Mario Open Golf

Mario hits the fairway

Mario Open Golf brought the mustachioed plumber to the world of competitive golf, offering a deep yet accessible take on the sport. With courses inspired by real-world locations, players could test their skills across multiple tournaments.

Familiar faces, golfing action

Mario and Luigi take centre stage, but Princess Peach and Daisy make appearances as caddies, while Donkey Kong handles finances at the clubhouse. The game’s mechanics, from swing timing to wind conditions, provided a solid challenge for players looking for a serious yet fun golf experience.

The Japanese exclusive

While this title was released internationally as NES Open Tournament Golf, the Japanese Mario Open Golf has some subtle differences. The game refined the formula established in earlier golf titles and remains a fan-favourite among retro sports games.
