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.

Well maintained course that keeps getting better
Always a pleasure to golf at the old "Singing Hills"....... constant improvements make me look forward to playing either course.
Wonderful Layout
Beautiful course in perfect condition. The layout coming back to center with snack shop and bathrooms every 5 holes was fantastic. Every course should be so accommodating. This course immediately became my wife's favorite.

Outstanding course--great conditions and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Good price from golf now
This course was a bit better than oak glen, more challenging. 35 bucks on golf now. Nice greens, good layout. Loved the uphill par 4, then the next hole was downhill, also beautiful. The 18th par 3, very nice. Won't pay 70 bucks to play though. Good track
Out of the Way
Friend got a free round for hm and his brother. So we went to golfnow to get our twosome round. Showed up on the page, clicked it, said there was a problem. Finally called the number, they 'fixed' it. Saw my credit card bill. Billed three times for the round. Went to the course, he said we had booked it twice. Waiting to see what happens next. As for the course. Fantastic greens. They were 'punched' two weeks ago and putted perfect. Plenty of grass, way too many trees for one of my friends. Good bunkering. Overall? Had a great time despite the #4 hole where my buddy took a 15. Just couldn't get it over the water from a bare lie. If it wasn't 60 miles from my house, I'd play it a lot more often.
A nice course
The course layout was fine... a few curious holes though but that was ok.
Plays like a shorter course because on many holes you have to hit a landing area that does not require a driver for the longer hitters.
Greens were in great shape and the fairways average to good. Trees play a big role here gotta be straight over long.and you get a lot of roll.
Greens were multi tiered. For more of a challenge, I'd make them faster... a bit slow for me but true rolls.
For some reason, iron shots go farther here so keep that in mind on your approach shots.
I was a single and got paired with two others and we had a great time and finished in 4 hours (1:30 tee time).
Staff was average demeanor not rude but a bit distant/ distracted. But it is a resort... I'd expect more from staff.
Amenities top notch no complaints on that.
I'd play it again but course seems to be missing the "wow" factor I've had at other venues.
Fun Course for Novice and Experienced Golfers
This was my first time playing Willow Glen. I played Oak Glen (the other 18 hole course on the property) a couple of times before. By comparison, I think Willow Glen is more aesthetically pleasing, and the level of difficulty of the two courses is similar. Both courses are fun to play. Above all, I appreciate the variety.
This course caters to players of a range of skill levels. The course presents enough obstacles for someone who shoots in the 80's but is forgiving enough for someone who shoots in the 90's to low 100's. While there are plenty of lateral water hazards, and a few water hazards (ponds), you shouldn't lose many balls even with errant shots, because there is extra space on this course. If you put yourself in play off the tee, you can score well here. Tip: Driver is not always the best play off the tee.
Very few houses border the course, which I like. The views in the valley that this course resides are beautiful. It's a peaceful place to play. I recommend walking as it is a mostly flat course. There were two elevated tees that made for a fun shots down to the fairway below.
This course is fully loaded with all of the amenities. One of my favorite things about playing here is that the starter announced our tee time and welcomed us to the tee. Sometimes it's the little things that make all of the difference. Also, the tee times stayed on schedule, which is rare these days. It's all to common that when I arrive at a course (not this one) with enough time to warm-up, the staff wants me to tee off ASAP, just because the tee is open. It can be frustrating. Fortunately, Sycuan seems to stick with the tee schedule.
To sum it up, the fairly long drive to this course is more than worth it. This is a great course, that is run efficiently. It is a good walking course and if I can pay less than $70 on a weekend (walking rate), I'll consider booking a tee time.
Weather factor
The weather was definitely a factor.(rainy, wet, cold and very windy) Friendly staff, pace was great!!! (see weather) Will have to comeback and get revenge on the weather. Love the elevation changes. First time for my buddy, he found a new love with this course.
Nice Course
Played this course for the first time in many years. Enjoyed the pace of play, course conditions, and facilities, Green fees were reasonable. Will definitely make this a "must play" when visiting the San Diego area.
Fair but challenging course layout
Course was in great shape. Greens were relatively fast but rolled true. Fairways were well manicured and the pace of play was excellent finishing in just under 4 hours.
Beautiful Course
It's been a number of years since I golfed Willow Glen. The course looked great and I saw many improvements. Sichuan has done a nice job making improvements.
perfect day
willow glen is a great layout. not overly long, but it will test your whole bag. greens were perfect. the bunkers were in consistent, excellent shape. will play it again soon.
Great Course
Nice setting, Fairways and Greens in good shape. Pace of play was an issue.
worth the trip
This is one of those courses which may not be your favorite but it never seems there's anything to complain about. I don't play here alot but I always enjoy the visit.
