Singing Hills is one of my favorite places to play golf in San Diego. I usually stick to the par 3 course, and it never disappoints. The greens are in great shape, the whole course is super well-maintained, and the views of the surrounding hills are beautiful—especially during golden hour. The staff here is top-notch—friendly, professional, and always helpful. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced golfer, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a clean, scenic, and laid-back golf experience. Great vibes every time.

Played the WILLOW GLEN course on 31 December 2024. There is a lot to choose from on this course. Multiple practice greens, full size range (turf matts), a restaurant, and a nice size pro shop with a lot of goodies. As for the course it is in great conditions. Tee boxes cut nice and level, fairways in good shape, bunkers well maintained, and green are in immaculate condition that roll very nice and consistent. Course layout is challenging with multiple dog legs and elevation challenges. They even have really nice golf carts with premiere seats. Cart girl is constantly riding around and they have a snack shop on the course!! Recommend this course to everyone.

The golf course greens were very green and well manicured. The staff was very friendly and golf shop was well stocked. The food at the restaurant was dang good. The main "problem" was all the construction. The golf cart paths were not clearly marked, some were dirt roads and some were NOT carts paths at all. The reason this matters is because the carts would turn off if you went into "restricted" areas. You were struck unless you reversed but with nothing clearly marked you were destined to repeat this again and again and again. Overall this problem will eventually disappear. I'll be back.

The resort has two pools, two jacuzzis, (closed at ten) and mid century modern decor in the rooms. The beautiful golf course and grounds have orange trees that are heavy with fruit. The bar and restaurant are only open from 5-8 weeknights. Looks like an excellent venue to get married at!

I was hoping for a nice hilly course but it didn't materialize. Oak Glen is squeezed in among surrounding hills but it is a flat course with little challenge. It is good for short game practice but not for a challenging game. There are only 2 Par 5 holes, majority are Par 4. The price of play is in line with resort pricing. Even though there are a number of holes under repair the price of play was $75 as a walk-on. Sadly, no one was enforcing pace of play and we ended up finishing after sunset with a 12:06PM tee-off time. The course could do with maintenence. Some greens were rough, and some fairways were in need of grass cutting. There were dead fish in one of the ponds under repair (maintenance) and the stench was a bit offputting. The views are great, the layout is good but it really depends on expectation. Staff members were helpful and accommodating but didn't allow for any discount. There are discounted membership rates if taken out between Jan-Mar.

I had a disappointing experience at this golf course. The staff at check-in were unfriendly, and part of the course was under construction, which caused a lot of noise and dust. The pace of play was frustrating—the group ahead was slow, while the group behind was constantly pushing us, making it hard to focus. Overall, this was the worst golf course experience during my trip to San Diego.
