How to Play Fairway Solitaire
Fairway Solitaire is a brilliant mash-up of golf and classic card play that is far more addictive than it has any right to be. Clear the fairway by removing cards from the grid that are one rank higher or lower than your drawn card — plan your chains carefully, because every card you strand on the board costs you strokes. Remove every card to finish under par and unlock the next beautifully designed hole. The strategic heart is chain planning: expert players scan the entire grid before touching a card, mapping multiple routes so no draw leaves them stranded. Golf scoring adds delicious pressure — finishing under par feels like sinking a long putt. Special cards spice up the back nine: wilds bridge any gap, irons remove a chosen card and midas clubs multiply your score. Each hole's layout and hazards force new strategies, keeping hundreds of rounds feeling fresh. Whether you love solitaire, golf or just clever design, this hybrid hooks fast.
