Fairway Solitaire is a unique card game that combines classic solitaire with a golf-themed twist. Clear cards from the board to lower your score and reach 'under par' across hundreds of beautifully designed courses. Use power-ups like irons and wild cards to overcome obstacles like long grass and sand traps. Featuring hilarious commentary, daily events, and the mischievous gopher, it’s a solitaire experience like no other.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

89/100

Fairway Solitaire is proof that you can take two completely unrelated themes and smash them together into something wonderful. It’s not just solitaire; it’s a strategic board-clearer with the scoring and hazards of a golf course. The addition of the 'Irons' as wildcards adds a level of strategy that standard solitaire lacks, allowing you to save a failing run with a well-timed play.

The personality of the game is what really wins you over. The McDivot the Gopher character and the humorous commentary make the experience feel lively and funny. There’s a huge amount of content here, from the massive main course list to the daily tournaments. It’s the kind of game that’s easy to play with one hand, making it perfect for a quick break, yet deep enough that you’ll find yourself playing for an hour without realizing it.

It uses golf scoring and themes, but the core gameplay is a clever variation of Tri-Peaks Solitaire.

Great app but I have to say...
Fri Dec 14 2018 Likeflint

...I was a little bummed out that I paid for this app many years ago. When I went to download it again that paid version was gone and in place is this free/IAP version. I’ve played this game for years and despite not being thrilled about the new model I can understand why they went that route. It’s just the way things are now and it’s also the reason I don’t really play iPad games anymore. However, Ive Played a lot of games with in app purchases and I have to say I think that Big Fish approached it very fairly. You never feel forced to make purchases to keep playing, and even for people who like to get all the stars/achievements like me it is possible with elbow grease and dedication. Mostly I just ignore some of the elements they put in to make it more addicting and try not to worry too much about getting three stars on everything. It’s just a nice game to relax with before bed, on a Sunday, or during a bath, so definitely recommended!

Love this Game

I have been playing this game for ~7 years and I still love it. Now for the greedy, money hungry developers, what is ur problem? i play this game on all my devices. Today on my Ipad I can buy 450,000 golf bucks for $99; however on my Ipad mini today I can buy 2,650,000 golf bucks for $99!!! Why the big major difference in price, and the price of your Midas clubs at 135 midas clubs for $99 on ipad vs 950 clubs for $99 on my mini is pretty cheap on ur part. I once bought (not that many weeks ago) like 2000 midas clubs for $99!! i am obviously resigned to playing on one device as it is the only one that hands out a bargain. Prices should be bargains if you really want people to play and continue and should be the same on all devices. I am continually waiting the bargain prices to stock up but they are few and far between and when I run out I move on to the next game (right now hidden object games) - I am willing to spend the money but only for big bargain! i am updating to complain and would like explanation as to why the prices on one device are not the same price on another. on aug 25 of this year i splurged on almost 4,000,000 golf bucks for $99 (thats right just under 4 million) today on my ipad i can only get 420,000 for $99 - i am only getting these great offers on my ipad mini. but i like to play on bigger screen too. still love this game though, have been playing at least 5 years.

Bugs.....

There are features that used to work, that NEVER work now, and I don’t use that word lightly. Like the replay feature where you used to be able to replay a hole.... it NEVER allows you to replay a hole anymore. Also, now when you click on the clubs to use a free club, a screen pops up that says that feature isn’t available at this time??? There are times when I win a bonus and my money isn’t reflected in my total.... That being said.... Now my opinion on the play: There are WAaaaay too many gopher got ya, pop ups, seems like that is all that ever pops up any more. Plus now, not only do you lose just cards, now you lose cards from your draw pile and he steals your money??? When did people start becoming so greedy with fake money? It’s hard enough to get any money without that little rodent taking it every 20 seconds... Being Kinda stingy with that fake money don’t ya think? How bout throwing in some kind of I don’t know magical bonus every now and then when a guy is down on his luck.... Especially if your going to have that mutant eating up all the cards and money all the time! Geez. I can’t even afford to buy clubs.... EVER! I have to depend on the videos & Free club cards for what I do get. Need to loosen up those fake purse strings a bit, if a guy can’t ever win a game there’s no point in even playing it anymore. Just saying.

