Your guide to Golf Solitaire

Keep the active rule in mind. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Work at your own pace. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Check the relevant controls before continuing.

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