Understand the basics of Golf Solitaire

For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Remove all 35 tableau cards. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. Keep the active rule in mind. Take an exposed bottom card one rank above or below the waste top, allowing ace–king wrapping. Use another round to revisit a decision.

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