Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen
About
Willow Glen is one of two 18-hole championship courses at Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan (formerly known as Sycuan Resort), which also boasts a 9-hole, par-3 course. Nestled in a valley between lush hillsides, the golf courses all offer stunning mountain views. The mountains also help to block the wind, which allows for more agreeable playing conditions. Willow Glen is slightly more challenging than the other championship course due to a hillier terrain and more fairways that are tightly lined with mature pines, oaks, and cottonwoods. The trees shape the landing zones and add definition to the doglegs. Proper placement off the tees is necessary for doing well on this course. Contoured mounding borders the greensides as well as more than 40 bunkers. Water also comes into play on six holes. The 11th through the 15th holes are an impressive stretch that presents a variety of challenges as well as unrivaled scenery.

Great Tee Tume
Singing Hill is a course that you can have fun, if you like playing golf with friends you see challenge your ability.
Terrible Experience
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.

I loved the remodeling!
I really enjoyed the place. I played with a couple visiting from Canada, and the 3 of us were very happy with the course. Without a doubt it is one of my 3 favorite courses in Southern California.
I hope to go back soon.

Great
Obviously, a recently renovated golf course; yet, very playable. Great pace of play could use a few more directions towards tee boxes, as first time players, it wasn’t always obvious. In a few years, it will be a Great golf course.

Great course - S L O W play
Slowest round I've played this year. In front of my 3some in carts: a 3some on carts, behind a 5some walking, behind a 3some walking, behind...no one. Cart Path Only all 18 holes - and no, no one informed us of this until we had already paid and reported to the starter. No, there was no accommodation for limited mobility. Hit the ball - drive - walk - hit - walk - drive again - wait for the groups in front to clear - repeat....every hole...nearly every shot.
We apologize for the slow pace of play during your round and for not being informed about the cart path only restriction beforehand. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and sharing your experience with us.
The New Willow Glen
The remodel has improved the course. More water and the greens are great. The fairway grass is not completely rooted and soft, probably will improve over time. The Red Tails Bar and Grill food was very good.
Thanks so much for the review and feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen.
Great improvements
Modifications currently underway and about complete have turned this track into a challenging yet fair challenge for most players. Course seems a bit longer than the other course at this facility therefor making this course the better option of the two if your interested in a lengthier track. Excellent pace of play Monday thru Thursday. Enjoyable and satisfying.
Thanks so much for review and feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen.
Under Construction
Before booking a tee time, I called the day prior to inquire about recent course construction. I was told the construction was done, and the course was back to normal.
The course was still under construction, with some detours in place. All 18 holes were available, but there was maintenance workers on the course throughout the round.
The snack shack following the ninth hole was closed and there was no beverage cart seen on the course throughout the day.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Marshall
Wife and I went off as a twosome.
Eventually the group in front of us waved us up on a par 3.
We played through and got on our way.
5 minutes later, the Marshall rolls up and gives us sh1t for playing slow? We explained that we just played through.
His own cart sheet and cart gps trackers would show what was going on.
His approach was rude.
We play fast and soon had 2 open holes behind us.
Lastly, our cart would stop and tell us to get on the cartpath.
Each time, we were on the cart path (see image).
.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review regarding your recent experience at our golf course. We apologize if you felt that the approach of our Marshall was rude and for any inconvenience caused by the cart path messaging. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our services.

Disappointing
Ongoing construction, many greens in poor shape. Consider playing the Oak course instead.

Singing hills, willow glen
Excellent greens, bunkers, staff great, need Marshall to keep pace of play moving. Lots of work going on, it is going to be a great course.

Give it a try
We were scheduled to play the Willow Glen course but the pro shop asked if we would mind playing the Oak Glen course (at the same rate we paid, which was $15 less per round) due to the fact they were working on sprinklers at Willow Glen. We agreed but were a little concerned about what the pace of play would be like since they were redirecting all the golfers to the one course. We were a twosome and the first three holes we had to wait quite a while on the foursome in front of us. They picked it up and we ended up finishing in 3 hrs 40 mins. The course was in great condition, they layout was interesting, and the water holes and water features were pretty. We ended up having lunch after the round and the staff in the bar, as well as the pro shop, were all very friendly. The course ended up being much nicer than we expected and for the price, I would recommend it.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen.
