Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6820 yards
Slope 132
Rating 72.8

Singing Hills Golf Club 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 on property.

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.

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.

Dried out and slow pace, took us 5 hours to finish

Greens were extremely slow but nice. Tee boxes were maintained with an exception of a few where there where bald spots and sloping. Fairways were dried out due to drought and extremely firm. Lots of brown grass. Really wish I could have seen this course in its prime.

The course was beautiful

There was a 4-some in front of us that was REALLY slow. I think that had at least 1 beginner. This is the only reason that I rated the course a little lower. It was in beautiful shape and we had fun except for the slow play.

Best Played in cooler months

Due to both the heat of the day and the season of the year the fairways had a number of bare spots. The greens are in very good shape and appeared to be watered regularly including during our round

The course layout is enjoyable and it is surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas and for either meals before or after the round the restaurant offers good food at a reasonable price

Dry in the rough...

Looks to be a course/facility in transition. They are obviously no longer watering anything off the fairway. We were told it will be converted to a desert course. This makes sense to save water in a area where they rely on diminishing wells. But it will make for a much more difficult course for those who cannot hit their fairways. Fairways are patchy, Greens were nice.

The oak trees that line the fairways will challenge your game

Think twice before reaching for that driver if you do not hit straight.The greens are very challenging the way the slopes and crowns and pin placements are.Great views of the mountains and scenery.Great getaway from the city.Golf carts are some of the best in town with color GPS.I will be back to play again.The food is great and the casino is only minutes away from the course.

Perfect Day

No one pressing you and no one holding you up. The management of the course was great. The weather could not have been better . The cart girl appeared like magic just when you felt the need for a treat. No better experience in San Diego

Great shape

Sycuan has always been one of my favorite courses to play in San Diego. It is always in great shape. Today it was in great shape once again. The only complaint, the greens were not as fast as usual.

We teed off around noon, earlier than our tee time. We finished a touch under 4 hours!

Look forward to playing again real soon. Let's get those greens faster

always in top condition

Played Oak Glen many times before as well as the willow

Sycuan is near five star status for around $40.00 on golf now.

some bunker sand was very hard maybe from sprinklers but the greens and fairways pristine.

As always please repair divots respect the course and fellow golfers
