9 Card Golf is a digital version of the traditional card game 'Golf.' Players are dealt nine cards face down and must swap them with cards from the deck or discard pile to achieve the lowest possible total score. Strategic thinking is required as you decide when to reveal cards and when to swap. Featuring clean graphics, smooth animations, and adjustable difficulty, it’s a perfect casual experience for card game enthusiasts.

Our Expert Score
9 Card Golf is a digital adaptation of the classic card game that manages to be both relaxing and strategic. It’s the perfect 'waiting in line' game because of its clean interface and straightforward rules. The goal is to have the lowest score by swapping out high cards for low ones, and the AI provides a decent challenge without being frustrating.
While it doesn't have flashy animations or high-octane action, its strength lies in its simplicity and the faithful recreation of the tabletop experience. For fans of solitaire or traditional card games, this is a solid addition to the folder. The UI is sharp, and the rounds are quick enough to keep you coming back for 'just one more game.'

Tips & Walkthrough
Aim for the lowest score over 9 or 18 'holes' (rounds). Aces are worth 1, and face cards have high values, so swap them out quickly!
If you align two cards of the same value in a column, they often cancel each other out or provide a score of zero, depending on the specific house rules used.
Gameplays
On your turn, draw from the deck or discard pile. Replace one of your nine cards to lower your total, but be careful—once you flip a card, it stays flipped.

Take out a row
Sat Jun 17 2023 Brent66935I love this game. However, I wish the game would take out a row when it contains three of the same card. That’s how I play at home and it would make it more entertaining.

Wed Mar 24 2021 YoshiB123I am truly enjoying the game, but I keep running into 2 main issues. The first occurs when you leave a game in progress and come back. it resets the hand allowing players to play the same hand over and over. The second issue is that whenever I start up it returns me to and old game on the 7th round. Strange. Over all I like the game, just wish it was a little less buggy.
Fun Hame But Problems
Wed Feb 08 2017 GGwyoThis game is very close to the 9 Card Golf game we play at home. Although the rules are different, these rules make the game a bit more challenging. With all that said.... the cards go blank and you have to start the game over- sometimes that doesn't even work and you have to reinstall. Fix these bugs and I would give it 5 stars
Could be much better
Mon Apr 19 2021 9cardplayetOnly one AI player. The AI is easy to beat every game on the hardest setting.

Sun Feb 26 2017 Jumbo3Great game and great support. This game is one of my favorite games that we play often. You can set it up to play by most popular rules quickly and easily and the support group could not be better. Be sure to tell all your friends to get it. They are continuing to improve the game and that is much appreciated. You can now play with your friends now with the latest ver.
Excellent
Thu Feb 23 2012 StormKing501An interesting card game, presented in an outstanding package. Card graphics are crisp and clear, and easy to read. Interface looks great and works well. The animations are nice, but a little choppy. They should be much smoother on my iPod Tough 4G, with iOS 5.0.1
Love the game, frustrated with app
Sat Oct 12 2013 Sparkle523Had the app for close to 9 months and in that time i've reinstalled at least 4-5 times, seems to be the only way to fix the bugs.. It'll keep kicking me out of the app & each time I go back in I have to replay from beginning the hand I was on & it frequently freezes up... And from time to time the comp player freezes up completely, I can take turn after turn but the computer won't play.
Excellent!
Fri Aug 23 2013 JJ1C13This is the best 9 card game out there. Great settings that allow you to control extra rules for play. Nice, clean board that can be modified to the colors and textures you like. Can't wait to see what may come in future updates!
