Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Oak Glen

About
Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan (formerly known as Sycan Resort) offers two 18-hole championship courses, Oak Glen and Willow Glen, as well as an 18-hole, par-3 course. The courses are tucked into a valley, surrounded by mountains and sloping hillsides that provide stunning backdrops on almost every hole. The Sweetwater River runs through the Oak Glen Course, coming into play on several holes including the memorable fifth hole, which is definitely a contender for one of the best par 4s in San Diego. This challenging hole requires an accurate drive across the river. The gently rolling terrain is sprinkled with mature trees. The layout features undulating greens and tight fairways. It is a challenging golf course but it is generally forgiving off of the tees, which makes it slightly less difficult than the hillier Willow Glen Course from Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan.

Disappointed
We hadn't played here in probably 20 years but came down to stay at the casino and play a few rounds of golf. Played the Par 3 the first day and it is best suited for very young golfers...very short. We played 6 holes in less than 20 minutes until we caught up with a group and then had to wait to finish the other 3 holes. Even at $35 riding a cart, it is too expensive for what it is. Next day, we played Oak Glen on a Hot Deal tee time. Got paired up with 2 guys who absolutely could not find the fairways. Nice enough guys, but it made the round seem very long as they looked for their balls in adjacent fairways. Course layout is ok and condition was so-so. Facilities are lacking. No bag attendants...bag drop some distance from the pro shop/cart pick up. Driving range hitting into nets as they improve the range. If you expect to play a resort course and/or have resort amenities, you will be disappointed. Recommend you bring your own water. $11 for 2 bottles of water. Overall, spent $36 on non-alcoholic beverages for the round...4 waters and 2 sodas. Highway robbery.
Fun course but geo-fencing sucks.
The cart geo-fencing might be the worst in the county. When it’s not making back out of the first cut for no reason it’s trying to sell you something and making you hit buttons to get back to golf mode. Otherwise nice course. Suprisingly soft fairways for the location, going to say over watered due to mudballs. . Staff is super friendly and helpful, very service oriented. Ghost town on Monday so you can drop extra calls and practice on course without ruining pace of play OR fly through the course. Finished under 4 hours while playing multiple balls.
Good course poor pace of play
I’m 43 I’ve been playing here since I was a kid. They’ve put a lot of money into the course and done a lot to improve it. Great course for the price. The course is always in good condition. The pace of play has become terrible 5+ hour rounds every time no marshaling.
Good conditions on course
Slow moving with pace, holes are a bit on top of each other and somewhat expensive for this course. Very forgiving, fairways friendly staff, and kept up nicely.
Narrow course with people on your fairway every hole
Played a pre noon spot and by hole three we were backed up by 3 parties. Overall length of play was 5:25 due to the play on the first 9 (3 hours) not once did we see a marshal or talk to one. Course was pretty, well kept and narrow. Plenty of water features and bunkers to hop over. People are on your fairways hitting the other direction almost every hole. If I had a -1 for every ”Fore” I heard I’d have a spot at the pga tour.
A must play
Weather was great. Stay in the fairway; lots of trees. Greens rolled beautifully. Going back again.
Worth the green fee
Fairways and greens were in great condition, but the bunkers could use a little more sand. Pace of play, pro shop staff, golf carts and maintenance crew were all excellent. Would definitely recommend this course and will be returning in the near future.
Very nice course
The only thing I can criticize is that some of the fairways are close enough to cause some conflict with players overlapping onto adjacent fairways.
Very nice course. A little over priced.
Really nice course and a great experience. However, other courses in San Diego, with comparable conditions, would be about $20-$25 cheaper than this place. The facilities are fantastic, and the carts are fancy, so you’re paying for that.
Most of the course was in very good condition, but it was mainly the tee boxes that fell short of expectations. Personally I would take pristine tee boxes with average facilities than vice versa, but it’s still a nice course and enjoyable experience.
Oak Glen
I haven't played here in several years and was impressed with the (ongoing) aesthetic changes. Though a twosome riding, we seldom had to wait on the groups in front of us with nobody "pushing us". Greens and fairways in good shape, pace of play - under a 4-hour round.
Not worth the money
Paid $115 to play Oak today. Pay the play was extremely slow and the run was over five hours. Worse than that the greens were horribly bumpy and made putting more of a guessing game and players skill didn't really matter. Which day away at this point pending getting the greens and much better shape.
