What Guests Said About El Cajon:

The staff were all very friendly and courteous.

The staff were all very friendly and courteous. The two main golf courses were open and great to play, but I was lucky as the Willow Glen course is still undergoing renovations. When those are completed it will be even more impressive. The greens played fast and true and were generally in great condition. The Oak Glen course is flatter and in excellent condition though also has some ongoing improvements happening. The Restaurant and Bar Staff were friendly and engaging, the Pro Golf Shop staff equally so. The food was very good with a variety of choice. In all it was a great experience to play golf there and soak up the ambience while taking in the history of the indigenous people in the area. I thoroughly recommend Singing Hill Golf Resort.

Be careful when renting a room here.

Be careful when renting a room here. Pictures are completely deceiving and not what they appear. I booked two queen beds and got two fulls. Sketchy area. It seems that they have people living in the hotel so it has a weird vibe. They have 24hr “security” but they only stay in the entrance of the place and seem to let anyone in. I guess you get what you pay for but never again!

If you like to play golf close to where you are staying for more than reasonable prices that this is a fantastic resort to stay. Hospitality of the staff really high standard. Information can be better special when there is a BIG Event which has impact on the whole resort (Golfing/Parking/Noise)

The buildings exterior need a refresh paint or redecoration. Interior the room is excellent. Ample and comfortable. Missing the lack of microwave. The Red Tail restaurant was very good. The proximity and free shuttle to the Sycuan Casino made it a great perk.

I currently live in El Cajon and we are moving out of state because of California's political insanity. We stayed in this hotel only while our house was tented for termites prior to sale and only in THIS hotel because they allowed our two small dogs. Not fair to El Cajon to ask me to review the city.
