How to play Golf Solitaire
Bring your attention to one round of Golf Solitaire. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Remove all 35 tableau cards. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
- Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
- Draw when useful.
- Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.
Controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
