Rating 71.8

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 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.

Great play

All conditions were great.

My only (small) complaint is the long walk with heavy bag from the parking lot to the pro (check-in) shop.

Will always play

I’ve played Oak Glen 5-6 times and it is fun every time. Course is fun and not too difficult, plus walkable which saves you some money. Will play this course any day I am free and a tee time is available.

Pace of play was the only minor issue and I think it just Had to do with the group in front of us playing very slow. Great course. Can’t wait for the driving range to be complete

Our Fave Local Club

Singing Hills (@ Sycuan Resort) used to offer 3 courses from which to choose. Willow Glen and Oak Glen are both full length. Pine Glen was an executive course. (According to one of the marshalls, that parcel of land was sold and there is now a soccer facility being built out in its place. No worries, as we never really played that course. But, I do hope the new soccer facility won’t take from the coveted serenity of this area.) Willow Glen is the most challenging course as it winds around and up into the hills a bit with fun tee boxes perched from above. Oak Glen stays mostly in the valley, though there is plenty of trouble with water and picturesque trees everywhere. The grounds are very well managed. The landscape is beautiful and the greens like carpet. It’s a verdant oasis nestled in a valley between the hills. We love all the new waterfalls, fountains and lakes features that have been recently added. The therapeutic beauty is so worth it. There seems to be constant improvements in process going on.

There is a food cart that is “usually” making the rounds, as well as a full size restaurant and snack bars (with restrooms) for food and drink options. There are also convenient restrooms (not portapotties) available out on the courses.

And there is an abundance of scenery of which is a big part of our therapy when golfing. We like to play here (1-3) times each month as possible on a week day. It has been rare to experience issues with pace even though this is a popular course in the East County of San Diego. That’s a good indication that they do a great job of booking tee times.

The carts are new and comfy w/ leather seats, full windshields, a nice GPS system monitor and even Bluetooth speakers if you want to play music through them. I especially appreciate the USB charging inputs for my iPhone. (Bring a cord if you like to keep your device fully charged.) There are even coolers and ball cleaners installed on them. Plus ball cleaners at each tee box.

Besides all the flora, the grounds are always clean and tidy. Singing Hills makes for some gorgeous photo ops. Our favorite course is Oak Glen. It’s a peaceful place. Except when we feel like tossing a club. But, that’s not the course’s fault.

Single Golfers Beware

I played here on a slow weekday. After paying for my round and cart (almost $100) in the pro shop, I was informed by a staffer they pair up all single golfers in a cart. This was news to me and they have never done this before. When I asked about this, the staffer brushed me off. He then informed me they didn't actually have another single to pair me up with, BUT I'd have to wait around until they did. This was a slow day at the course and there were at least 30 to 40 available carts outside the pro shop. So instead of just giving me the cart I'd already paid for, he told me I could have my own cart for an additional fee or wait around indefinitely until another single showed up. Since I wanted to golf and not wait around, I paid more on top of the $100 I had already paid. The staffer actually seemed happy he'd cornered me in paying an additional fee. What a horrible experience!

The whether was bad. After 5 holes played, it was raining and thunder storms. We requested raincheck, but they refused. They told us either wait till the rain stop or leave the course. It was terrible.
