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.

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.

Ice/water horders

Course is rad. Been playing here for years. But the only way they will give you a cooler full of ice is if you buy a $46 6 pack of beer. We bought a few beers, water and Gatorade. They gave us 1 16 ounce cup of ice. It’s in the mid 90’s out there. Come on people. You own a casino. You don’t have enough money. Maybe when someone passes out from heat stroke they will change it. Also. No coolers on the tee boxes. Get it together people. We’re thirsty!

Nice San Diego Inland Golf!

Willow Glen was a fun track . Required a variety of tee shots. Greens were very good. Staff could be more aware of what’s going on out there ….

Nice pro Shop!

Very Sad to see where Singing Hills is Headed

Singing Hills has been one of my favorite places to play for over 20 years. However, their recent changes and complete lack of concern has led me to never visit again. Recently, they removed colored flags from the greens. I brought this up to quite a few employees at the course, and was eventually directed to the General Manager. When I spoke to the GM, I was told that is the way it is, if you have a cart you have the pin location information. I responded, what about walkers, and then suggested they create pin sheets, loan out rangefinders to walkers, or just put the colored flags back. I was told this is the way it is and if I watched golf on the weekends I would see that they do not use colored flags, a comparison I find ridiculous as I have neither a caddy to supply the information or the time to walk the entire course in advance of playing.

During my last round there, on Tuesday, June 28th, the following occurred:

I looked forward to refilling my water and getting something additional to drink at the turn, but the snack bar was closed. I gave the pro shop a call to request the cart, but also closed. Never did we see the beverage cart during our round. When it is over 90 degrees, it would be nice to have a way to get something to drink.

Finally, as we approached the final hole, the GPS in the cart of my playing partners shut down for the day. I guess you were trying to make the riders feel the same pain we walkers feel going without information.

I emailed the course to discuss my concerns once again and received this reply from the Director of Golf:

Our policies are our policies and they are not going to change we are looking to partner with patrons that not have patrons that do not complain at the first sight of change. We have made some changes and most likely others are coming. You have every right to play where you want to play and we have every right to manage our business the way we see fit.

We feel at the end of the day we will have some nice courses that offer players a completive and nice place to play. I think at this point it’s probably best you move on.

Regards,

Alan Vallecorsa

Director Of Golf Operations

Alan is suggesting that I am in the wrong as I complained about "changes" and has told me not to play there in the future.

It must be nice to have so much demand that you can alienate very loyal customers, but I guess that is the situation Singing Hills is in. If you do decide to play there, beware if you are a walker as they are charging the same rate as the riding rate.
