Understand the basics of Golf Solitaire

Use a short break to learn the rhythm 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.

Try a more deliberate round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Remove all 35 tableau cards. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The order of play

  1. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
  2. Click an exposed card or eligible pair to remove it.
  3. Draw when useful.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

How to interact with the game

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example to follow

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.

Keep this in mind

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
