Golf Solitaire — Play Free with Large Cards

Click the top card of any column if it is one rank above or below the waste top. A and K are adjacent (wraparound). Click the stock to draw a new waste card.

How to play Golf Solitaire

Golf Solitaire has you clearing seven columns of five cards each onto a waste pile by playing cards one rank above or below the current waste top. Ace and King are adjacent — the sequence wraps around — so a King can play on an Ace and vice versa. When no column card plays, draw from the stock for a new waste card.

The rules in short

Seven columns of 5 cards each (35 cards), all face-up. The first stock card starts the waste; 16 more remain in the stock.
Play any top column card that is one rank higher or lower than the waste top. Suit and color do not matter.
King and Ace are adjacent: a King plays on an Ace, and an Ace plays on a King.
When no column card can be played, draw from the stock to add a new waste card.
The stock is gone through once. When the stock is empty and no column card plays, the game ends.
You win by clearing all 35 column cards.

Tips

Plan chains in advance: look for runs of ascending and descending cards that can be played in sequence.
Avoid wasting a stock draw if a column card will play — every stock card saved is one more turn at the end.
When two cards play, choose the one that opens the longer chain or clears a column.

Questions

Does suit matter in Golf?

No. Only the rank matters: one higher or lower than the waste top, with Ace and King connecting.

Can I go through the stock more than once?

No. Each stock card is turned over once. When the stock is empty and no play is available, the game ends.

Does King wrap around to Ace?

Yes. On this board King and Ace are adjacent in both directions, so a King plays on an Ace and an Ace plays on a King.