I love this game, but many times when playing those mini games? for coins, I’ll win maybe 4,000 then nothing is credited, very frustrating. This happens quite a bit, but mainly when I win a large amount. I’m thinking of getting rid of this game and trying another one. It happened again tonight. Won 4,000 on mini game then another 1,000 fo watching a video. I waited & waited, none of the coins were credited to me. Is this done purposely to get people to buy coins. I refuse to spend money on a fun pastime. Come on pay up!!! Adding on to this review, again this morning played mini game for points & watching ads, won total of 5k +, NOTHING WAS CREDITED, yes, it’s a free game, but why the pretense that you’ll win to watch ads or play mini games & then not give you anything. Be honest and don’t pretend you’ll give me a reward!!!! AfterAnother update it’s forced on me which of course I noticed, but the previous update is making the game harder and harder to win forcing me to spend my points. So I’ve decided since the big winds don’t seem to be credited I’m just going to spend all the credits I have and move on to another game. Fortunately you’re not the only game in town that is fun.

Solitaire is solitaire, this one’s full of bugs

As solitaire games go, this one is just okay—it is definitely designed to be hard enough to force you to buy boosters and such. They muck with it a lot and the updates seem to make things worse. They started teams, but only had forums for like, a minute, so there’s no way to communicate with your team. The rewards are super-buggy. They just gave us a 20,000 booster award (they say by accident), but they took three days to notice, and then they just took the boosters away, even though we had all been playing for three days like they were ours, and the consolation prize they gave us for THEIR mistake wasn’t even a little bit close to the same value, so I was actually worse off than if they had just gotten it right in the first place. Most places, when they make an error in the customer’s favor, just let it go. Because they acknowledge their own mistake and want to keep a good reputation. Not these guys! I am seriously considering deleting this game after that kind of treatment, which would be a shame, because I’ve been playing for several years, and had made a lot of progress. There are so many solitaire apps out there—you can surely find one where TPTB aren’t such greedy jerks.

Very disappointed

*** Editing this review and not in a good way. All I want to do is relax and have some fun doing it and not spend a fortune but it gets harder and harder. You only earn 500GB for each free video and 2 Midas clubs-and u can do this 2X for each. Videos are way too long. Earning 1000 GB isn’t enough because to fill your bag costs way more GB. And getting free stamps is useless because you earn the same stamp over and over which of course isn’t needed. It’s a shame because it really is a good game concept but in my opinion it’s way too expensive and I no longer enjoy it. It’s a fun game but there are some problems. In order to get a few extra coins you have to watch a video but the videos are way too long and then sometimes the video freezes and you have to restart and restart. One time I had to completely delete the game and reload it. The irons get more expensive the longer you play the game. I did end up buying more coins one time because I was enjoying the game but I won’t buy any more. Its just not worth it when you can see the obvious greed of the company. The more you play the more it will cost you. Why would I want to give you money when you make it so tough to win anything.

What’s with the Pac-Man interrupting the game while going through the videos, and the videos hanging up. Your going to loose a bunch of players with these crazy interruptions! Or is that the plan? Good luck, hope you can fix... Soon, Very frustrating to try to get points or clubs. I spend more time collecting them than actually playing. Another huge issue I have is when the daily game comes up, many, many times I have a screen with no graphics whatsoever,then the game says “you lost” of course, duh. Please fix these frustrating problems or I’m done, going back to regular solitaire. DONE! One star. right, that at times is very frustrating to get points. Hey, I have the same situation as above,, daily games with no graphics. What’s that about? Very hard to win! And yeah, the videos that advertise are annoying enough, but because they’re always stopping, takes five minutes to get through them. Please fix this stuff!

Great game with a golf twist that’s fun

Basic Solitaire, in my opinion, is boring and not very challenging. The developers have made this game challenging, entertaining and addictive. I’ve spent very little money and don’t understand the complaints. Like every new game, it takes time to learn and understand all the options and how to get your rewards and freebies. Actually, the instructions about the stamps should be clearer. I played a while until I understood that if there is a number on the stamp in the lower right hand corner that a stamp was available to redeem. The developers are super generous as they give you gold bucks and Midas clubs everyday just by watching their movie adds. This is not a problem, it just takes time, about 30 seconds per add. And actually some of the movies/adds are entertaining and the graphics are remarkable. I’ve also found other interesting games by watching these adds.
