The Links at Summerly borders Lake Elsinore, southern California's largest natural lake. The Ortega Mountains and the Cleveland Natural Forest are also the golf course's neighbors. Although it feels nicely secluded, the Links are conveniently just minutes from Temecula. The design tumbles across a rolling terrain that is accented with 3 miles of Scottish-style burns. The natural mounding was deftly incorporated throughout the golf course. The rugged landscape, reminiscent of courses in the British Isles, gives it the look and feel of a traditional links layout. It is a formidable test that features heavily undulated fairways and an abundance of kidney-shaped bunkers. Although there are some tricky holes, each one was designed to offer several different playing strategies. Thought and imagination are required, but you will also have to use every club in your back to navigate the twists and turns of the Links at Summerly.

Fun layout, excellent value

I play here 1-2 times weekly. Course is looking better as of recent. The layout is unique and challenging. Gives you a true links experience. Greens roll true. Stopped at the clubhouse for a burger, fries, and beer at the turn. Food and service were both awesome. It was great to see they have a cart girl on the weekends now. Glad to see this place is getting better.

Dust bowl

Worst course condition I've ever played. The fairways were half dirt half weeds, the greens were bumpy, the tee boxes were uneven and overgrown with weeds.it was like playing on an old abandoned track. The clubhouse is kinda far from the actual course and there is nowhere to get a drink while playing, so bring your own I guess.

Affordable Course

Inexpensive course. Friendly staff. No food available during the week is the only downside.

Never Again

Figured I’d give this place a shot. Course is for sale, which might explain the extreme lack of course maintenance. Wouldn’t play here even it was for free. The course has sooo much potential but so sad to see it in the condition it’s in. Greens were the only part that had grass, fairways seemed like one big bunker. Really really hope this place changes ownership soon and they can bring it back to life!

Save your money

This place is an absolute dump. Calling it a dog track is an insult to dogs everywhere. Save your money, save your time, stay away. What a waste of what could be a fun challenging track if they showed that they cared about the money we spend. Bare fairways, nasty greens, 🤢

Course layout is good but maintenance is so bad. I understand the reason is recently heavy rains.
