How to play Golf Solitaire
Bring your attention to one round of Golf Solitaire. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
Keep the aim in sight
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. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
