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, unique layout

I play all the local courses but come here the most. I always have fun here due to the unique layout. Course is easy to walk since its mostly flat. Greens are in good shape and rolling fast. Fairway grasses are dormant. The par 4's and 5's have some dirt patches. Most bunkers need more sand. Still very playable and a lot of fun at an unbeatable value.

Bad shape

Nothing like the pictures, the only green spots on the course were the greens and they were in terrible condition, the fairways were awful! I know it’s winter time but there wasn’t a green spot on any fairways. It’s obvious they do not but any effort into maintaining the course, dought if I’ll be back!

Great place for practice

So I read lots of mixed reviews so didn't have high expectations going in but it was a lot nicer than the negative reviews have it credit for. The pro shop was ok it has the essentials. I went on a Friday and the bar was open. Clean clubhouse, so the course was definitely beat the fairways we're garbage in most places but the greens were nice and played true. The bunkers forget it no sand anywhere near this place lol. I played here ten years ago and it was a jewel but the value for a full size practice course is well worth it.

Fairway , creeks, lakes all dried.

Perhaps due to the city conserve regulations, fairway is dead dry and poor condition.

Excellent links experience

Wonderful. Pace of play was good and usually is. Turf is dormant and plays firm and fast, greens included. Some of the fairways have some dirt patches. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Course has a phenomenal layout that is both fun and challenging. The restaurant/bar that’s open on the weekends is Lake Elsinore’s best kept secret! This place is a bargain and always a good time.

Stay away

Way better courses in the area for the same or less money. No snack are, grill, or drinks. Pro shop is empty. Greens are a disaster. Definitely would never come again. Might as well sell and make it more homes

Rough

Interesting course, the links layout is definitely different, it was hard finding any grass on the course other then the greens and the greens definitely need some care given to them. It’s pretty obvious that there is not much care or upkeep given to the overall course at all, might be awhile before I return!

Greens in poor condition, fairways are worse. Tee boxes okay. Fairways are dormant and some have no grass just dirt, Not worth 50 dollars.

Lightning fast greens

My husband and I walked the course today. We play here 1-2 times weekly. The greens are green and are rolling much faster than a month ago. Had a few 3 putts today. We enjoy playing here for the unique links layout. The summer grasses have gone dormant and has given the course a very cool look. We are enjoying the change of seasons and change in the way the course is playing.

Take this course off your site

I’ve played this course 3 times .. probably over a years time since I’ve golfed this course … the previous time was probably 5 out of 10 but playable .. 2 weeks ago played it and there was no grass in their fairway ! Literally embarrassing as I took my father in law .. I was embarrassed !!! The site does not post conditions of course , neither did your site either ! They should not be in your site at all ! Again very dissatisfied with this course ! A waste of money and time !

Pretty bad

The course was fun. There is more dirt than grass. Tee boxes are and so are the greens. But the fairways 20% grass 80% dirt. Oh and make sure to bring a lunch, because there is no food on the course whatsoever. I can see the course closing by next summer if the rains don’t come. Probably wont play again.
