Solitude Links Golf Course & Banquet Center

Thus course send out to many groups right on top each other. They should wait till the group is on the green before letting the next group tee off. Had 3 foursomes on every hole so you are sitting more then you are playing. Happens every time I'm here

It's really sad when they are pushing groups off the first right on top of each other. Starter should wait till the group is on the first green, before sending the next group. Played with at least 3 group on every hole. Greens were in very bad shape and so were the bunkers, not even raked. There were no rakes on the course for any traps. Sad when they just want to make money and not letting the golfers enjoy their round. Will never come back.

When we arrived for our 10:54 tee off we were told to see the starter regarding giving way to groups coming off the 18th hole from an ongoing high school tournament. There were 2 high school groupings that played through the 1st hole while we waited past our scheduled tee off. We finally got the nod to start 50 minutes past our sceduled tee time. When we got out on the course it was dead slow. We were 3 hrs getting through the 1st 9 holes and then 2.5 hrs on the 2nd 9 holes. Most of the time i book through Golf Now they are on time. This round was unexeptable and not up to the GN standards. Compensation would be appreciated. Thankyou.

The attendant was NASTY!! Let me begin by stating that I have a 4.1 handicap index and I’ve played 218 courses across the USA so I’m not just your average weekend hack. Our tee was at 12:24 p.m. , so we go into the pro shop around 11:55 a.m. or so and notice that there wasn’t anyone in there, just a loud computer playing the Michigan/Ohio State game. So we wait for about 3-4 minutes until we left and went to the first tee because we paid online. So the attendant walks by me and says, oh I see we’re gonna have this out here today! At first I didn’t realize he was talking about us but when he walk back by he says abruptly, did you go inside? We both say yes we did but there wasn’t anyone in there, so he says even nastier, we’ll you should’ve waited and without allowing us to answer says , so you weren’t gonna pay?And we said that we paid online. Then he says why are you on the tee 20 minutes before your tee time, I say I’m sorry but would you rather we be late! As we’re following him inside he continues to be RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL and then ask what our tee time was ( if we paid online that was clue number one that we already had a tee time) and we both stated 12:24 p.m. . Once we’re inside he then ask if we’re Harris and Jackson and we both said yes, he says we’ll you’re going to play with two other guys and walks out the door to go and get them, comes back inside as we’re waiting there and says that’s them out on the putting green. So we exit the pro shop and try and gather ourselves before we introduce ourselves to our pairing mates. We’ve played at Solitude since the days that it was called Four Lakes but this guys attitude was the most DEPLORABLE that I’ve EVER witnessed on a golf course! The DISRESPECT was so bad that we vowed to NEVER ever play this course again and we will let our playing partners know the horrible service that we received and have them spread the word about the course as well.

You must be accurate off the tee to hit the narrow fairways. If you miss any fairway then you will likely find heather or dunk it in a water hazard. Also, 3 of the 4 par threes are around 200 yards or more. It's a challenging course and I was digging in the bag more than a few times for balls.
This is a nice course and in great shape but because of the super tight conditions I'll have to improve my game before attempting another round here.
