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.

Golfer Reviews
Great Time
Course was well kept and the greens were as true as ever. Great rates for this type of course. Military members have better rates by calling. The only "complaint" was only seeing the Cart Lady once, but there were ample opportunities to fill up at other places on the course, my timing was off tho. Great place to play, don't hesitate.
Enjoyable
Got a "Hot Deal" to play this course. It's a good resort type course.It doesn't beat you up. There are some challenging holes and some are narrower so you have to be able to hit a straighter shot off the tee, but the course isn't terribly long so being a little shorter off the tee doesn't hurt.
Nice chipping and putting area to practice or warm up. The driving range is off mats but you can go in front of them to tee some up.
Beautiful Course w/challanges
Really nice facilities and staff. Pace was average but to be expected since they consider this a "resort". Had to wait a bit on each hole, but not bad. The greens were in great shape and the pin placements were tough. The course is pretty straight forward, but does require some ball placement and strategy with the trees and hazards involved. Fun to play!
Beautiful
The layout was awesome and the greens and fairways were in excellent shape
Enjoyable Outing
I booked a three generation outing for myself, my dad and my son (78, 54, 27). My son invited his friend last minute and the friendly staff added this forth for the same advance booking rate! The putting green and driving range were busy yet in good condition. The course was in very good condition, greens were medium to quick and well groomed though a bit spotty from some folks not fixing their ball marks. The course was green and the grounds crew kept the greens watered mid-day amidst unseasonable 80+ degree sunshine! Pace of play was good and we saw the marshall on both the front & back side! On this first visit, we enjoyed our day together as well as the course layout. We'll definitely be back!
Still a great course
still love this course after 30 years. the driving range the putting green the chipping greens and the different courses you have to choose from.
only thing I would change is the cart and beverage service. the beverage cart past us one time throughout the day and they didn't stop to see if we were in need of anything
A hidden San Diego
I skipped the reviews, and went into this course with no expectations. I have to say it was an excellent experience. The course grass (not sure what type) actually plays better as the day goes on. According to the starter is has something to do with the greens blooming after midday (I'm writing this review several months after playing so its tough to recall the exact conversation). Even though the region had virtually zero rainfall in the months prior, the conditions were pristine. There were minimal bare spots on the turf and everything was well manicured. To enable the fairways and putting surfaces to stay green, they have to sacrifice watering some of the outer regions of the fairways. You'll see these areas that are mulched. Good news is the mulch is laid down neatly and has an aesthetic appeal, and you can take a drop should an errant shot land there. When I landed a good shot on the green it didn't bounce or skip off like some other courses in the area. I found the course staff to be very courteous and friendly. My only gripe was that there was minimal marshal presence which only really factored in on a few of the holes where there were bottlenecks. Still, I didn't have to wait too long and finished in around 4 1/2 hours which is just right for me (a round that is too quick takes away from the experience IMO). The course is challenging but i didn't find it to be frustrating at all. The course conditions will help any golfer. Great experience and I am definitely planning to make a return trip soon.
Golf anytime
I only got to play two holes had a family emergency, the staff there was nice enough to return my money, I definitely will play there again
This course fell short of typically great conditions
Typically, this course is in great shape from tee to green. This time the fairways were in terrible shape. They must have over seeded them because the grass in the fairways was at rough length in most areas Any shot from the tee box or shots short of the green was reduced to carry only as the grass would impede any roll out of your shot. The greens we're in good shape was you got to them and putts rolled true. My main complaint was that there was no warning on GolfNow of the fairway conditions so I could make a value decision on playing on those conditions.
Not recommended currently
Chose to play Willow Glen course having enjoyed it a few years ago. This time it was not so pleasant. The course fairways were almost entirely rough. A number of times it was hard to find the ball in the middle of the fairway. On the 2nd hole we ran into a five some. Not sure why courses would allow this in the middle of the day? The pace slowed to a crawl. So not sure if the very shaggy fairways are the norm here at the moment, but it is not a fun experience. Of course neither is playing behind a group of 5.
Golf Is Already Tough Enough
Ditto the reviewer "Dreadful". I too booked on GolfNow 'hot deal' and have played many cart path only courses because of numerous course conditions & policy (i.e. recently played Poppy Hills - superb conditions). I also noted cart path only; but, I certainly didn't anticipate being additionally challenged for hitting dead-center fairway drives; going on Easter egg hunts for the ball...no such thing as "keeping it on the short grass". Golf is already tough enough!! On top of this, slow play ahead...losing daylight guys! Oh, and a pair jack-rabbiting around to holes and hitting into us on 17...ball went under the cart.
Greens were beautiful; Wife and I enjoyed the course surroundings & some of the beautiful homes. Could have been more enjoyable.
Wow golf wonderland!
First time here and had a good time. The course had memorable rock formations all along the course. A lot of mature trees shedding leaves, water hazards adds to challenge. The place had 3 courses, restaurants and nice putting greens and driving range. Plenty of parking but your cart cant reach it so drop off your bags in front.
Dreadful
I can see this course being absolutely gorgeous. However I booked on GolfNow for a hot deal like I do every time I play, and all that was stated was cartpath only. The greens were nice but the fairway grass was approx 4-6 inches long and every shot was like hitting out of the second cut of rough. I lost 3 balls that were hit in the center of the fairway cause the grass was so long they were unable to find after looking for 5 min. My partner who I never met also lost 2 balls. The tee time did not indicate that course was under any repair or the fairways were not cut!!! Just simply said cart path only. Very disappointed and not sure I will return!!!
Overseeded but great
Told at check in that course was over seeded but playable. On vacation so played anyway with cart path only not expecting much. As it turns out the overseed was minor inconvenience. Layout great. Staff tremendous. Pace of play fast even with cart path only. Restaurant wonderful. Booked round for the next day. Thanks Sycuan
