How to play Golf Solitaire
Golf Solitaire gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. 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 the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
