Load test the battery and clean all of the connections.

Where did you buy the solenoid ? amazon or ebay maybe ?

The OEM starter is $307.00 but they just don't tear up much. Don't spend money on the aftermarket because they are junk. At least the ones I have seen are.
Don't remove that starter just yet. Do what cart around said first.

No got robbed at local cart sales/repair place buggies unlimited wanted $19 for solenoid but would have to wait for delivery another local place wanted $78 and another wanted $40 so I went with $40 b/c grand kid were coming had to get it running but in the end it still don’t run so I hope battery test fails 2maro that would be an easy fix

Sounds like the brushes were stuck or worn. Pull one of the caps and inspect..
