How to play Golf Solitaire

Use the rule sheet as a reference. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.

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

Watch out for this

Work at your own pace. 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.
