Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Oak Glen

First let em say that this is a very mediocre track for $110.

Here are the issues we encountered:

No golf ball washers on ANY of the Tee Boxes or on the Golf Carts

No drinking water stations anywhere on the golf course

Generally only one rake available at most traps, so, people being lazy, they do not walk if the rake is not close by and the traps are generally not raked where players played their shots within the traps

The cart girl only appeared once during our front 9 and did not appear during the back nine.

The round took all of 5 hours to play. If there were a Ranger, he was nowhere to be seen during our round. That being said, we were not held up, nor were we pushed from behind.

The greens are the best part of the course: they are supple enough to hold an approach shot and are firm enough to have true rolls during a putt.

Considering all of this for the cost, we will not be returning.

We can’t say enough about the quality of the fairways and the greens. The greens are soft and spongy and yet you have to watch the speed! They are pristine right now! Perfect amount of challenge. The water holes add a great deal to this course. We have seen it transform over the years. Sycuan put a lot of money into Oak and you can telll. The course is at its best!

Not pleased with the treatment we received at the pro shop or on the course. They charged us for 3 additional players when we only booked for 10. I was told when I booked the tee time that even though we had 10 players they were going to put us down for 12 so that we wouldn't be holding up the rate of play. We ended up having 9 of the 10 players show up because one of them had COVID and couldn't make it. But they decided to charge me $1,200 for 9 players. Secondly we were threatened by the guy from the pro shop that if we were caught playing near our 2 groups of 4, that we would be booted off the course. We were told that the Marshall would be on the lookout for us. This was WHILE WE WERE TRYING TO TEE OFF ON THE FIRST HOLE BTW.

We have played here the last 3 years for our annual company Christmas party. Unfortunately we will not be coming back to play here. We will happily go play another course that is welcoming to our group.

I would also like to reiterate that the guy from the pro shop was super rude and left a terrible taste. My wife was very offended at the way he spoke to us and made us feel stupid for even being out there.

I would like to get refunded for the additional charges to my debit card that were NOT authorized and I feel tricked and swindled by the pro shop.

What a fabulous round. Course was beautiful. Scenery was amazing and pace was grand. Love the pro shop and this whole facility. We both enjoyed our day and round tremendously!

No one is going to tell you that this course is STILL under construction (and has been for years). The day I played ALL of the fairways were closed to cart traffic and the 18th hole was completely closed. While I appreciate the improvements, they are still charging a hefty fee to play here in spite of the course not being fully playable. The carts here are geofenced and will just randomly stop working and force you to back up. This would be fine if there was any rhyme or reason to the geofencing. It got really annoying to have my cart stop working for no apparent reason.

Great track all around. Greens were nice fairways too. Pace of play was quick, played in 4flat.

More should be done to keep the pace of play moving. No marshal patrol insuring everyone was was keeping up .

Course in much better shape than last year greens were mowed nicely.

Course is looking good. Pace was great, especially for willow being shut down for upgrades. Greens rolled well. Weekend rates are getting out of control. Not just here but everywhere it seems.

Greens beautiful, fairways average, tough course, expensive to play.

Love the layout and design of this course. For the price of $100 I feel they could improve the tee boxes and bunkers. We also got stuck behind 3 ladies that were taking their sweet time and had almost a 2 hole gap in the group in front of them….no Marshall in site. You can play a lot nicer courses in the area for less money.

We have played here for years now. Our favorite course is Oak Glen. There’s so much to say about the courses overall. (I say it mostly in the many pictures I take and post on Yelp.) It’s so picturesque. The landscape has always been beautiful and well taken care of. But now there’s more gorgeous water features, waterfalls and ponds. It may mean more trouble to avoid and ways to lose a ball, but it’s so pretty to look at.

The course itself is so well manicured. The greens are smooth and pretty consistent overall. The tee boxes can sometimes have small spots to avoid but are mostly in good condition. The facilities are clean and nice. Good to know for potty stops! The carts are conveniently equipped with fantastic GPS screens that are very accurate. A great feature to have in very comfortable carts. And we can always know there will be a cart girl coming around for us to pick up a Gatorade or something to eat as needed. There is a good selection from which to choose.

I know there is even more work being done around the courses, but it’s worth whatever temporary inconvenience there might be to make things even better. It’s great to see the ownership really investing into making this place a golfer’s choice destination. And we are so thankful that we are able to find great deals so we can regularly enjoy Sycuan (affectionately aka Singing Hills) Golf Course!

An eightsome playing in front of us slowed down the entire field. Where was a Marshall to cut this off?
