Solitude Links Golf Course & Banquet Center
Rating Snapshot
About
Solitude Links Golf Course & Banquet Center in Kimball is one of southeastern Michigan’s premier courses. Golfers from the Detroit metropolitan area and Port Huron and even as far as London in Ontario, Canada flock to the golf course. The layout is spread across gently rolling terrain with both woodlands and wetlands, providing a diverse mix of holes. The greens are large and fast with some mild undulation, some are even ridged or double-tiered, but good shots will be rewarded with level putting surfaces. The tricky opening hole is unique in that there are two greens, which makes it so that it can be played as a par 4 or a more daunting par 5 that plays over water. The challenging island green makes Solitude Links' par-4 eighth another memorable hole. Though you may get a break from the water on the back nine, at least on four holes, sand then becomes a more prominent hazard.

Great course
Course was great and pace was good until I caught up with a league.
Really good course
I really loved this course. It has alot of bunkers and a good amount of water. It is very challenging although if you play from the white tees there are a few par 4s you can drive in 1, however they do have blue and black tees. There are several challenging par 3s at 190 yards each. My only complaint was the greens were very difficult for me. If you don't like water or bunkers don't play here though lol. I am about a 17 handicap I lost about 6 balls and still shot a 93.
early round
We had the first tee time so pace of play was great. Grounds keepers were doing their normal business but never interfered with our play. The greens and fairways are in great shape.
Great condition - slow round
Course as always was in great condition. Unfortunately got behind some very slow golfers - at one point played two holes behind a fivesome - but they eventually let us through. The 11th hole is a little silly but other than that I really enjoy playing here! Can't beat the deal we got either!
amazing course
I shot my best game here so far this year very well manicured and lots of challenges great course
Fore Lakes - Great Deal
Got a great hot deal ($10) to play a good course. Was able to soot around in just over 3 hours, not too many people out due to the threat of rain. Overall, good course for a great price.
Good until the league started
My son and I played the first 9 in just over 1 hour. Had we known a league was going to play the back nine we would have asked to play it first. Got caught in the rain the last 2 holes because the league players were not very good and crawled a a snails pace. Next time I ask is leagues are going to be playing or not.
Intimidating Beauty
Nothing gets you ready for 18 holes quite like the #1 tee box at Fore Lakes. Either you play the clubs in your bag or you play every ball in your bag.
Awesome
From the time we walked in the pro shop and were greated by Pierre to the starter on the 1st tee everyone who worked there was extremely friendly!!! The course was in very good shape! The course can be challenging but it also very fair. You are not penalized for good shots!! Will definitely play this course again!!!!
Fun fn fun
Enjoyable course but bring some extra balls, lots of water. Slow at the turn as groups fill up on some great hotdogs. Lots of variety in holes.
Fore Lakes
The locals call it Four Sleeves. The course is challenging and well maintained. I always have a nice time here. Weekend dinners are great!
Great place to play
Water everywhere makes for a challenging day, nice clubhouse, course in good shape besides a few greens littered with ball marks
beautiful!
the best in my area, it's tough, well taken care of. and a fun course.recommend this course highly.
Excellent veiw from every hole.
After you play here once, you'll be coming back time & time again
Great course and great value.
The course was very enjoyable and challenging and the staff was very friendly.
water,water everywhere!!!
My only negative comment about this course isthe inconsiderate golfers who neglect to repair their ball marks on the green!! Otherwise the course is in great shape.
challenging course, water makes degree of difficulty more exciting.
play was a little too slow, need to warn slow groups to speed it up..
nice shape- interesting layout
Course has interesting layout with lots of water but not too difficult. With new ownership, it is in better shape than the last couple of years. The bunkers and a few of the greens still need some more work but generally good - and the fairways are in very nice shape. Was the arguably the best course in St Clair county at one time and is starting to get back to that.
nice layout
it was the longest round that I have ever played at fore lakes which made it very difficult to get into a good tempo for playing.
