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.

Always a challenge

This course is always a challenge. I play here a lot and constantly have fun, difficult shots. Tough pin placements today. Very enjoyable for players at any level trying to improve.

Disappointed

The golf course is in terrible shape. I would not suggest playing this course - driving range, fairways, greens - awful. Until the management of this course disclose that they are revamping and providing proper course maintenance, the general public are wasting good money on the experience. double thumbs down.

Favorite course

Play here all the time. Course is coming along nicely, loving the improvements. Always have a fun round here. Course layout presents many challenging shots. Lucky to have this course close to home. Clubhouse has really good food and excellent service. Pro shop staff is always welcoming.

Dead course

Everything was dead except the greens and some of the greens were starting to die also. I've played here before and the fairways were starting to brown in some spots but was still playable. Now they are super dead and in some spots just dirt making it really hard to play.

Very “links” style

The season (summer) dictated the course conditions

I believe the grounds staff do their very best to provide their patrons with a great experience, the greens were in awesome shape… fairways were a bit dry in some spots, I found to allow me more distance due to the firmness.. A very decent value

Great Golf Course

This Golf Course is more my speed...not too fast, and not too slow. Basically, we live in a Desert out in this area, and this course incorporates the Desert into the course quite well. I don't like courses that try to just Grass over EVERYTHING, and then waste millions of gallons of water to try to keep up the appearance of a Golf course that would be somewhere in the Midwest, or upper East Coast. This is a Desert, and this is Course is what I believe it should be.

Sand traps and fairways

If your not going to add sand then at least grate them and loosen them up. Seed the bald spots in the fairways

Always a good time

Had fun today. Course is looking better each week. Lunch after round was tasty. The restaurant at the clubhouse has really good food and the waitresses are all very attentive. Going to book an earlier tee time on the next one as it was over a hundred today when we finished our round.

Nice layout. Lots of potential but......

It was nothing but dirt on fairways. The greens were decent. It is almost as if they only have so much water to use and chose only water greens and area around it. Lots of pebbles in waste bunkers. Club damage is a possibility.

Challenging and Enjoyable

We got out early today to beat the heat. I shot a 92 and my son shot a 76. We both enjoy this course for the truly special and challenging layout. Greens are rolling pretty fast. Stopped for lunch at the turn. First time trying the burger and it was excellent and very thick patty. Couldn't even finish it! Playing here again later this week as its a ton of fun and affordable as well:)

Bad. All bad.

I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to course conditions.. I don’t expect much but my god this place was atrocious. Fairways were mostly dirt or dead grass. Basically non existent. No scenery at all. Greens were actually decent so I’m not sure how the fairways became so terrible. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend this place & certainly wouldn’t ever pay $57 for a round here again. Not even worth $15 in my opinion.

Best Value

Another fun day here. Weather was a bit hot and greens were fast! Fairways need a little work but this is still my favorite track around. Great staff, awesome food, fun course. Will be back later this week.
