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.

This would easy be a 4+ star review. However when I arrived to check in, the gent behind the counter had maybe three words for me. I said I was there for my tee time all he said it's $125.00. I asked about the cart, all he said was #16. I let him know it was my first time and asked where to get the cart, and where the 1st tee was. He pointed to the line of carts and said the starter is over there. Over where?

In San Diego for $125.00 I can play Coronado, Steel Canyon or any of the muni courses. I've played all over this county for 20yrs. I don't think I'll be back to Singing hills.

A lot of fun!

Grabbed a last minute spot for the Willow Glen course and had an awesome time! Very fun layout, greens were great, walkable course too. My only gripes were the par 3 distances. Three of the four par 3’s were all the same distances, around 182y. The other was 174y so really almost all the same. More variety would be welcomed. All in all, I can’t wait to go back. Fun course!

Becoming unplayable

This course has been slowly getting worse over the last few months. Everyone is teeing off super late & the rounds get slower and slower. My last round is was stuck behind an 8 sum playing together. Not sure how the course allows this. My previous round we got stuck behind a tournament and ended up playing a 6 hour round behind a bunch of drunk golfers. This course has lost all control and wouldn't recommend it for how expensive it is.

Best course value in east county

East San Diego County has really let a lot of their courses go to the wayside. Except for steel Canyon and singing hills is not worth the drive. Seeing hills with the value of how they keep up their course is definitely. Super nice staff very walkable, challenging. I am a mid high handicap and a challenge, but overwhelmed, of course. But I have played with some really good players who find a great value. Highly recommend

Rude

They don’t incentivize residence of San Diego County to come out there and play when they charge the same rate for a nonresident as a resident. There’s plenty of other courses in San Diego county they gave you the benefit of being a resident and give you the discount for living here the guy in the pro shop named Caleb was super rude on the phone and I would not play or go play somewhere else.

As someone who is older and who's distance has gotten shorter and shorter it would be really nice to have a fourth tee-box shorter than the whites but longer than the ladies teas

Nice course and good value

The guy that checked us in wasn’t very friendly but everyone else on the course and in the restaurant were very friendly and courteous. Nice bar and grill for 19th hole and the course was very nice. Our second time playing here when we visit San Diego and we will be back.
