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.

Great course and excellent experience

I have played Willow Glen many times and seen it in various conditions. At the moment the course could not be in better shape. The greens were all perfect, fast and rolled true. fairways and bunkers also in perfect shape. Staff was friendly and welcoming and they don't gouge you at the snack bar. Prices are fair. The only negative at the moment is that the driving range is being re-sodded. Looks like it will be really nice very soon.

Great Value

Best course in San Diego for the value. Greens, tees, and fairways were in great condition and the pace of play was great for a mid morning tee time on a Sunday.

Course has been under construction for a long time, charging full price to play is ridiculous

I’ve been a long time player of Singing Hills. Yes, they are making improvements, but the cost of play here is way out of line. It’s a mid-level course at best, and with the recent price hikes it’s way over priced. It took over 5 hours to play Willow Glen, because there are no marshals anywhere to be found to move slow players along, and the course wasn’t even that busy. Construction equipment all over the course, cart paths closed, equipment and trash in areas on many holes. Greens were “Ok” at best, very inconsistent. Basically since Covid this course and its owners think it’s much better than it is, and while clearly it will be “improved” (although courses are exactly the same and they demoed Pine Glen) once construction is completed, how about charging prices that are more in line with the current conditions? I would not recommend this course, other courses in the area are better, and they don’t overcharge for what basically comes down to facilities improvements, not course upgrades. Building a soccer complex on a golf course (current construction) might be a windfall for the owners, but does nothing for the golfers or the golfing community that has been loyal to Singing hills for many years. How about focusing on golf, and not changes that just try to justify the increased prices to take advantage of the golfers?

Beautiful course

Great course but didn’t see a Marshall on either Oak Glen nor Willow Glen. Pace of play was 5.3 hours for 18. Absolutely beautiful scenery and the course was in great shape. We did encounter a group (7) of teenagers walking around being typical teenager punks yelling as we hit. I think the clubhouse should take note of random people just being able to get on not having anything better to do.

willowglen soft greens

Course is in great shape and it’s a good layout. Greens roll pure but are way too soft. Greens are always too soft here and it makes chipping around the greens unpredictable as simple chip shots around the greens leave ball marks even on bump and runs. If they could figure out a way to firm up the greens it would be one of the better courses in Sd. Greens are too soft at this course year around no matter when you play it. Hopefully they figure it out one day

Lighting and Thunder 5 holes into round.

Heavy rain, winds, lightning and thunder. Pro Shop staff not friendly and not concerned with customer service will not be back to play because of lack of concern with satisfaction..
