How to play Golf Solitaire
Start Golf Solitaire by looking at the playing area and its controls. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
Make the controls familiar
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Remove all 35 tableau cards. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
