Rating 71.8

Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan (formerly known as Sycan Resort) offers two 18-hole championship courses, Oak Glen and Willow Glen, as well as an 18-hole, par-3 course. The courses are tucked into a valley, surrounded by mountains and sloping hillsides that provide stunning backdrops on almost every hole. The Sweetwater River runs through the Oak Glen Course, coming into play on several holes including the memorable fifth hole, which is definitely a contender for one of the best par 4s in San Diego. This challenging hole requires an accurate drive across the river. The gently rolling terrain is sprinkled with mature trees. The layout features undulating greens and tight fairways. It is a challenging golf course but it is generally forgiving off of the tees, which makes it slightly less difficult than the hillier Willow Glen Course from Singing Hills Golf Resort at Sycuan.

Excellent conditions

Sycuan pays no taxes, some of the extra cash is used to take great care of the courses.

Losing its Way

We are an older couple who has played both courses at Singing Hills over the years. We have watched the facility decline, not in terms of conditioning or capital improvements. The casino owner is clearly putting money into the course. The problem is with the players. The course now appeals to the young male golfer whose main desire is to play music on the course, hit the ball a mile without regard to where it goes, celebrate decent shots with raucous cheers, deplore the bad shots with obscenities, and consume as much alcohol on the course as possible. Two staff members of the course to whom we recently spoke referred to these patrons as "degenerates" and "yahoos." The only solution is to cease selling alcohol on the course. Since that isn't going to happen, with regret (because the bones of the courses are quite good), we shall have to look elsewhere for our golf experiences.

Firm greens and well kept fairways.

Greens were firm but still receptive. Always a nice lie in the fairways. Nice sand in greenside and fairway bunkers.

Good winter condition.

Course was very good for wintertime. Challenging but not overwhelming. Range has been permanently restricted with nets and no driver tees due to a large soccer camp which was constructed on the property. Hope mods are scheduled so a full warm up can be had.
