Some nice elevated tees (fourth and 15th holes) and a signature par 3 at the 12th, featuring a pond and waterfall, make the 6,651-yard Willow Glen the most popular choice. in the 1980s when they were called the Singing Hills Country Club. All three were redesigned by Ted Robinson Sr. None of them are championship-caliber in length, but for most of us, they're plenty good enough. All three courses - Willow Glen, Oak Glen and the executive Pine Glen - operate out of one well-stocked pro shop. Sycuan's strengths are its convenience and value. There are also so many strong courses in San Diego County alone that it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
More luxurious resorts on the coast get more publicity. With 54 holes, Sycuan (pronounced 'se quan') is California's third-largest golf resort (behind only Pebble Beach Resorts and La Quinta Resort & Club/PGA West), so why is it not more well known?
