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 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.

all around A++
if you can get this course for 20/25 bucks great deal.carts have great GPS.greens are perfect.early mid week is best.
Sycuan does not want Golf.now players.
I have played Sycuan Resort many times over the last few year's, but my last experience was not good. The guy in the pro shop was very rude when I checked in and told me they do not let golf.now players have their own cart, they must ride with other golf.now players. This was a midweek golf round and the course was not crowded at all. I enjoy playing golf with new people, but not sitting next to the wrong person for 4 hours. I played oak glen and it was in great shape, the fairways where overseeded and the greens rolled true. They are cutting back on the grass area off the fairways and installing mulch and drought plants. If you decide to play Sycuan resort I would recommend that you pick Willow glen course, it has a better layout and plays a few strokes harder.
Slow play, no marshal, carts are limited
Beautiful cousre but thats the only good thing about this track. First and last time I will play this course. The play pace was very slow over 5 hours. I never seen a marshal, and the cart lady drives up as I am ready to hit. Paid for a cart but you can only drive on one side of the fairway, so if you happened to hit a push shot and the carts allows you to only go right , you have to WALK to your ball! At lest they should enact the 90* rule so that you can use the cart. If you are disabled and can't walk a lot I don't recommend this course to you at all.
good course
you get a good deal and golf cart are comfortable
Great course.
We enjoyed it. Great course. Greens in good shape. The starter kept things moving and we'll spaced. No waiting on the tees. A long drive to get there.
Poor course conditions, save your money
Course - I can't stress enough how poor the course conditions are at the moment. The fairways were mostly dry dead grass and there was no rough. The course basically goes from fairway (dead yellow straw) to mulch (twigs, leaves, and literally MULCH!) without any type of grass in between. This was the worst money I've ever spent golf related in my life! Seemed to be popular with walkers in the early morning.
Staff - The marshal was riding us throughout the round even though we never had another group teeing up behind us. Beverage cart attendant and pro shop staff were very helpful.
5 some on a Saturday really????
I can't believe there were 2 groups ahead of us with 5 players. That is inexcusable on a Saturday and never once saw a Marshall
Rough Conditions
The course layout was okay but the course was not in good condition. There were many bare areas in the fairways.
Poor value
The greens were receptive and putted fairly good, but were slow. Fairways had many deadspots and were very dry. Tee boxes were in fair condition
Slow goung
Nice course, nice layout and pretty well maintained. But three hours to play last eight holes. Give me a break!!
Courses talk about pace of play yet do nothing about it. Very disappointing.
Warm day in east county
End of summer nice day low crowd 1pm tee time 17 dollar hot deal great price for this course. Some dry spots are showing up in the fairways but not bad for this time of year in the east county. They have started to reduce watering or stop watering the rough that is way off from the fairways. Greens are in great shape and are not lacking for H20 and the rest of the property is well kept. Carts are clean and newer with GPS.
Customer Service
The course was great, especially for a dry and hot southern California day. My only complaint is that the cart service only came by once, on the 4th or 5th hole. I was a single, playing with a husband and wife twosome. They didn't want to stop at the turn, so we didn't. I didn't have a problem, because I figured we'd get cart service one more time. By the end of the round, I was exhausted and dehydrated. It seemed as though the tournament being played on the Pine Glen course took priority over the paying customers at the Oak Glen course.
Again, the course was great to play, and the staff was very friendly....when they were around.
Oak Glen ala Doug
The course is a fantastic stretch with bunkers, water, and trees to thwart your game. The 35/37 for a par 72 is a bit different but not unwelcome. The practice facilities are top notch. Driving range markers are spaced well and brightly colored. The carts are nice, lots of power and come with GPS. There were two service carts on the course. The course boasts a nice restaurant and a big comfy bar.
Late September Play
The greens are fabulously receptive and overall in great shape.
Tee to green also in nice shape. There are some noticeable dried out brown areas in the rough.
