Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen
About
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.

Decent
They’re redoing Oak right now, so that being said they’re trying their best to make the most of it. That being said, they should not be charging $90 on a weekend for the condition it is in. The staff are awesome but they’re just overcharging for this place. Can’t wait to see it when the construction is done!

Not in good shape
Given the heat wave, every course is struggling to keep their fairways and greens watered we. Even Torrey was pretty brown earlier this week. That being said, the rough (and even fairways in places) was completely out of control. Longer than Torrey pre-tournament in places and uneven. Had multiple shots just off the fairway that were in 6 inches or more of weeds and multiple shots that stuck in swaths of weeds just off the green. This was clearly a result of neglect, not an intentional decision to preserve the grass.
For the price, you can find much better.

Horrible Course Conditions
This course was in terrible shape and they are still charging $90 on a weekday. Additionally, their cart policy is simply ridiculous. The staff makes all singles pair up in one cart even if the course is empty (as it was when I played). They actually made me wait around because there were no other singles to pair up with at my tee time. In the age of COVID, this policy makes zero sense...especially when the course is empty.

NOT IN GOOD SHAPE
Played this course alot and always been a great deal but yesterday was terrible. Fairways are scorched (which I can deal with because of the heat) but it seems that since they are redoing Oak course, they dont care about this one- esp for $90.
What was worse was the staff. Snack shop at 10 was closed (even thoughh they told us it was open, groundskeeper was watering our green at 2pm for over 10min while we are on the fairway waiting to hit onto it and when we asked for ice at the snack shack for our cooler, were told they cant give us ice- despite spending money & buying drinks. 103 degrees out and they cant give out ice.
Hi, we’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right. Please contact us directly at the pro shop. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Very disappointed with what this course has fallen to
This course use to be one of the nicest in San Diego but unfortunately in the last year or so has been let go. They clearly have stop putting money into this course to maintain it. You walk in and have 4 people in the pro shop for no apparent reason. I'm sure with 2 is good enough, that allows them to have 2 more people as green keepers. The rough is way over grown, fairways soaked and muddy. Bunkers with hard sand filled with rocks. Greens were ok but clearly needed some work also. Overall a depressing feeling at this course, the Staff also seems to be upset with the conditions. They seem to maybe know this course will be sold or closed in the near future. It's sad because Sycuan casino clearly is doing well but they have chosen to separate themselves from this course.

Top course
It’s definitely one of the better golf courses in San Diego. Just wish it wasn’t as pricey but with the way things are going with the popularity of golf it’s excepted. But overall it’s a fun course to play.

Policy issue
Was a single on slow day and given my own cart, great for my situation as care giver to homebound in-laws. Upon first tee Rick said must pair up in cart. I explained my position was told this is policy! Told me Al said I must! It was very slow day even let other twosome hang back and play alone….. I would have appreciated extra health care consideration since they even issued my own cart to begin.

Bad policy!
I checked in assigned a cart as a single all great! About to tee off and was asked by Rick to share cart with other single already in cart. I explained I’m elder care giver like to stay alone. Rick said no it’s policy or pay another $20. I asked for his boss, said it’s Al and he said no, that’s it! Place wasn’t busy just wanted more $$$.
Too bad I’m a senior who cares for homebound senior and no flexibility for the POLICY.

Single Golfers Beware
The course was is decent condition, but the pace of play was slow and not a marshal in sight to help. If you play this course as a single golfer, you will be charged an additional $25 if you want your own cart. This is a brand new policy and an obvious cash grab by the course management. It is too bad that a course already charging around $100 a round on a weekday also wants to soak you for another $25 for a single cart!
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Worth the drive
Just a fair course set into a little valley. Went with my 24 year old son. We had a blast. The carts must have the UC San Diego IT department programming them. This cart drove itself and ALWAYS made sure you were safe. Greens were a little soft and everything bit. I loved the long par 3 with the waterfall on the right.
I would play it again

Works for me!
Lots of course improvement taking place now however I think on only one hole we played a temporary green. Fairways good. Greens good. Greg value for the money, GPS carts with ball/club washer and ice chest are nice features. We’ll play again soon.

Lovely Friday Afternoon Round
Grabbed a hot deal for $68 on a Friday at noon. We got sent out early and played in about 4.5 hours but never really waited too long to make it miserable. Greens were slow but in very good condition. Fairways were hit and miss just like most courses right now.
