Play Golf Rush Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)
Golf dealt like Klondike: a staircase tableau, every card face-up, and just one pass through the stock. Plan every run before you spend a card.
Golf Rush Solitaire is Golf dealt like Klondike. Instead of Golf's flat lawn of seven piles of five, the tableau rises in a staircase — one card in the first pile, two in the second, and so on up to seven — and every one of the twenty-eight cards is dealt face-up. The twenty-three cards left over are fanned face-up in the stock, so the entire deck is in view from the very first move.
Play is pure Golf: send tableau cards to the single foundation, one rank up or one rank down at a time regardless of suit, and click the stock whenever you need a fresh foundation card. There is no wrapping between Ace and King, and the stock allows only a single pass. You win the moment the last tableau card is gone — any cards still waiting in the stock simply stay where they are, like strokes you never had to take.
Because nothing is hidden, Golf Rush is a more open puzzle than classic Golf: you can read the whole fan, plan your runs in advance, and decide exactly when to spend a stock card. The game is moderately difficult. It's played with a single deck, and your odds of victory come down mostly to skill.
Fans of Golf Solitaire and Putt Putt Solitaire will recognize the single foundation and the one-up-one-down play the moment they sit down.
New to the family? The original Solitaire is the classic starting point before you take on Golf Rush's staircase.

How to play Golf Rush Solitaire
Layout:
1 foundation pile: Build up or down in any suit, one rank at a time, with no wrapping between Ace and King. One card is dealt here at the start of the game.
7 tableau piles: No building. The top card of each pile may be played onto the foundation. The piles are dealt 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 cards face-up at the start of the game.
Stock: The 23 remaining cards, fanned face-up. Click the stock to deal its next card onto the foundation. There are no redeals.
Foundation:
There is one foundation pile, and it is given one card at the start of the game.
A card can be added to the foundation pile only if it's one rank higher or one rank lower than the pile's current top card, regardless of suit, so the cards that fit on a 9 are an 8 and a 10. There's no wraparound, so you can't play an Ace on a King or a King on an Ace. There is no limit to how many cards the pile can hold.
Cards played to the foundation stay there. With no building allowed on the tableau, they never come back into play.
Tableau:
Seven tableau piles rise in a staircase from one card to seven, dealt Klondike-style. Every card is dealt face-up.
No building is allowed on the tableau.
Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card can be played onto the foundation.
The tableau's empty spaces may not be filled.
You win as soon as all seven tableau piles are empty — the stock does not have to be played out.
Stock:
The stock is made up of the 23 leftover cards, fanned face-up so you can always see what is coming.
When you click on the stock, its next card is dealt to the top of the foundation pile. There's only one pass through the stock, so every click is a stroke you can't take back — spend one only when the tableau offers no play worth making.
