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.

This course was awful

The course hasn’t been maintained once in 2 years, dirt patches on the greens, the fairways are non existent and we’re half dirt. The owners are putting zero dollars into this facility if you could even call it that. The only food they had to serve in the clubhouse bar were cheap hot dogs with only ketchup as the topping. I don’t blame the staff who were nice but I wouldn’t play this course if I were you, unless they start paying people to play here, maybe then it would be a little worth it.

Go somewhere else

I wouldn’t pay more than $30 to play this place again. Range was a joke, bar and food was a joke. No cart person.

Great potential

This place has great potential. Unfortunately the lack of maintenance has this course screaming for help. Last time we played, the course was starting to look good. The greens were good and they were putting sod in some of the fairways. It looks like they stopped caring.

Played it last summer. Not much difference today even with all the rain. Course needs repair or people will stop coming.

Great place to practice

I play here 1-2 times weekly for the excellent layout and the challenging play. Today I shot a 76, a couple strokes over my handicap. This is a links course, very unique with links conditions. You must play smart or it will cost you. Greens are rolling fast and true. Fairways have a lot of bare/dirt spots so they play fast and give you tight, difficult lies. Green surrounds and tee boxes are nice, grass is dormant. Overall very enjoyable at an unbeatable value.

Horrific conditions

This golf course is in terrible condition. You can hit a drive 250 yards down the middle and be in pure dirt.. there is no grass on this course, and it was not enjoyable. We quit after nine holes. It was an awful experience . Please refund us…

Thank you

Fast Greens

Greens were rolling fast today. Pace of play was pretty good. Bunkers are looking better. Fairways need seed. Challenging play, excellent course to work on your game.

Dirt

The fairways had little to no grass, which is damaging to clubs. The greens were ok.

Brown

The hills and scenery was all green. And the course was 90% dirt. With all the rain it seemed odd.

Great Track

The layout here is very unique. Definitely gives you a true links experience. Like any links course, conditions are tough. Many bare spots in the fairways, giving you a lot of roll and tight lies. Very fun and challenging. The greens are in good shape rolling fast and true. Going to start playing here regularly for the challenges this course presents.

It’s a cow pasture

I understand that grass is seasonal and can go dormant during the winter, however, it was apparent this course wasn’t cared for at all.

Starting in the range, I had to hit off weeds or sand. There was absolutely no grass to warm up on.

The putting green was so diseased there was no way to practice. However, the greens on the course reflected this.

The fairways were completely dried out and I constantly had to move my ball to ensure my lie would not damage my clubs.

This was literally the worst course I’ve ever played. It is a shame because I can tell at one time this course was a gem. I hope the owners invest in it because it has so much potential.
