THE PLAYBOOK · COEYSHOES
Getting started with Golf Solitaire
Take a moment with Golf Solitaire before moving to another game. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Seven columns of five, one stock pass. Free solo play, no wagering.
Give this approach a try
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Remove all 35 tableau cards. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap cards and piles. Wide tableaus scroll inside the game; use Undo, Hint and New deal where shown. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See how the rules apply
Waste queen accepts jack or king. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
Random deals are not guaranteed solvable. A hint is a legal move, not a winning strategy. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
