Golf Solitaire strategy: build longer runs

Golf feels light, but a single choice can turn a two-card move into a ten-card run.

Read the whole edge

Before playing, note every available rank and look for paths that rise, reverse and fall.

Open choices, not dead ends

Prefer a card that exposes a useful next rank rather than one that ends immediately.

Delay the draw

The stock cannot be recovered, so inspect every exposed card before spending the next one.

Keep in mind

  • Map a run before starting.
  • Use reversals.
  • Open useful ranks.
  • Draw only when the tableau is exhausted.
