Play Golf Solitaire with the rules at hand

A clear plan starts with the current position. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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

Practice with a purpose

A clear plan starts with the current position. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

The goal to keep in mind

Remove all 35 tableau cards. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Work at your own pace.

From the start of a round

  1. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping.
  2. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above.
  3. Draw when useful.
  4. Undo reverses a choice. New deal shuffles again.

The controls to know

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Before making a move, check the cards in view.

Put the rules into context

Waste queen accepts jack or king. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

Watch out for this

Before making a move, check the cards in view. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
