Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Oak Glen
About
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.

5 Some and Two Open Holes
We were a twosome supposed to be paired with another twosome who didnt show. So were obviously going to be right on the 2 couples ahead of us. The front 9 was 2.5 hrs and then on the back there were 2 holes open ahead of then. On 12 another cart drove by us and then joined the 2 couples ahead of us who were 2 holes behind the pace of play. So now a 5?some with 3 carts and 6 people. No marshall in sight. We actually drove around them and skipped hole 12. They charge top dollar but you dont get the commensurate service for for the price. I like the course too bad the staff lacks professionalism.
Long walk to pro shop
Course in great condition. I'm exhausted to walk my clubs from the parking lot to the pro shop. Provide a shuttle please.
Walked it as course is overseeded
It was walking only, but it allowed us to get a feel for the property. The holes were pretty straightforward and the greens in good shape. There's water early and probably water when it rains.
You may also be able to watch SDFC train there this winter and spring
So slow
Some thing must be done to improve the pace of play . It is terrible stand around at every hole waiting for the group in front of you to move.
Pace of Play
I played here in the middle of the week. The pace of play was so unbelievably slow, we quit after 12 holes and over 4.5 hours. At times there were 2 foursomes waiting at the next tee. A tournament was going on which clearly impacted everything. The tournament was NOT disclosed to me when I booked the tee time. The staff was indifferent and we weren’t given any kind of raincheck. This is just bad customer service. The course could have at least warned us ahead of time about the tournament and that we were looking at a 6 hour round BEFORE we shelled $100 per person to play. What a rip off!
Great Conditions
Course is in marvelous condition. The only thing missing were ball washers.
1st Timer
Played Oak Glen, fun and challenging with water and narrow targets. Tee boxes and fairways were in poor condition but the greens were very well kept.
Good Course but the mulch
Like the course but the mulch looks like it came from a landfill. At the price point its at you shouldn't see trash in all the mulch around the course.
Friendly place
Staff and golfers alike were friendly and accommodating. The course was in decent condition and the pace of play was excellent….when behind a slower group, they immediately let me play through, happened twice
Nice course Pace of play not so good
I know it was Sunday but when you pull up to a pair 3 and there are 3 foursomes waiting thats way to much The cart girl was great the staff inside were nice maybe put a marshall out to get people moving or let golfers know if you are no a single digit handicap please play the whites
Oak Glen Always Fun
play often little over priced but always fun and good shape fun and challenging layout
Our Fave Local Course
We love this course. It’s where we play on a regular basis. The Oaks Course is well-layed out and relaxing. The new water features really add to what was already a beautiful course. But, it is even better now. So many scenic views and panoramas.
The staff is always friendly, helpful and ready to help make our time enjoyable. The snack cart service is pretty dependable to drive up 2-4 times a round. We’re thankful to be able to fill our cart coolers with ice on both sides, one for the hub and one for me! Those mini cart coolers are a great feature. (Just ask for the ice.) We always gotta keep our electrolytes supply filled. The course bathrooms are roomy, clean, tidy and never lacking supplies. I appreciate this. It has a good reflection on the whole venue.
Can’t forget, we do love the wildlife in this peaceful valley. Besides the usual squirrels n bunnies n turtles, there are plenty of feathered friends such as busy woodpeckers, soaring hawks and elegant white and blue herons.
The carts are super comfy and well equipped w/ interactive GPS screens, food ordering, plenty of storage spaces and fold out windshields as needed. And the USB charging ports are so convenient for my iPhone which is always on as I use my Golfshot Plus app for keeping track of the games and scores. I keep a short cable in my bag. The seats are high quality leather, though would even be better without the unnecessary “hump” in the middle. But that’s a minor concern.
The cost is competitive especially for a Golf Course / Country Club like Singing Hills aka Sycuan Golf resort where the greens and fairways are always beautifully managed. But, with as often as we play, we are very grateful for the discounts that are offered as a Golfpass+ member.
First class for economy
Everything about this place is top notch, the staff, carts, course, 19th hole. Love it.
