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.

The money is too wasteful.

I paid $57 to play golf on the bare ground where I can't find grass.

The green was like moss on the uneven ground, and the fairway was dry or without grass, so the ball didn't stop and just rolled around.

In almost every hole you'll encounter a creek across the fairway, and your randomly rolling ball will flow into it.

I hope you never go there.

Staff should be embarrassed

Absolutely the worst course I’ve ever played. They aren’t even trying to pretend they care. Avoid at all costs.

Nice course

Challenging course, my first time playing a links course, makes you think more about your game than just hitting it and trying to make the green. You can get into trouble trying to bomb it.

Terrible conditions

I have played this course before and will not play it again. Huge waste of money. Course is in horrible shape. It’s like they do not water it say all. Every lye in the fairway was nothing more than hard pan. The greens were so chewed up they were in puttable. There was a sixsome in front of us who were acting like a bunch of 4 year olds for the entire round. Uggghhhh! Golf should be that painful

Fun course

Fun course. Links style. Fairways are a bit sparse, greens were lightning, but you can tell they are working on both. Love the layout of the course. Worth the hour drive for me.

Links style course for a discount

Had a great day of golf, due to the price I wasn't upset with the condition of the course. Greens are fast, fairways are a bit dry but we played just after the rain so most of the burns had water which also added to the challenge. I will play again here soon!

Links Course

Course layout was OK - cart didn’t have monitors & they should have provided a course layout book since you couldn’t tell where the lateral hazards distances nor could you tell the fairways from the surrounding desert landscape

Great course.

Alright I’m a little biased because this was my high school home course and it’s a little out of shape, but it’s such a fun and challenging course. Great to just get out there and get back into the swing of things. Perfect for the price.

The worst golf conditions ever!!

The starter in the pro shop was very nice but everything went downhill from there. Fairways had little to zero grass on them and the greens were terrible. If a zero star was an option to rate this course and it’s condition, that’s what I would give. 5.5 hr round also, which always sucks. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!
