Golf Wrap Solitaire
Golf Wrap is the standard, more accessible version of Golf Solitaire where sequences wrap around from King to Ace and Ace to King. This wrapping creates the potential for longer, uninterrupted chains and makes more deals winnable. The flowing nature of wrapping sequences gives the game a satisfying rhythm as cards cascade from the tableau.
How to Play Golf Wrap Solitaire
Layout
35 cards are dealt face-up into 7 columns of 5 cards each (the tableau). The remaining 17 cards form the stock pile. One card is dealt face-up to start the waste/foundation pile.
Objective
Clear all cards from the tableau by playing them onto the waste pile.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Look at the top card of the waste pile. You can play any tableau card that is exactly one rank higher or lower, regardless of suit.
- For example, if the waste pile shows a 7, you can play a 6 or an 8 from the tableau.
- Only the bottom (uncovered) card in each tableau column is playable.
- Build chains when possible — playing 5-6-7-8 in sequence clears more cards than picking off singles.
- If no tableau card can be played, click the stock pile to draw a new card to the waste pile.
- In most variants, sequences wrap: you can play an Ace on a 2 or a King on a Queen.
- Win when all tableau cards are cleared. Each remaining card counts as a stroke — lower is better, like real golf.

Scoring System
Golf Solitaire is scored like real golf — fewer cards remaining is better. Each card moved to the foundation earns 10 points. Clear all tableau cards and the stock to achieve a perfect score.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In Golf, players often play the obvious card without checking the sequence potential. Always look for long runs — playing 5-6-7-8 is far more valuable than picking off single cards. Save your stock pile draws for when no tableau moves exist.
