'''Shifting Sands''' is the third course in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. It is a desert course that features a combination of expansive sand seas and rocky valleys. Ruins and cacti are found throughout the course, and its fairways are often bumpy or segmented. It has the fewest water hazards of any course in the game, only having one on the second hole in the form of an oasis. The course's name may be a reference to the "Shifting Sands", the enchanted deserts in {{wp|L. Frank Baum}}'s {{wp|List of Oz books|''Oz'' books}}. It also bears superficial resemblance to [[Shifting Sand Land]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', being a desert area with ruins and [[Klepto]]s.
'''Shifting Sands''' is a course in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. It is very similar and the name may be based on [[Shifting Sand Land]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or a reference to the "Shifting Sands", the enchanted deserts in L. Frank Baum's ''Oz'' books.


==Holes==
The Shifting Sands course is filled with many sand dunes and sand traps, along with some cracked ground that can quickly stop the ball. Throughout the course, the player is taken through ruins, pyramids, cliffs, sphinxes, and a small water hole at hole 14, while [[Klepto]]s fly around once in a while. In the last hole of the course, the sun sets, at which time the winner is announced when the game is finished.
