tribute performance that I have seen. An excellent band in their own right. They need to add a keyboard player to ther band so they can play Stairway to Heaven as their closing song.

Golf course
Golf driving range
Public golf course
Nestled near Sacramento, Lincoln Hills Golf Club boasts a stunning 36-hole layout designed by the talented duo of Billy Casper and Greg Nash. Since its inception in 1999, with an additional course added in 2005, this golf haven has become a top choice for enthusiasts in the greater Sacramento area. The courses are characterized by wide fairways and beautiful views of rolling hills and wetlands typical to Placer County.
Love this course. Great course conditions, organized and well run as a business. 36 holes. Orchard is my challenge course. Both are solid and quality. The driving range, chipping area and practice greens are in great condition as well. Staffs are always nice especially Reynold. He does have the best customer service.

For the first 17 years we moved up here. I played this golf course every Sunday, we loved it. People were Nice, the course was always in pretty good shape, but it has changed. Couple years ago, the ownership started to change so we decided with the decline of the golf course to step away for a while. Today was the day we decided to give our favorite course another try, sadly, it was a disaster The course was overbooked, the fairways were atrocious, the weeds were running the place and the greens were poor at best. However, we decided to keep going, and then ran into a cart problem, I play with A couple of disabled older gentleman, one had a quadruple bypass another is missing a leg and had a bypass as well, needless to say we need those carts to work. It didn’t, I called the clubhouse 13 times as you can see in the photo and we weren’t able to get a hold of anybody. We decided to throw the three bags onto one cart and drive into the clubhouse. We know it’s not the safest thing to do, but we had no other choice. As we were driving in, a woman yelling at us told us we can’t do that and stopped We tried to explain what happened, but she disregarded any explanation and continue to berate us. Sadly got the better of me and I called her Karen, and we drove off. She followed us with almost a personal hatred and started berating us again, she said do you know you just called the head golf pro a Karen and stared at me as she as if she was going to punch me Instead of engaging any further we left Not only am I never going to come to this golf course again I’m gonna let everybody I possibly know about this horrible situation

Two courses, Orchard and Hills. Both are fun tracks that wind through the Sun City Lincoln Hills community. (Note that they don't route back to the clubhouse after 9 holes.) I played as a single on a weekday and they were cool with me having my own cart. The practice facility is outstanding, with large putting and chipping greens, plus a full sand bunker...a big bonus for a public course (most just have driving ranges). Friendly staff and a nice round of golf.
Eric H — Google review
I’ve played these courses 3 times a week for the last 7 years and have watched the courses go from bad to worse to getting really good. The new owners have done a tremendous job on the renovation of the bunkers. The sand is very good quality so it makes the course so much more playable. I see that work is being done on the lady's tee boxes also. Thanks for the improvement! Also kudos to the employees working there!
Nancy M — Google review
Please do not let this rating reflect on the course itself or the staff. Twilight golf here is a joke however. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I tried to play here on 10/30. I showed up early and paid extra to go out at 140ish. I was told it was "wide open" with only a couple of groups ahead of me that were at least 30 minutes ahead. The first issue I ran into was on the 1st Tee. When I got there there was another golfer claiming that they had a tee time then but I could go ahead as they were waiting on people. I tee off and get through the first 2 holes no problem. It starts backing up on hole 3 however. I manage to play through hole 3 and get to the 4th box only to find the group I was behind on 3, another group waiting for people on the green, the people on the green, and another group at the 5th tee box waiting to go. The issue here is that they refuse to pay a Marshall after 230 pm, and the entire community knows about it. It is a free for all. I drove from the 4th tee box through to the 10th and counted 15 groups on 6 holes. They were nice enough to give me a refund and I probably wont be back. Save your money and go to Turkey Creek instead.
Anthony S — Google review
Wide open fairways. Conditions were good. Greens slower than similar type courses. Doesn’t allow personal ice chests but there are no water coolers on the course and beverage cart is not seen after 3. Columbia golf raised prices and lessened amenities. Edit after course response: There are two water fountains on each course by the restrooms not every few holes. Course alleges they are refrigerated but they dispense warm water on hot days.

