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.

Conditions abysmal - or worse

Shaggy fairways - that's where there wasn't dirt - you'd understand not watering the rough but bare dirt on the fairways and approaches!? They make Mission Trails look like a golfing paradise.
Restaurant undersized, overpriced, and rude.
Have the a second chance, but not a third!

course under repair

No one advised us that the course we played at full price had just reseeded just plugged the greens and it was cart path only.
Golf shop people acted like they could care less.
The said that was golfnow problem.
We had actually talked to the course the week before and was not told.
Bad news for golf now as well as the course.
Let the buyer be ware.

Good time at a pleasant course

This is a nice layout with a few signature holes, with nice views from highly elevated tees on par 4s. The greens hold up very good, you can really make the ball spin and run very smoothly. The course is not crowded at all so the pace is great. Yesterday was very hot, so that was the only down side. Overall a very good course to play in and an amazing value for the $ 20 hot rate deal.

This was my first time playing any of the Sycuan courses just because they are a bit of a drive to get to. I really enjoyed the course and intend to play there again next week.

Really Decent Layout But Make Sure You Get A Deal

I got a deal (Approx 30% off the normal $95 rate I see all the time) so it was worth the $60. Conditions were favorable and staff were friendly and accommodating. Rough was thick and patchy in areas and there were leaves around. Don't miss the fairways. The Range was closed for construction, which it dearly needs, so I wasn't able to warm up other than putting. That probably explained the deal I got. However, it's really in a great valley where there are with plenty of scenic views, so I always enjoy the round. It's actually a decent walking course. Nothing too hilly or tough. The pace was really good but it was a weekday, so it wasn't very crowded. Overall, I was pleased with the round and experience.

Course in poor condition

I booked the tee time a week in advance on Golfnow and there was no indication/warning of the greens being aerated. When I check-in, I'm told that the greens were aerated last Sunday but the greens are in good shape. I'm also warned that the fairways are ready to be over seeded the next day and the rough would then be cut. The warning was pretty accurate since the fairways looked dead and the rough was ridiculously long.
On top of the course conditions, my threesome got bumped from our 7:37 tee time that I booked on golfnow. I checked in at 6.55 and my partners checked in at 7:10 yet our tee time was pushed back for no reason.
Sycuan should put the warning on golfnow if the greens have been punched in the last week and the staff should honor scheduled tee times especially when all the players are in time.
I'll never pay $60 to play a course and receive that kind of treatment.

Nice challenging layout and fantastic greens.

Course had a 1 hour frost delay so they did a shotgun start and we started on the 3rd hole. Pace was good throughout and they fit us in nicely to finish the first 2 holes. Normal winter time conditions off the fairways but the green were pristine and rolled fairly fast; i.e. downhill putts were hard to stop. Nice courteous staff but we never saw the beer cart the entire round and we finished at 12:30 pm.

Good track with some challenging holes

Overall we enjoyed playing Willow Glen but were unprepared for the lack of services (no beverage cart and the snack shack at the turn was closed the day we played). The course is nestled in a valley surrounded by beautiful rocky mountains and offers plenty of nice views.

Pro shop did not mention that the course had been recently punched and that many of the tee boxes were being redone

I think the rate should have been more like $30-$40 based on current course conditions, even on a weekend. The only thing that made it almost OK is that there was no one else out there, so we had it to ourselves. Pro shops should always inform clients of any issues with course conditions and it is very disappointing when they don't.

To clarify, the course I played was Willow Glen. I played it again this week and it was in much better shape now. I just think it was very overpriced based on the previous condition. My recommendation is to always ask the pro shop about course status before you book.
