Detailed description of Solitude Links Golf Course
Solitude Links Golf Course, previously named Fore Lakes Golf Club, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Kimball , Michigan.
The course first opened for play in 2000. The course was designed by the owner, Angelo Torello.
The "four lakes" come into play on 12 of the 18 holes, creating a very distinctive and challenging golf course.
Fore Lakes is an incredible golf experience, with marshlands and intimidating water hazards defining the layout. The distance from the mid tees (tan) is quite short (5,600 yards), but don't let your ego get in the way. The par threes are quite long from the blacks (6,560 yards) and blues (6,120). It might be wise to play one tee box shorter than normal for your first round, until you develop the accurate feel for lay-ups that is required. And you will want to come back!

Looks great from the road. However, the course was not in as good shape as it appeared. We waited on every tee starting at number two. On 6 there was a 3 group backup. Not sure why. They need rangers.

This was the 2nd half of our "Offsite Meeting" today and brought back memories of playing here in 2000 for $30. Conditions were what I remember them as its now called "Solitude Links Golf Course" and under new mgt since about 2013. Lots of visual water that comes into play on 11 holes if you stray as I found five (5) times. Tee to green (good size) the conditions were very good and being taken care of by the staff or players. Shot 46/40 w/34putts playing from the Blacks at 6,711 yds / 71.1 / 127 as the trouble comes from left/right fairway misses as the fairways are raised from the rough around the water. Weekend rates at $45 might be a little steep for this track on a regular basis, but worth the stop.
