About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6651 yards
Slope 128
Rating 72.3

Willow Glen is one of two 18-hole championship courses at Singing Hills Golf Club, 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.

Disappointing

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

First Time Playing

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.

Under Construction

They are doing major construction work to this course. It is almost criminal that they are keeping it open and charging people to play here. Avoid this course until they are done working. It is worth maybe $20 to play under the current conditions NOT the $85 or over they are charging.

Cottonwood 2.0 for double the money

Better layout than cottonwood, but that’s about it. Construction on course, large patches of dead/dying sod, punched greens that still haven’t regrown. And to top it all off, probably the worst carts I’ve ever experienced. Auto governed depending on location on the course, which is all wrong due to the construction. Unable to drive into random areas despite it being a glorified parkland course. Stick to Pine Glen if you must visit, and go elsewhere for a true 18. Probably head to Carlton Oaks next time, at least that’s a Pete Dye course.

Construction site

The staff did not provide any warning about the massive construction 🦺 efforts throughout the whole course. One of the par 5 was closed so we only played 17 holes; Several temporary T boxes.

This is normally a great course to play, but was very disappointed this time.

4 holes short

Prior to the reservation, we should have been told about the closure of 4 holes and alternate greens. The new work on #4 does look great.

Got a discounted tee time because there was work being done on course and informed there were only fifteen holes. Turns out there were only fourteen holes as 6-9 were under construction

Back after a while

Playable holes were in great condition, much better than the last time I played it. Green d

were in great shape. Unfortunately, there was construction going on and they closed one of their signature holes and shortened two others. No mention of this when we checked in.

Course under renovation

Very disappointed to see the extent of renovations ongoing as we were unaware at time of booking. Course conditions were not good-bunkers hard, faiways in poor shape. Disappointing as we had enjoyed this course several years ago. We were a threesome & frequently waited on the twosome ahead of us.

Bar staff were very helpful in getting a meal which met my dietary requirements.

Course under renovation

This was not our first visit to the Singing Hills courses. We appreciate the beauty of the setting, the excellent pro shop & amenities but this time we were disappointed as we did not know that the course was under renovation & therefore several holes were modified. Should have suspected that given the good online pricing! Challenging interesting track which no doubt will be improved by the remake. Would have appreciated knowing what to expect!
