How to play Golf Solitaire
Thirty-five cards are dealt face-up into seven columns of five. The remaining seventeen cards form the stock, and you turn them one at a time to a single waste pile that acts as your foundation.
- Only the bottom (exposed) card of each column is in play. Move it to the waste when its rank is exactly one higher or one lower than the card on top of the waste.
- Suits and colors do not matter — only the rank. A 7 plays on a 6 or an 8; a 6 plays on a 5 or a 7.
- There is no wrap-around. Ace is low and King is high, so nothing plays on a King except a Queen, and nothing plays on an Ace except a 2.
- When you are stuck, tap the stock to flip a new card to the waste and open fresh possibilities.
- Win by clearing every card from the seven columns. You lose when the stock is empty and no legal move remains.
Tap to play
Tap the bottom card of any column — or anywhere in that column — and it moves to the waste if the play is legal, with a gentle nudge if it is not. Tap the stock to deal. The same taps work with a mouse or a finger, so play whichever way feels natural. Long runs up and down the ranks earn a streak bonus, so chain moves before you draw.
Tips to clear more columns
- Plan a run before you commit — a single card can open a chain of five or six plays in a row.
- Keep both directions in mind; the waste can climb and fall, so a stuck card may free up after one more play.
- Save your draws. Every card you clear from the tableau before flipping the stock stretches your options later.
- Use Undo freely to explore, Hint when you are truly stuck, and try the Daily deal for a shared challenge.
