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.

Bad shape

The greens are in fair condition but that’s the only part of the course that is there are many hardpan bare spots in the Fairways and the bunkers are terrible.

Try again in 2 years-maybe

The last time I played this course was 2 years ago. They were working on improvements- still haven't got there. The greens and tee boxes were in good shape, the rest of the course was awful. We had to make a "move your ball to grass rule" which at times mean't going back 30 or 40 yards. They need to close the course again and start over.Pace of play was excellent- counted 6 other golfers on the course.

Enjoyable

Greens, tees were great. Fairways got a lot of bare spots but for a links style course no big deal as ball rolls and rolls. 1st time there so lots of guessing on some holes but 2nd time around should make it that much better. FIGHT ON!!!

Great layout and quality of greens

We were pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. We stopped playing there a few years ago because it was run down. The tee boxes and greens are in great condition. It’s a challenging links style layout.

Pristine condition

The pristine environment of this course may attract certain golf players. Nearby you can watch people parachute from the plane. It's a tough course with many ditches around the greens that are waiting for your ball, unless you play this course before you don't know it's existence.

Course is in good shape after rain

Some muddy area still but very good overall.

Last rain for a couple of days did really good to the course and helped hard working crews a lot.

Thanks for the good job Summerly, expecting you in much much better shape soon,

NO Rain Checks

Pouring rain this morning, made it through a few holes. Came back to club house and club pro wouldn’t give us a rain check for another day. Terrible customer service and a great way to never get a group of avid golfers back to play the course. Very unhappy.
