Games Like Fairway Solitaire: 7 Golf and TriPeaks Picks Compared
Seven games for players who like Fairway Solitaire, from a golf-scored TriPeaks tour to level-map TriPeaks games and two with no economy at all, compared on lives, coins, depth and offline play.
If you want a game like Fairway Solitaire, the only other one that keeps the golf scoring is Golf Solitaire: Pro Tour from MobilityWare, which plays seasons of holes counted in strokes. For the long level map, clubs and events Fairway is built around, Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks and Solitaire Grand Harvest are the closest, and Solitaire TriPeaks Journey has the biggest level count of the three. If you want the card game with no progression at all, TriPeaks Solitaire by MobilityWare and Microsoft Solitaire Collection cover that. Solitaire Castle Royal, which is ours, is the pick for a level map that keeps Fairway’s no-lives promise and also never charges coins to start a level. None of them has Fairway’s gopher, but all of them use the same one-up-or-one-down rule.
What Fairway Solitaire is, and who makes it now
Fairway Solitaire lays solitaire boards out as golf holes. You play one card up or one card down from your draw pile, suit ignored, and try to clear the hole while staying on par. When you get stuck, you pick a club from your bag: irons and Midas Clubs work as wild cards, and shuffle and preview power-ups help with awkward layouts. Around that sit week-long events, daily challenges, stamp collections, mini-games such as McDinko and Gopher Derby, and a Country Club system where a team chats and chases four tiers of weekly rewards.
Both store listings now name the publisher as BFG Entertainment, the company behind the Big Fish Games brand since Aristocrat sold Big Fish off in 2025, and the Google Play version was updated in late August 2026. The listing claims over 1,000 levels and states: "Play Fairway Solitaire for as long as you like; there are no lives or limits to your game play." That line is the main reason people stay with it. Everything else in this guide is sorted by which part of Fairway you would miss.
How we chose these games
We publish one of the games below, so here is the bar every pick had to clear.
- Same matching rule. Every pick uses one-up-or-one-down clearing, either on golf holes or on peaks. Klondike-only and Spider-only apps were cut. Where the layout is peaks rather than golf, the table says so.
- Something to come back for. Fairway players are used to events, collections and a level count in the thousands, so each pick either has a real progression system or leaves one out on purpose, and we say which.
- What limits a session, named plainly. Fairway’s pitch is no lives, so for every pick we state whether it uses lives, a coin cost, a subscription, ads, or nothing.
- Still maintained. Every pick had a Google Play update in 2026. Solitaire Story TriPeaks, which we have recommended before, was dropped this time because its Play listing had not been updated since August 2022.
- Verified from the developer’s own listing. Facts come from the App Store and Google Play pages, checked September 2026. Where a listing does not commit to something, such as offline play, we say "not stated". No ratings or download figures are quoted here.

If you want to keep the golf scoring
Golf Solitaire: Pro Tour, the only other golf tour
MobilityWare’s Pro Tour is the one app on this list that treats golf as the scoring system rather than just the scenery. You clear TriPeaks-style boards as holes, count strokes, and try to finish a season with the lowest score in your league, then chase a global champion ranking. Two small rules change how it plays: you choose your starting card to tee off, and a hold area lets you park one card until you need it. A wildcard clears a card when you are stuck. The listing promises unlimited levels and makes no mention of lives or a coin cost to play.
The limitation is ads. The app is ad-supported, and ad frequency is the main complaint in its App Store reviews, with one reviewer objecting to an ad on every hole. It is also a much smaller production than Fairway: the listing mentions no team clubs, collections or mini-games. If Fairway’s events were the draw, this will feel thin.
If you only want golf solitaire itself, with no seasons and no app, our free browser Golf Solitaire deals the classic seven-column layout with every card face up and counts one stroke for each card you leave behind. Not every deal can be cleared, which is how table golf works.
If you want a long level map with events
These three swap golf holes for peaks but keep what Fairway layers on top: a level map, recurring events, boosters and, for two of them, a team system. Each one also brings back something Fairway left out.
Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks, the closest to the Country Club
If the Country Club is what you would miss, start here. Scopely’s listing advertises more than 3,000 levels across several worlds, hazards to work around, wild cards and boosters, clubs you can join to play with or against friends, and a Friend Center for trading coins. It has a mascot cast in the same spirit as Fairway’s gopher: Tiki, a puppy called Poi, a volcano goddess and a pirate named Captain Karma. The play itself is standard peaks TriPeaks.
The limitation is the coin economy. Rounds cost coins, and coin scarcity is the complaint that dominates its critical reviews: players describe progress stalling until they wait, watch ads or buy a pack. That is the pressure Fairway’s no-limits line exists to avoid, so expect a different kind of wall. The listing also makes no offline claim.
