Golf Solitaire Overview
Golf Solitaire was one of those simple card games you'd find on Flash game sites in the early 2000s. It fit right in with other quick, single-player puzzles that were easy to learn but surprisingly hard to put down. The game didn't need a lot of fanfare; it was just there, ready for a few minutes of quiet focus.
You control the mouse, clicking cards from a tableau of seven columns. The goal is to clear the entire board by moving every card to a single waste pile. You can only move a card if it is one rank higher or lower than the card currently on top of that pile. This rule creates a chain of decisions, as each move reveals new cards underneath. The game starts calmly, but the options narrow quickly, and a single misstep can leave you with no moves left. It feels like a tidy, methodical puzzle where you are constantly calculating a step or two ahead.
