Golf Solitaire: how a round works

Take a moment with Golf Solitaire before moving to another game. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Use the example below to understand a decision. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

One thing to notice as you play

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Remove all 35 tableau cards. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

The playing sequence

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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. Check any mode label before starting.

See how the rules apply

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.

Where a round can go wrong

Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
