Rating 72.3

Willow Glen is one of two 18-hole championship courses at Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan (formerly known as Sycuan Resort), which also boasts an 18-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.

Driving range closed?

Greens, tee boxes, fairways were all in great shape.

Third time here and the driving range is always netted off? Come on folks. Open up the driving range daily? I would like to see my shot shapes before I play. For the price they charge, I would expect to see ball washers at least at every other hole- there are zero ball washers. Cart service was good. Carts have coolers but no ice?

Pace. We were on our group in front of us, who didn’t know how to play ready golf. They kept advancing, then circling back 70 yards. We almost hit them once on accident. Was asked to speed up by the Marshall once, but literally every approach shot and tee off we waited for our group in front of us. 3 hours front nine. 2 hour back nine. Got done as soon as the sun setted. Could not stop to get food due to pace, feeling rushed on the back nine. Would play here again but not at noon. Has to be earlier to expect to finish here.

Cart path only

There were no advisories on Golf Now about cart path only !! By the time we found out about cart path only it was too late to cancel the tee time. The ruff was very tall next to the fairway and very hard to find your ball ! You had walk your butt off to find your ball ! After you found it you probably had the wrong club. It was not fun at all.

Great day on the course

Conditions were very good considering they are at the tail end of overseeding. Fun day. Only 1 hiccup. The starter slipped a group in front of us, pushing our time back about 15 minutes. No biggie, we're retired and not in a hurry.

Had taco Tuesday in the bar and grill after. Tacos were meh. Have something else.

Willow Glenn needs changes

Willow Glen course was overbooked. The rough was so thick and deep. It would take you 10 minutes to find a ball and if you did find it most of the time you couldn’t it was almost impossible to get out of the roof. You’d have to chop the ball like an ax. And then your bowl would only go 4 feet and it happened over and over and over you lose so many balls and becomes very stressful None of the courses etching Hills. The rough has never been like that. I hope they put it back to the way it used to be.

Hot weather
Walked

Great course, bad ameneties, no drinking water

Great fun and challenging course just too bad there was no cart person, closed half way house and no water fountains for a water refill areas during the hot mid day sun. It was walking only and a high of 95F so our group would at least have a cart attendant come and sell drinks or water. Called pro shop for water or cart attendant but none came. Hopefully will be better next time around.

Management Issues

The course recently underwent over seeding requiring walking only. The issue is that too many I experienced golfers are taking way to long to play the course and this location has no Marshall’s ensuring a decent pace of play. This cannot be overstated enough. It took close to three hours to complete SIX holes. Unacceptable.
