Diseased greens

Overall the course itself is fine. The greens however were completely in disrepair, and large swatches on most greens was dirt and plugs of grass.
Approximately 40% of Questionable quality. I’m sure in about six months and the course will be fantastic.

Steal deal

Always a fun time here at Summerly. Absolutely love the unique links layout. As always, challenging conditions. This course ain't for the faint of heart. If you are a decent ball striker, and willing to face tough links conditions, I highly recommend this course.

I Love this Course...But They Have Let it Go!

This was once a favorite course of mine, it was challenging, and unique. However, during my last round, I was disappointed with the conditions of the course; fairways were dead, greens were not green and were mixed with mud and grass--leading to the ball bouncing on the greens. Staff noted that the back 9 was in bad condition, so we could play the front twice, but we opted to play it in anyway, and did not notice any difference in the conditions. While I enjoyed golfing the course...as it is golfing, I was extremely disappointed with the course conditions and hope they take the time to restore the course to the conditions that I remember.

Great bang for the buck

Fun links track in playable condition. Definitely the best deal around if you’re trying to play for under $50.

Horrible course ever

First time to play and will be the last.
Horrible condition either fairways or gteens.
I had to end up at 9th hole because it was just wasting time to continue.
It has a lot of potentials with interesting layouts but someone needs to invest to level up. They shouldn’t even charge with current conditions….
Unfortunate to waste a beautiful Sunday..

4X4 golf

Several greens not puttable due to dead cracked turf. Back 9 worse than the front. Fairways are acceptable for a links style course. Staff extremely friendly and professional. Pro shop needs to up their game for selection. No tees available for purchase. Driving range currently closed. It’s still 23 bucks for 18 holes and a cart. But you do need to manage your expectations on green conditions.

Nice layout

Awesome links style course, too bad it’s in such poor condition. Hardly any grass in the fairways even less on the greens. Lucky for me I only drove over an hour plus to get to the course. Time I’ll never get back. It’s a shame that nobody tells you that if you expect to hit off grass tee to green you need to choose a different golf course.

Getting better

Looks like things are finally improving. Still a ways to go but course is definitely looking and playing better. Most of the bunkers were playable today. New carts are much better. We stopped at the turn for the Philly cheesesteak and it was actually pretty good. Will be back later this week.

Lot of fun

I play here often for the fun, challenging layout. This links course is unlike any other course in southern California. Truly gives you a unique experience. Like all links courses, conditions vary. It's looking pretty good right now. A few of the fairways are a little rough. The new carts are very nice.

Conditions Improving

Course is looking better by the week! Back 9 greens need some help but still roll pretty true. New carts are very nice. Love the links layout.

Abandoned Dunes

I hadn’t played this course in 15 years. Came back to it today and I almost cried. Can’t believe I made an hour drive to see this. The course is basically abandoned. You’re hitting off gravel the entire day. I kept an optimistic outlook thinking it would get better but it got worse. Every green was patchy . I mean this in the most respectful way but please close this course until it can be made playable again.
