Solitude Links Golf Course & Banquet Center

We make the 1 hr trip here from Canada at least twice/season & it's always worth it.

Every time I book Solitude, I think they will eventually get their act together. Apparently, not. Our foursome arrived 10 minutes early for our scheduled tee time, then as always, had to wait for (2) foursomes and a threesome, all sitting waiting at the first tee box.

I asked the starter why they always over book the place, and his response was "it's good money". My response was "if people constantly have to wait to start, they will stop coming". He then tried to blame GolfNow for the issue and I told him that the course is not obligated to deal with GolfNow, especially if they cannot stagger tee times efficiently.

Come to find out there were 3 tee times all scheduled for the exact same time. The starter said, this happens every day. I shook my head, and we finally started our round, 20 minutes late. 18 holes took 5 hours. We all shot pretty well, but we're held up the entire day. It felt like being in a golf outing with 8 people on a hole at a time. While the course was in good shape, it wasn't any better than a few others in the area. I probably won't return.

We made the mistake of booking on Sunday July 3 took us over 3 hrs to play nine!!!!! We did ask for a rain check for the second nine and they gave it to us.

We had an excellent experience at the course. Not horribly difficult but challenging.

Would play again.

Scheduled tee off time from golf now was 9:07. We got to the course and was told it was changed to 9:18. There was a tourny of 42 golfers ahead of us. Actual tee off time was closer to 10:00. Front 9 played in 3 hours. we waited and waited and waited on every hole. After 9 holes we wanted to grab a bite to eat. First of all, there were no burgers or dogs ready at the half way, then, the wait staff on the inside was very rude and we waited and waited and waited. Praise God for the weather and my company (father and 2 uncles). A great day to test patience and try and share some laughs with family. Call ahead to make sure you are not behind a tourny. The course needs to plan much much better.

Has a bite of a challenge on some of the holes but very enjoyable thank you Love the little 10th hole challenge also

Course layout is awesome! Everything is up to date, would help to have gps app on your phone to range some shorter holes though. And besides the hard bunkers everything is in great condition!

Lots of water and ver challenging. The only downside is the hour drive.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Starter was well informed. His advice for playing holes #1 and #10 was very helpful. A lot of water. Be brave and fly those massive ponds! Some of the finest greens I have played on. Ran true and consistent. Couldn't ask for a better afternoon. Beautiful course, well-maintained. Played for only 18 bucks! thanks to Golf Now. It's a really long drive for me, but it was totally worth it. This is not a course for beginners. I recommend it for all semi-competent and semi-confident golfers. It will humble you, but it is a great place to play.

Course was in pretty good shape for early spring golf, kitchen was not open yet, so somewhat disappointed we couldn't get a snack (other than a hot dog) after golf. Good selection of beer on tap

course had plenty of water but not that hard to stay away from. greens in very good shape. carts have range finders for yardage. very good experience.

Good overall, greens and fairways very good condition, very challenging over the water.

A beautiful course for the average golfer. Not too many long holes, but still challenging with all the water and tight holes. I look forward to coming back and playing it again

We enjoyed the course, very interesting holes. Fairways and greens in great shape. Will be going back to play it again.

Course was in fantastic shape, weather was stinkin hot! Pace of play was very slow, seemed to have too many groups trying to tee off at the same time. But after a few holes it seemed to spread out ok. I would definitely play here again, love this course! Thanks.

Great value for the course. Great course to score well.

Got a great deal on GN for $22.50 each for a foursome. Course was kept up very well and will go back to play again. My only complaint was that they put some groups off on the back nine which really slowed play once we made the turn. We were the second group out and once we made the turn, there were two groups in front of us but behind the first group.

First time playing since name/owner change. Heather was nice addition didn't come in play much but added to look of course. greens very nice to putt. great time

Staff was friendly and courteous. Course was in amazing shape. Bunkers could use some work. Overall very satisfied

The course is basically the same with a few upgrades. The biggest change is letting the heather grow in the common areas for more of a links feel, seemed fine. The greens were in good shape with reasonable speed. The carts came with a free bottle of water which seemed like a nice touch. The staff was generally friendly and helpful. The pace was a bit slow but the do allow more time between groups than Fore Lakes did. Overall I would say the course has improved as a result of the new ownership.
