Play Golf Solitaire with the rules at hand

Bring this focus to a round

Look at the complete hand before deciding. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

Your objective

Remove all 35 tableau cards. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. For a calm first round, focus on one decision.

Work through the instructions

  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.

How to use the controls

Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule.

A useful example

Waste queen accepts jack or king. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Where a round can go wrong

Keep the active rule in mind. Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
