Wow... I paid a GolfNow hot deal $25, included a cart. This is a gem, it’s in phenomenal shape, if it weren’t for the location this course would cost $75-$100 easy. Cary Bickler has done it again, along with Encinitas Ranch, his designs are playable and fair, but with enough challenges to keep it interesting. Do me a favor, don’t play here, I really enjoyed my $25 round in under 3 hours.

Nestled in the foothills, this piece of property where The Links at Summerly reside, appears underground, as the whole course sits at eye level making it difficult to see landing spots on the rolling fairways, a charming links characteristic. I felt as though I was playing Carnoustie, it was very uniquely European.

I really enjoyed the type of golf that I got to play. It’s different than any other course I’ve played in the area, a fun challenge. The course layout is great, the conditions will only improve, it’s January after all, the grass is Bermuda, which is dormant this time of year. As the year progresses, and the conditions improve, this is going to be a gem, highly recommended, and very easy to get to from San Diego or Los Angeles:

Completed a round in under 3.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon, which is crazy. It was cloudy, but no rain, a little wind, but conditions were good. The course was a great value, greens were pretty good, some challenging holes, cart attendant serving drinks available if desired. They also have a great bar for a little 19th hole action. I enjoyed the round, thank you!
