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.

Under Improvement

Three holes were closed due to sodding in the fairways. This course used to be a dirtpile but they are finally getting they fairways worked on. Greens are generally good with a couple bare spots. Bunkers were good but had several small rocks and pebbles, not sure if this is common for links courses. Overall, if they get some good grass growing here, it could be a nice track.

Totally worth it!

This place is throwing everything they have to completely overhauling this course . Over the last half year I have seen drastic improvements to the fairways, bunkers, and greens.

I can’t find I better deal in the area.

It is a hidden gem that is getting better every day.

And its hard to play!

It’s worth trying out.

It has become my go-to golf spot

Good not great

Course is a ton of fun but the conditions of the fairways and greens were a little dry. The price of $50 per person was a bit high. For that price I expect a little better

This is my home course but haven’t played there lately cause it’s been in bad shape. Went today and saw they’ve improved a lot. Before it was mostly dirt and dead grass but today i saw a lot of green. I hope they keep improving cause i like this course.

Links style

There are some bare spots on the fairways like traditional links courses. GPS on the cart for $1.50 is worth having as it gives the distances to the burns.

Layout is interesting and sometimes challenging. Greens are fast and excellent. Considering that the course was constructed without enough sand in the soil to account for dissolved solids in the reclaimed water used for irrigation, it’s in admirable shape. Being a links course, bate spots are okay.

Restaurant and bar are very nice. Good food, happy hour 3-6 and free live music on Friday’s in the summer.

Great layout

Course is slowly getting better. Fairways greening up. They are sifting the traps. Good practice areas. Very friendly staff.

Worst Service ever

I play in a men's group that plays every other Sunday on this course. The course continues to get in worst shape then before, owners seem to think that fixing the parking lot and buying advertising flags to place all over the course is more important than improving the playing conditions. To top it off, after our round we meet in th restaurant, I was totally ignored by the wait staff, he walked by me and never asked if I wanted anything, I went to the bar to order a drink and some food. Again I was ignored for over 10 minutes, the bar tendeder help others that walked up to the bar after me. Maybe under staffed, but being a oerson that has played at this course since it opened I didn'r appreciated being totalu ignored. Went to the table with the rest of the group and he walked buy another 3-4 times without asking any of us if we wanted to order something. Worst service ever. Put a fork in me, if I wanted to be ignored I stay at home. Wish that I could put a 1% star for this business.
