Just need to vent about this. I really, really love this game, but it is driving me crazy. On this course, you have 18 holes and it seems impossible to get the goal of -1 . Even if I can be under par for the first nine holes, the back nine seems to be something that you cannot beat, especially the last four holes. I have been doing this over about four days and I can't get past this course. Anyway, just needed to vent about this, anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!!! :HNY:

Oops, I just did this hole on the 2nd try. Just keep plugging on, Koalanut, you will get there

I learned the hard way that on the later places you really need to save up your irons and then use them very carefully.
Good luck and hang in there.

Just found a course where you have to get a run of 20 to progress ....
EDIT Woo hoo - did it first time. No irons left though

Koalanut,

Of all the goals I've faced so far in this game, I like the long runs the least So many times, I'd get to the within 2 or 3 cards of making it and get stuck with or without using the clubs

I'm with you, I don't mind replaying the game several times, but those long runs can be so frustrating and seem so futile but perseverence is the key that makes it worth it So hang in there

Thanks all, gonna get back to that game. I have been within a stroke or two several times. So maybe this time....?

Koalanut

WAAAAHHHOOOOOOOO! I played it twice more, and finally I beat this level. On to the next one!!!

Thanks for all the help here---Gameboomers are GREAT!!!

I know that you are discussing the Cherry Lakes in the purchased version of the game (which I haven't arrived at) but I have problems with the Cherry Lakes course in the online game. You need to score 5 perfect holes to move on and I've only been able to manage 3 at best. I find this a VERY frustrating course on the online game so I certainly know what you are going though

Hey Koalanut,

After posting yesterday, I went to play this game and realized I'm stuck on the same course as you are/were and, yes, it's a real bugger I reached as low as +5 yesterday aargh! !

If you can hang on, so can I - I mean, is this fun or what

Well Butterflybabe, after five days of trying off and on, I FINALLY beat that level. If it is any encouragement to you to keep on, the next four or five levels I beat the first time. Sorta stuck again on this level, but I have only tried twice. So I am off to try the third time. I think this is fun....

And Skye, I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't ahead on this game!!!

I've been playing Fairway Solitaire for 2 days now and enjoying it very much indeed. Years ago I played the card solitaire game and found it boring, but now, with the golf added, it becomes something else again and I'm finding it a lot of fun, especially those wild shots!

Just a heads up....

Another 18 hole course with a minus one score goal..... Ace Golf Club.....I may be busy for awhile!

Koalanut

Can I look smug as I am a couple of rounds ahead of you - it IS doable, I promise. Look on the bright side, the game is nice & long & jolly good value ...

Ok, I know I am being very smug here
But after trying for so long with Cherry Lakes, I thought, oh no, another one just like it in the Aces course. BUT....

I beat it the FIRST time!!!!! I mean flying colors kind of beat, way under par!!!! And the next one only took me two times to get two perfect scores. So am I getting better, or is the game just being nice to me....?

Koalanut

Koala, isn't it great when the game works out the way you want it to

Woo hoo - I just had a run of 23 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looney4Labs...

It IS so great when you finally hit that stride in a game.
But I do love a challenge!!! ( I know, I know, I WAS the one complaining ) But I did get my husband hooked on this game and my daughter when she came home for Christmas break from college. Not sure what it is about this game, but we are addicted here at my house.


Hey BFG-Guy, I have a question. We have been playing Fairway for awhile now and we noticed that I got a run of 27 but no trophey for that. I did use a mulligan and a club during that run, so did that keep me from getting the trophey? Also I played a course with every score was under par and no trophey for that either, which we thought that was a trophey too. Am I confused or missing something? Thanks for any help!

Koalanut

Koala, you have to get a run of OVER 27. Just did it, now no clubs left.

Ah ha, I guess it helps to read the WHOLE sentence. Saw I got 27 and went back and saw the 27 on the tropheys and didn't see OVER . Oh well, at least I know that I can mulligan and/or use clubs to get 28 !

Thanks JennyP!!! Got too excited, this game is so addicting to me!

Here's a tip for everyone,

If you ever get a stuck on a level and need more irons, replay Solitaire Municipal.

On the "Available Courses" menu, scroll all the way back to Solitaire Municipal and select it to play.

Once you're done with that round, your iron bag should be almost, if not completely full. Then you can simply go back and replay whatever level was giving you a hard time and hopefully beat it. Whatever irons you earned will be carried over.

I'd heard so much anout Cherry Lakes that I was dreading playing it, I passed it on the first or second try. Ironically, I got stuck on the very next level...go figure...but I did beat after a few tries.

Hi Koalanut, I think I used to see you posting over at PF.

I only have about 6 more courses to go, its so exciting !

I'm stuck at Joe's Gas and Golf for a while. It has a different arrangement of cards. The game is resting in a corner.

Hey, I know where Joe is--we can go smack him around if the game is becoming too difficult

I am so stuck there too. Thanks to the Boomer who told us where to get all the clubs.

Second go around; just don't know what to do with all these trophies.

First time I was so stuck at Joes too. Now I find I'm getting stuck on some courses that I wasn't the first time.

MaG, are you sure you're not sitting in the corner, instead of the game?
Teasin' ya.

Hahahahaha. Y'all are funny. I have not been back there yet.
Okay, smarties. The best I did on that course is +2, I think.

Jenny, clubs - how now brown cow? I better get more clubs.

Trippy, you got the all eagle trophy? Wow!

L4L, Sounds good to me.
