Objective

Move the cards from the 7 piles to the waste.

The game

Stock

It is located in the lower left corner;
Click to turn one card over in the waste;
You can only use cards from the stock once.

Waste

It is located to the right of the stock;
It is arranged in ascending or descending order, regardless of the suit.

Tableau

There are 7 piles with 5 cards each (35 in total);
Piles cannot be sorted and only the top card can be used.

Variations

Use the "New Game" button to choose between one of the game modes (face down or face up cards).

Face Up Cards

All cards in the 7 piles start open. It is the easiest version of the game, as it allows you to plan several future moves;
Depends more on skill than luck.

Face Down Cards

The pile cards are only turned over (opened) as the free cards are being used;
By not allowing the planning of "rehearsed moves", it is more difficult and requires luck when choosing a move when two or more are possible;
Experienced players can use the discard cards to get an idea of the cards yet to come and plan accordingly.

Strategies

Make as many moves as possible before tapping another card from the stock - they are limited and should only be used when absolutely necessary;
In the possibility of playing two similar moves, choose the one that will release a card different from those that are already free to be played;
Try to keep the piles balanced (one or two piles full and the others almost empty). At the end of the game it is ideal to have one or two cards in each pile, as this increases your range of possible moves;
Avoid losing moves due to lack of attention, for example, remember that after the King (K) the Ace can be played and vice versa;
If you don't like the moves you've made, you can always undo some moves and decide on another path.

Other Information

Golf Solitaire is very similar to Elevator Solitaire and Tri Peaks Solitaire. If you want to challenge your luck and patience, check out Elevator.
1 point is added for each card removed from the piles, so you can get up to 35 points;
In the original version of this solitaire it is not allowed to play anything on top of the King (K). This way the game becomes incredibly difficult (only 2% of the games are winnable);
