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.

Condition questions

Very strategic course; not a driver on every hole. Needs water desperately Diseased greens in spots too. Maybe recent rains will pep things up S gem for the IE

Excellent layout

The course seemed to be in a state of transition like most courses that I have played this last year but was still very playable. If I was in a situation where I felt was too rough for the fairway, I just lift and placed on better grass or a more playable lie. Great layout especially for my friend that I played with who hits a lot of left or right shots but still managed to stay in the fairway for the most part. Most of the greens were good and quick, but some had "po" and some were a little rough but still playable. We had a good day and will definitely be back. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. . .another plus!!!

Fun but course is getting worse

Start by saying I Love this track. Just seems like it's going backwards. I know we are in a drought, so it's hard to fault them. Just be ready to hit out of dirt. Greens were ok. Few tee boxes had issues. Pretty empty though for a Sunday. Hope to see it get better soon.

Tough course, good time

Played here again yesterday. It was a little breezy. Going to start playing here regularly. Fairways do have some dead spots but still a very fun course and super affordable. The restaurant food and service are wonderful.

Not Getting Better

The tee boxes were great, the rest not so good. We come back about every 6 months hoping for improvement but so far it's only gotten worse. The one bright spot was happy hour in the bar, would come back for that- maybe in 6 months. It was a very nice course when it first opened, just hope it doesn't turn into Castle Creek.

Good fun

Played today with my husband and son. We all three walked. This is a fun course to walk since its pretty flat.. We all had a good time. We always eat at the clubhouse after our round. Service and food are both really good.

First Time Playing

Not great

I canceled a reservation at another course because the reviews were pretty good on this one. The greens were pretty bad with bare spots all over them. The tee box’s were way better than the greens. The course overall could be fun but it’s in pretty rough shape. The clubhouse didn’t have much to choose from for balls and whatnot either. Food and service was ok. No ice chests on the carts either.

Course looks abandoned .

This course is a complete rip off. I don’t know when those photos were taken, but the course is in complete shambles. The greens have bare and burnt patches. The fairways are either dead, overgrown with weeds, or dirt. If this course was half the price I would understand the condition. I would recommend any other course in the manifee/Temecula area.

save your money folks.

this course is not even worth the $40 we spent to play. I know this is a desert course, but there were no fairways! I don't understand how courses can take your money and offer a crap condition course. Stay away.
