The board of Golf Solitaire consists of 7 columns of 5 cards each, forming the tableau. The remaining 17 cards are turned face down to form the stock pile. The cards from the stock pile can be flipped over, one at a time, and placed on top of the home stack. The game begins when the first card from the stock pile is flipped. The cards from the tableau can be moved to the home stack in ascending or descending order only. Variations of the game exist where it is allowed for an Ace to be placed on top of a King and vice versa. The game ends when the stock pile is empty and no further moves can be made.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Golf Solitaire Now holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golf Solitaire Now has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Golf Solitaire Now's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dr. Spider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Golf Solitaire Now ships an update every 8 months, Dr. Spider every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
