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.

Excellent course condition

Fairways were great. Pace was too slow for my liking - 5 hours.

Great course for easygoing golfers

My boyfriend and I are new to golf and are learning the proper etiquette and rules of the game, etc. My uncle golfs with us most of the time and he has been an avid golfer for years. We have visited this course twice now and we had a great time both times. The course is challenging for both new and experienced players and there are plenty of beautiful views along the way.

Don't look at the Pictures..

Last minute invite to substitute for someone, Had played this course about 6 years ago with plans to never come back....Yes it could be a very neat course but no one is going to put up the money to fix it...Covid must have saved this track for awhile...new players and returning players need somewhere to play. I would say if you live fairly close then you could consider this course but if your driving a ways to play you would be better off spending a little more.....another course close by was a special for two at $99 and it was in bad shape also.....everything points to if rounds go back to where they were before Covid your going to be seeing some courses closing I bet.

Poop on the greens

Hello. I was expecting a better maintained course, since this course is not that old. Most of the water hazards were drained, there is way too many Burms everywhere dirt everywhere, and the worst part about it, the greens were covered in I want to say rabbit poop little Pebbles everywhere it was so bad we couldn't even putt . Please use a leaf blower and blow all the poop off in the morning. The staff was friendly.

Enjoyable day

The course played pretty fast. The greens are getting better and staff is working to improve fairway conditions. Played as a single and finished in less than 3 hours. The bar/restaurant is fully stocked and has a nice atmosphere. Will play here again.

great value and fun challenging course

1st Time playing and I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the staff and the Bar/ restaurant. My only complaint is No Cart girl on the course and the sand traps are in need of some TLC, other than that, it played quickly on a sunday morning and early afternoon and was challenging and fun. I'll be back.

Inland Links?

This is not really a links course imho but it does offer a similar feel. As a first time player here it was sometimes difficult to follow the layout. The hole by hole book was helpful and I think this course will be more fun the 2nd time. The deal was good and the pace was under 4 hours. Overall pretty good.

First time windy round

The course front 9 was being punched so only play was 2 rounds on the back 9. A very difficult course for a 1st time player and I lucky to play with a regular on the course. The course was fairways were in rough shape with lots of bare areas. The greens were OK and the sand traps in fair condition. I might try it again when the greens recover.
