Play Golf Solitaire with the rules at hand

Open Golf Solitaire, check the instructions and begin a round. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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. Make the next step deliberately.

What you are aiming for

Remove all 35 tableau cards. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

Controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Put the rules into context

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

A mistake to avoid

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