I did an event there serving a cancer support group fund raiser. It is an 18 hole dream. Not flat, lots of undulations, beautiful water events. A beautiful setting. Don't know what green fees are, but if it is public it would be worth it!

McBean Memorial Park

Park
The recent visit to McBean Memorial Park was absolutely fantastic. It provided a delightful experience for both the 3-year-old and the 6-year-old, who thoroughly enjoyed all the park had to offer. This remarkable park boasted various amenities including restrooms, horseshoes, baseball and basketball courts, a sand pit, and an enormous wooden play structure. Additionally, there was a BBQ area with benches where families and friends could gather for an enjoyable time.
First time here! My impression was very good and enjoyable! I really enjoyed taking my children here. They must have played for 90 minutes. They played hard. After leaving they fell asleep from all the playing they did. All the items on the playground worked and looked well maintained. Just saw a few items of trash (3). The kids found it a lot of fun and very enjoyable. It is an enclosed space with a fence surrounding the playground area. I would recommend this place!!

The best kept secret in Lincoln! True Americana at its finest. Every seat in the house offers a great view; bleacher seats are shaded for night games too. GA bleacher seats are great but for a few bucks more, get the assigned seats with a back. There is a non-ticketed bleacher between each row of assigned bleacher seats which you can use as a table! Get the stainless steel reusable beer cup and save on refills. Don't park in the stadium parking lot as that's where most foul balls end up. Plenty of street parking in the neighborhood surrounding the park.

Our visit here yesterday was amazing we had a lot of fun my children are 3 and 6 both were able to enjoy everything this great park offered!! We really enjoyed that it had restrooms, horeshoes, baseball, basketball, sand pit, huge play structure made of wood, also BBQ area with benches to have a great time with family and friends! Overall a great and wonderful place worth the drive 100% only 3 down falls were: a couple of the wood areas of the play structure could use some attention, 2nd zip line needed repair, and bathroom floors looked bad , but other than that A+

I really envy those who live near this park, you are lucky to have the opportunity to often visit such a beautiful place with children. we came from Sacramento and could not pass by this place. It was quiet and comfortable, the feeling of serenity and safety, the playground was so interesting that our children did not want to leave.

We had a large family gathering at this park and it worked out great so we all could keep covid protocols. Pre covid, you could make reservations for the various facilities available. Currently the rules are first come first served. We got there early so that we could use the gazebo for our get together. The restrooms were adequate, but not super clean, but remember a lot of people besides us was there, so I still give it 5 stars

Steak house
Restaurant
High Steaks, located in Thunder Valley Casino, offers a sophisticated dining experience with prime cuts of meat in an elegant stone-walled setting. The restaurant boasts a charming patio area as well. Guests rave about the outstanding dinner they had at High Steaks, claiming it surpasses even the finest dining establishments in Las Vegas. One highlight is the generous serving of delectable crab legs that far exceeded their previous Alaska seafood encounters in both taste and value.
Absolutely love High Steaks. Great ambience. Super friendly staff. Michelle was our waitress and she was very attentive. It’s a very romantic and relaxing restaurant. Food is always amazing. If you’re looking for an upscale, classy place this is it. They have a full spacious bar as well.

First timer. First of all, didn’t expect how good this place was and even more amazed we were able to walk in for a table as well. I have to say this restaurant, both their staffs and food were great. The only thing was their surf and turf cost $175.00, didn’t know prior nor was told until seeing the bill after. Overall a great dinner.

High Steaks at Thunder Valley Casino delivered a refined and memorable dining experience. The service was truly impeccable—attentive, professional, and perfectly timed. From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel well cared for. One of the highlights was the bread presentation and amuse-bouche. The selection included five or six types of bread with accompanying spreads, which was a thoughtful and satisfying touch—especially appreciated when you’re hungry and waiting for your entrée. It really set the tone for the meal and helped elevate the overall experience. The food was excellent, with pricing that, while slightly high, was in line with other upscale casino restaurants. The quality absolutely justified the cost. My only critique was with the seafood platter. One of the oysters was noticeably undersized—not a naturally small variety, but more like a baby oyster compared to the others. At $80 for a platter, I’d expect everything to be carefully checked before leaving the kitchen. That said, when I pointed it out, my server quickly replaced it without hesitation. It’s a small detail, but one worth noting, as not every guest may feel comfortable speaking up. With just a bit more attention to plating consistency, the experience would be flawless. Still, I’d gladly return—High Steaks hits the mark on service, ambiance, and overall quality.

