Rating 72.8

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 a 9-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.

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.

Good time

Great course and perfect weather. The only minor complaint I have is the poor selection of beers.

VERY slow pace of play

Course is beautiful, but pace of play was horrendous. 4 groups on every tee box starting at hole 3, and stayed that way for the rest of the round.

Ouch…

$130.00 for 10:18 on a Friday when they punched 4 days before. This side of the course is not worth 130.00 let alone during the same week they punched. 5 hour and 40 minute round and the greens were covered in sand.

Good place to play

Played Oak. Greens punched not too long ago but done right. Putts still tracked true and were very receptive. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. Range is still a bit of a mess due to shrinking it. No drivers allowed 👎

Excellent conditions

Sycuan pays no taxes, some of the extra cash is used to take great care of the courses.

Losing its Way

We are an older couple who has played both courses at Singing Hills over the years. We have watched the facility decline, not in terms of conditioning or capital improvements. The casino owner is clearly putting money into the course. The problem is with the players. The course now appeals to the young male golfer whose main desire is to play music on the course, hit the ball a mile without regard to where it goes, celebrate decent shots with raucous cheers, deplore the bad shots with obscenities, and consume as much alcohol on the course as possible. Two staff members of the course to whom we recently spoke referred to these patrons as "degenerates" and "yahoos." The only solution is to cease selling alcohol on the course. Since that isn't going to happen, with regret (because the bones of the courses are quite good), we shall have to look elsewhere for our golf experiences.
