Play Golf Solitaire with the rules at hand

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Use another round to revisit a decision.

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

Try a more deliberate round

Take a moment to read the table. Tap exposed cards that satisfy the removal rule shown above. Use another round to revisit a decision.

Your objective

One detail worth checking

Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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.
