Getting started with Golf Solitaire

Read the aim of Golf Solitaire, then make your first move. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Give this approach a try

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.

The objective of a round

Remove all 35 tableau cards. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Using the playing area

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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
