Clear seven columns in Classic Golf Solitaire. Move uncovered cards one rank above or below the waste, regardless of suit. Cards4 uses no King–Ace wrapping, and nothing can be played onto a king. Play free, with hints, undo and saved progress.
How to Play
- Deal one 52-card deck into seven columns of five face-up cards. One card starts the waste; the remaining 16 form the face-down stock. Clear all 35 tableau cards to win, even if stock cards remain.
- Only the uncovered card at the end of each column is playable. Removing it exposes the next card. All tableau ranks are visible, but covered cards cannot be moved.
- Move one exposed card to the waste if it is exactly one rank higher or lower. Suits and colors do not matter. For example, either 6♥ or 8♣ can follow 7♠; another 7 or a 9 cannot.
- Aces are low: A and 2 connect in both directions. A king can follow a queen, but nothing can follow a king — not even a queen. Neither A on K nor K on A is allowed.
- Draw one stock card to the waste whenever you choose. Each stock card is used once; there is no redeal. You cannot move cards between columns, fill an empty column, or move cards out of the waste.
- After the last stock draw, continue any legal tableau moves. The game is lost only when cards remain in the tableau, the stock is empty and no legal pick remains.
- Tap or click a column’s uncovered card to play. With a keyboard, use Tab to focus a column or control and Enter or Space to activate it. Hint suggests a legal move; Escape clears the hint. Undo reverses picks and stock draws.
- New game deals fresh cards. Reset replays the same deal. Progress is saved automatically; this version uses random deals and does not promise a solution.
Strategy
Look behind matching cards
With 7 on the waste and two exposed 6s, compare the cards they uncover. A 6 covering a 5 may continue immediately. A 6 covering a queen does not. Plan using every visible rank, not just the seven playable cards.
Delay a king when a jack helps
With a queen on the waste, both a jack and a king may fit. A king ends the chain. A jack may let you remove more cards before the next draw. Check what each choice exposes; neither choice guarantees a win.
Spend the stock deliberately
Drawing is allowed even when a pick exists, but it spends one of only 16 stock cards. Look for useful sequences before drawing. After a king, a stock draw is the only forward move unless the tableau is already clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an ace follow a king in Golf Solitaire?
Not in Cards4 Classic Golf. Ace and king never connect. An ace connects only to a two. Other Golf versions may allow wrapping, so check their rules.
Can a queen follow a king?
No. In this version, nothing can be played onto a king. The reverse is legal: an uncovered king can be played onto a queen. Some relaxed Golf versions allow queens on kings.
What happens when the stock runs out?
There is no redeal. Continue any legal moves from the columns. You lose only when the stock is empty, no tableau move is legal and cards remain. Clearing the tableau wins immediately.
Is every deal winnable?
These are random deals without a solvability guarantee. Hints show legal moves, not proven winning continuations. Golf has no solvable-deal or daily mode here.
Can I play with a keyboard and resume later?
Yes. Tab moves focus between the column ends and controls; Enter or Space activates them. Undo can reverse picks and draws. Saved progress resumes when you return in the same browser, or through your account’s saves.
How does Golf differ from TriPeaks or six-card Golf?
Golf shows all 35 cards in seven columns and uses the strict king rule. Cards4 TriPeaks uses a 28-card peak layout with King–Ace wrapping. Six-card Golf is a separate multiplayer game; this page is single-player solitaire.
