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.

Coming along

Some people have ripped this course on reviews not knowing the history of this course, the new management has brought this course back from the dead. Sure on the sides and surrounding areas, doesn't look like a golf course, but you shouldn't be in the crud with your shots anyways, This is a links style target golf course. It still has a ways to go but it's heading in the right direction. There are still come areas on the fairways that need work but it's a ton better that it was. To see fairway grass established on #10, 12 and 13 is nothing short of amazing. Spring punching and sanding this next week on the greens will help big time in the long run. Just one suggestion, since the carts do not have GPS like at the beginning showing the burms locations in the fairway and the score card maps of each hole really doesnt show where they are running across the fairways, maybe a simple print out with better mapping for the holes with burms will help. Maybe stick it in the plastic holder above the windshield instead of the reminder about no alcohol allowed on the course.

An honest review

This is the third time I’ve played here, though it’s been about two years since the last time. First I’ll tell you about the positives. Upon check in, right away the staff was very friendly and attentive. One thing I appreciated was that there was no enforcement of stupid mask wearing. No sign was posted and very few people were wearing them. I felt at ease right away. The facilities are modern and clean. The cart was clean and in good condition. I did notice that the GPS unit that was in the cart the last time I played was removed this time. No biggie since I have a Garmin on my wrist. The course is links style, thus very challenging. If you don’t hit the fairways you’re in trouble. I spent more time than I liked looking for balls. Now to the actual course. The fairways were playable but rough. The greens were in good condition, no bare spots, but a bit bumpy. Overall the course is worth playing if for nothing else the challenge of a links style course. Having a Hot Deal is a bonus.

Great Golf Course

Check in was easy and quick. Staff in pro shop was helpful and friendly. Cart were in good shape and clean. Tee time was on time. Pace was great, finished in about 3 1/2 hours. Weather was great and course was challenging. Green were all well kept. Some fairways had some bare spots but nothing terrible. Was a great day of golfing and the hot deal was great. Would definitely play here again.

Not Getting Better

Sorry to see that this course is getting worse. The fairways have always been an issue, but now the greens are not in good condition. Five hour and twenty minute round on a Sunday. Could be such a fun course.

Great potential, little value

The layout could turn this into a great golf course. However, it drastically needs water, and the ball runs forever. Unseen hazards are unfairly penal, and the wind made it nearly unplayable.

Nice course

Challenging course with tight fairways. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely play again. 4” from a hole in 1 on hole #3.
