Golf Solitaire

Golf Solitaire is a fast-paced solitaire card game where the goal is to clear seven columns of five cards each. Like TriPeaks, you remove cards by playing any exposed card that is one rank higher or lower than the current waste pile card — and ranks wrap around, so Kings connect to Aces.

How It Works

A standard 52-card deck is dealt into seven columns of five face-up cards (35 total). The remaining 17 cards form the stock pile, with one card drawn to start the waste pile. Only the bottom (exposed) card of each column can be played.

Click any exposed card that is exactly one rank higher or lower than the waste pile top to play it. If no moves are available, click the stock to draw a new card. The game ends when all columns are cleared (you win) or when no moves remain and the stock is empty.

Scoring & Streaks

Golf Solitaire features a streak-based scoring system. Each consecutive card you play without drawing from the stock increases your streak multiplier. The first card in a streak earns 1 point, the second earns 2, the third earns 3, and so on. Drawing from the stock resets the streak to zero. Building long chains of consecutive plays is the key to achieving high scores.

Tips for Winning

• Scan all seven columns before making a move — plan your streak
• Look for zigzag runs (up-down-up) to extend streaks
• Use King↔Ace wrapping to “turn the corner” on long runs
• Save stock draws for when you truly have no playable cards
• Balance play across columns — emptying one column frees up space
