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.

Course condition Improving

Course conditions are improving compared to 9 months ago. You have to know were the burns come into play at numerous holes or you will drop a few shots. No trees and greens now are really fast . If you like link style courses its a great find.

Good greens. Long day.

This course is a good spot to get some work in. Nothing special but not the worst ever. I’m glad the greens were in good shape because fairways were dry. Id probably explore elsewhere for the same price.

Grass is non existant

I like this course in the summer. At this time of year the grass is dormant and a awful lot of it is missing from the fairways. You play on a fair amount of dirt. The greens are really patchy, although fairly quick. Most of the water features are dry, taking away some of the beauty of the course.

I'll try it again when the season changes and the grass, hopefully, comes back.

Great value and worth the drive.

I loved the course! I’m a huge fan of links style layouts and this was not a disappointment! Challenges for every level and amazing scenery as a backdrop. 10/10 would definitely go back. Only downside was it was a little slow on the back nine.

Sadly, we won’t be back

We played here in May and they’d just invested in a lot of new sod so I was shocked that it seemed they’d lost it all. The course was wet with a lot of mud and the greens were in very rough shape. It’s sad because the staff here is friendly and they go out of their way to welcome you.

Course was in terrible shape. Layout was terrible and so much rabbit poop on the course and green you couldn’t even putt. We will never play there again. Payed full price for cart path only, fairway was terrible and greens were worse. .

The carts need windshields. We drove through a few swarming bugs and it would’ve been nice to have a bit of a barrier. Bring your GPS the markings are few and knowing distance is critical here. This is a tough track on your first time with the berms swallowing balls hit in the center of the fairways. Good luck!!

Links at summerly

I brought 3 new golfers to the course and they really enjoyed it. The tee boxes were good most of the fairways were also good a few wet spots and under construction but they were marked. Greens were decent. The main issue with greens is the golfers don’t fix there ball marks soca lot of marked up greens. The staff was great and very friendly. We got a deal on Moose golf and it was well worth the deal.