Took my wife out to dinner here for our anniversary. After being seated (Adonis) got us set up at our table and brought us a variety tray of complimentary bread. He was kind and very personable. I noticed him interacting with other tables all while displaying a genuine smile. Our waitress (Jordan) was spot on in taking care of our every need. She took our order and checked in on us regularly after our meal arrived. When she learned we were celebrating our anniversary she brought out a small chocolate raspberry cake for us to share. It was a nice touch especially while I was trying to make the evening a great one for my wife. Thank you , Adonis and Jordan

Meridians Restaurant & Bar, the main dining spot in Sun City, is a delightful culinary destination that offers a variety of experiences for food lovers. Recently, it hosted an exciting event featuring Brendan Linnane from Foggy Dew Funghi, who shared his expertise on mushrooms while chef Tatiana Hylton showcased her skills by preparing a delectable appetizer using Linnane's harvest.
I am so happy to report the new chef is doing an amazing job with the menu. The daily soups are great and the occasional specials are really a treat. This past week I ordered the chicken lollipops in a Korean barbecue style, with a sweet/spicy sauce on a bed of equally tasty rice. I’m afraid if this becomes a regular menu item, it will be the only thing I order, it was that good! Congratulations to the new Chef!
Ed Y — Google review
We enjoyed our BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and Salmon Almondine for dinner at Meridians. The food was very good. The food did come out quickly. The environment was very clean, pretty, and appointed like a cruise ship. The service was unfortunately very slow even with 3-4 servers for the whole restaurant. Water refills were unbelievably slow. I was also quite disturbed to be charged for both my table and an adjoining table. Fortunately, I spotted the two charges going thru with my credit card app alerts. I mentioned this to the server and then got an admission of what had happened and that they were working on correcting it. The server then checked I got back the correct card, which was concerning. Unfortunately, there was no apology from anyone. By the time we got to our car I saw a credit pending on my card for the second charge. I will now keep my eye out that this second charge is properly zeroed out. Food is good, but clearly staff training still needs work. In my opinion, there is NO excuse for mischarging like this. Fortunately, they did not misplace my card (unlike another restaurant in Lincoln. Again, NO excuse for that either.)

I’ve been to this restaurant several times and have never had a bad meal. The servers are always friendly, and the place has a great atmosphere. However, last Wednesday, I ordered the fried rice—and I have to say, it was a disappointment. The first bite was extremely salty, so I thought maybe it just needed a good stir. But once I stirred it, I found a pool of oil sitting at the bottom. I gave it another try, hoping it would get better, but it was still overly salty and greasy—almost inedible. Please consider improving your fried rice. Maybe take a few notes from how Filipinos or Thais do it—just saying!

The eggs Benedict are very good, and so are the desserts. It would be great if they served Warm Bread with the soups and the pasta. The servers could be a little more attentive with taking orders and refilling coffee. I love the views.

Ate outside on the terrace and were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The rice paper shrimp appetizer was scrumptious (asked for extra sauce). Shared a salmon dinner which was cooked to perfection—moist and tasty with yummy squash on the side. Crista was a wonderful, attentive server who did a great job suggesting a beer and app.

Food was good. Went when I thought it wouldn’t be busy.(1:30 on a Tuesday) It wasn’t. Took more than 10 minutes to get water. 20 minutes for glass of wine. Had not tried Meredians in a long time because of less than stellar experiences. Most recent experience does not make me want to return and I’m a SCLH resident

If you're in the Lincoln area and craving some delicious Chinese cuisine, look no further than Lincoln Chinese. This beloved restaurant has been a local favorite for over 15 years, known for its fresh ingredients and generous portions. Diners rave about their Family Dinner options, which include a delightful selection of entrees like sweet and sour pork, cashew chicken, and broccoli beef, all served with tasty appetizers such as egg rolls and fried wontons.

