Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan - Willow Glen

Nice course it better than average condition. Greens a little rough.

Great test for all levels, some slow play due to weekend party golfers, but it’s a nice track

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

I enjoyed this course. First time playing there. The staff was courteous and helpful, the amenities were nice, and the course was absolutely beautiful; tucked away in the mountains near El Cajon. The grass was soft as carpet, which the staff will tell you seems to blossom in the afternoon. There wasn't a bad hole really. Many signature holes here. All in all a great course. Only minor problem is multiple areas where there is mulch. I wasn't completely sure if i could take relief there. But nothing to take away from the overall beauty and steller course conditions. Must play if in San Diego.

The courses at Sycuan (aka Singing Hills) are nearly always in great shape. Our round yesterday was no exception.

Tee boxes are manicured. Fairway are defined. The rough is fairly forgiving. Traps are full of white sand. Greens are fast but fair. The trees are mature, and they always have beautiful flower beds.

The lounge is a little "dated" but homey and serviced by a friendly staff.

Really very pleasant, I just wish this place was priced a bit lower.

A highly recommend it!

Had a great time here. Good value, pace of play good even though we played behind a 5some, course in good condition.

For a weekend warrior, this course is exceptional. Challenging hole layouts, water hazards, protected greens. I did use up a good chunk of GolfNow Rewards for my friends and I, but the value would still have been great with the HotDeal price of $62.

Played the Blues (6651/72.3/128) in 4H Saturday as a 4some mid-day following a tournament. The weather was breezy, overcast and in the high 70's.

I really like this layout, nice variety of long/short and straight/dogleg holes. The par 3's are tough and demanding, the par 5's challenging. Good GPS on above average carts.

The tees were semi lush and nice to play from except the par 3;s which were pretty beat up.

The fairways were semi lush and well maintained with few divots.

The rough was mostly semi lush with some hardpan and wood chips mixed in under and around the hundreds of trees that line the fairways.

The sand traps were well maintained with fine, hard packed sand.

The greens were medium speed and mostly smooth. They held approach shots well and were firm. They are large and while not many have multiple tiers, they all have crests and crowns to deal with. Getting irons or chips on the correct side of the green where the hole is located is important here. The greens were slower and bumpier than what I have usually experienced here.

The customer service was excellent from everyone encountered, especially Gary the starter who got me out in a group 30 minutes before my tee time. Drink cart out patrolling, we saw it numerous times. Everything was above average, but the course is usually in better condition than I experienced this visit. I enjoy the layout, fun 18 holes of golf. Recommended = Yes.

Not a bad course but not very challenging in my opinion. I would not suggesr it to a low handicap player. Condition was pretty good and green very nice.

Always a pleasure to golf at the old "Singing Hills"....... constant improvements make me look forward to playing either course.
