| '''''Golf''''' is the first sports game [[Mario]] participated in. It is an game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] released in 1984. It is based on the [[wikipedia:Golf|sport of the same name]]. It could also be played on the [[Nintendo PlayChoice-10]]. In the Western version of the game, the golfer is Mario, though he is not wearing his traditional shirt and overalls.<ref>As stated in the ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide</ref> However, he is not the golfer in the Japanese version as the game ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'' would retcon the golfer's identity as ''Ossan''. Additionally, the [[Game Boy]] port of this game would feature Mario on the cover of the Western version, but not the Japanese version.

| |
| The gameplay of this game is pretty simple. The player is given a ball, and a map on the right side of the screen shows the hole that they want to get to. The obstacles on the way are also over here. The player will get more points depending on how many times they hit the ball to get it into the hole. Many different types of clubs are also available.

| <blockquote>
| |
| ''Bogey, par, birdie, or Eagle.<br>
| |
| ''The score is up to you.<br>
| |
| ''Golf is 18 holes of realistic links action. Each hole has tricky hazards, so strategy is a must.<br>
| |
| ''Read the wind direction, check the distance, select a club, adjust your swing and keep your eye on the ball. Now drive it home. <br>
| |
| ''From twisting fairways and hungry sand traps to big water hazards and deceptive greens, Golf is packed with challenges.