The staff was really friendly. However, I found the pricing for certain items confusing, and it wasn't clear if some options included sides. The Sizzling Chicken Soup had absolutely no flavor, but the egg rolls were hot and tasty. The chicken and broccoli were decent. I ordered my food to go and it came out quickly.

This has to he by far the worst chinese restaurant i have ever tried. The food is appalling. The orange chicken is over cooker over batterd nasty dry leather belt type of material. The mixed veggies is overcooked mushy brocoli with raw onion. The brocoli beef tasted like 2 week old soggy beef from the rain gutter. Seriously disgusting food. Would not recommend we threw our food away learned our lesson

Have been going here for 15 years plus. The food is great. They have the best Chow Mein, General Chicken & Cashew Chicken. Everything is made fresh and the portions are huge. Always order a Family Dinner $15.99/$16.99. You get a pick of entree then it comes with egg drop soup, fried rice, egg rolls, fried won tons, and prawns for the $16.99 Family Dinner option. There is always leftovers.

Five of us went to enjoy this place. It was referred to us by a friend. We ordered the family dinner for $14.95 each. The appetizers were egg roll and fried won ton and the soup was egg flower. Our entreés were sweet n sour pork, cashew chicken, broccoli beef, pork chow mean and pepper beef. All the vegetables were crisp tender meats tender and sauces delicious. Portions were good size, we had reasonable leftovers. The food came in a reasonable amount of time. The reason it wasn't a 5 star review is we had to go up to the cashier to ask for to go boxes and we had to box and bag them ourselves (I'm not fond of dirty fingers when I'm out). They also didn't collect the payment for our check and we had to wait for 7 to-go orders to be processed before we could pay. They also left us sitting in dirty dishes and didn't offer more hot tea even though the pot was small. Otherwise it was a terrific place. We will be ordering from here for our Christmas Eve traditional family meal.

Hamburger restaurant
In-N-Out Burger is a beloved classic in the fast-food scene, known for its customizable burgers, hand-cut fries, and delicious shakes. This iconic chain has captured the hearts of many, especially those who have relocated from California. Diners rave about their affordable meals—like a feast for six that can cost around $66! The double-double burger served animal style is often highlighted as a must-try.
Always great food and service at In-N-Out Lincoln! As transplant Californians we’ve grown to absolutely love In-N-Out l, and it’s our go-to for quick, fresh, delicious food. Recently went to grab food for 6 people, and entire bill was only $66 for burgers (animal style), fries (animal style), and shakes! Most affordable meal we can get in town. Highest recommendation, double-double animal style is my go-to, will return.

When I get fries they are not cooked all the way through… so instead of complaining I ask for LIGHT WELL fries and I get very limp fries…. I just want crispy fries like every other IN-N-out does… please. Do I ask for them to be burnt? Just want them brown

Had a good experience at this In-N-Out Burger in Lincoln, California. We were the first customers at 10:30 in the morning on Sunday. The staff was friendly and very efficient. Stores kept clean and inviting. The food was fresh and at a great value. Looking for a fast food burger while in Lincoln I recommend the In-N-Out.

Food is great, just like any in-n-out but I agree with the reviews. This Innout is probably the worst innout at making fries!!! I ask for crispy I get medium rare. Innout fries are already mid and they make it worse. Still good burgers though and they always get my order right.

Was fanastic restaurant until tonight. Waited 20 for fries and a shake. I get that there were other people who ordered before me but its still ridiculous. Lady serving my order didn't even apologize for the wait or even smiled. Don't go on Friday night.

Passed by here earlier this evening with My Father. This is My first time going to this In-N-Out location in Lincoln, California. The service was good. I ordered a 4x4 with no tomato and regular onion, fries, Large Soft Drink, and a Regular Chocolate Milkshake. My Father ordered a Cheeseburger with Onion, fries, and a Medium Soft Drink. The food was hot and fresh when I received it.