Solitaire Grand Harvest, if you want something to build
Grand Harvest, from Supertreat, a Playtika studio, adds a second loop Fairway does not have. You clear TriPeaks levels for stars and credits, then spend gems decorating a farm and collecting crops through the day, with a dog named Sam to find for bonuses. Fairway’s rewards are stamps and trophies; Grand Harvest’s are a place that changes as you play. It also runs on the web as well as mobile. We compare it with Tiki in Grand Harvest vs Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks.
Two limitations. Rounds are paid for in credits, so a cold streak drains the balance, and the listing notes that you can buy random items with real money and that the game is intended for players 18 and older. Its offline promise is also soft: the description says "online or offline" and, further down, that you may need an internet connection to play.
Solitaire TriPeaks Journey, the biggest level count
Journey, published under the Ghost Studio and ME2ZEN names, is for players who want a map that never ends. Its Google Play listing claims more than 15,000 levels, with 75 more added every two weeks, plus boosters such as wild cards, tornadoes and lightning balls, merge events and themed destinations. It also says you can play online or offline, with progress syncing when you reconnect, which is a firmer offline promise than Fairway makes.
The limitation is the one Fairway players tend to be avoiding: lives. Extra lives are sold individually, and the App Store lists monthly, quarterly and yearly subscriptions whose perks include a higher lives cap. If "no lives or limits" is the reason you like Fairway, Journey is the pick on this list that least respects it. We cover it in more depth in games like Solitaire TriPeaks Journey.
If you want the card game with no economy
TriPeaks Solitaire by MobilityWare, unlimited deals
MobilityWare’s TriPeaks deals random hands forever. Its listing puts it plainly: "no more waiting for the next TriPeaks level to unlock." There is a daily challenge each day that earns a crown when solved, monthly trophies for collecting crowns, and undo and hints on every deal. No lives, no coins, no map. For a player who liked Fairway’s no-limits line and could take or leave the rest, this is the purest version of that idea.
The limitation is that nothing accumulates. There are no events, collections or courses, so if the sense of travelling somewhere kept you opening Fairway, this will feel flat within a week. The free version is ad-supported, and the listing does not state whether deals work offline.
Microsoft Solitaire Collection, five games in one
Microsoft’s app includes TriPeaks as one of five modes, alongside Klondike, Spider, FreeCell and Pyramid. It adds five new daily challenges a day, weekly rewards, events with leaderboards and a difficulty setting, and a Microsoft or Xbox account carries progress across devices. If you play Fairway partly for the variety of challenge types, having five card games in one place covers a similar need.
Three limitations. There is no Golf mode, so you get peaks rather than holes. The Google Play listing says a persistent internet connection is required, which rules it out for flights. And removing ads is a Premium subscription, a recurring cost, rather than a one-time purchase.
Solitaire Castle Royal, ours, with no lives and no coin cost
This one is ours, so weigh what follows accordingly. Castle Royal is TriPeaks on a level map, and it shares Fairway’s central promise: there are no lives, so a lost level costs you the retry and nothing else. It goes one step further on the economy. Coins are never needed to start a level, and every level is winnable without power-ups, so a hard board is a puzzle rather than a prompt to buy a club. There are 14,000-plus levels with new ones every month, standard levels are untimed, and players who finish the catalogue move into Kings League. Between hands you restore King Archibald’s castle and fill out a stamp collection, which will feel familiar if you liked Fairway’s stamps. You can play TriPeaks free in your browser to check the feel first.
Levels play offline with progress saved on the device, and the game runs on iOS, Android, Chromebook and PC through Google Play Games. The free version shows ads; removing them is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It is free on the App Store and Google Play, and the mobile game page answers the usual questions about levels, ads and offline play.
Now the gaps. It is not golf: there are no holes, no par and no strokes, so Pro Tour is the closer match on format. Fairway beats us on personality, with a gopher and four mini-games that we have nothing to set against. There is no team system either, so Tiki and Fairway’s Country Club both beat us for anyone who plays for the club chat. Our events (Wild Rush, Grand Ball, Skydash and World Tour Puzzles) run in limited-time windows and need a connection.
Picking one
- Want golf scoring, holes and par? Golf Solitaire: Pro Tour, if you can live with the ads.
- Want a team to play with? Tiki Solitaire TriPeaks, accepting that rounds cost coins.
- Want something to build between levels? Solitaire Grand Harvest, for the farm.
- Want the most levels and dependable offline play? Solitaire TriPeaks Journey, if lives do not bother you.
- Want to play forever with nothing to manage? TriPeaks Solitaire by MobilityWare.
- Want several card games in one app and always have a connection? Microsoft Solitaire Collection.
- Want a level map with no lives and no coin cost to start a level? Solitaire Castle Royal, which is ours, on the understanding that it is peaks, not golf.
The quickest way to choose is to ask what you would miss first if Fairway disappeared tomorrow. If it is the golf, only Pro Tour keeps it. If it is the club, Tiki. If it is simply being allowed to keep playing, pick from the games above that have no lives, then choose between a map and no map.
