'''''Golf: Japan Course''''' is a Japan-exclusive golf game released for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] on February 21, 1987. It is a golf game starring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. It is similar in gameplay to the earlier ''[[Golf]]'', though with polished mechanics. The holes in the game are fictional. The game received a companion title a few months later as ''[[Golf: U.S. Course]]'', which also had fictional holes and improves even further on the mechanics.

==Gameplay==
[[File:FCGJPC Gameplay.png|thumb|left|Mario on the first hole]]
The gameplay is similar to the original ''Golf'', though new features are added to improve the immersion and quality-of-life. There is now a distinction between fairways and rough grass, and trees now act as solid obstacles rather than simply an indicator of out-of-bounds areas; the out-of-bounds areas now have a clear boundary surrounding densely-packed forest instead. There are three levels each for rough grass and sand bunkers, with each making the ball more difficult to hit far. The player can now swing in any direction regardless of whether they are on the green or not. The greens themselves can now push the ball in multiple directions rather than only a single direction at a time, and the hole's exact position on the green varies. To change clubs, the player now needs to hold down {{button|NES|B}} and press up or down; pressing left or right while doing that switches between one of three swing speeds. The middle "2" speed is closest to what the swing speed in ''Golf'' is, while the default "1" is slower and "3" is faster.

There are four game modes:
*Mario Stroke Play: Mario plays by himself.
*2 Player Stroke Play: Mario and Luigi play alongside each other.
*Mario Match Play (not available in the gold editions): Mario plays against the computer opponent, called "COMP1," which is a palette swap of the brothers. He wears black overalls and hat over a brown shirt and shoes.
*2 Player Match Play: Mario and Luigi play against each other.
There are four slots to save scores (represented by balloons, the strings being cut by a crab when overwriting) with blank slots recorded as 900.

==Contest and alternate editions==

The game comes on a blue disk, meaning it is compatible with the Disk Fax, a device found in public places across Japan such as department stores. These machines would send the player's saved games and high score information to [[Nintendo]]. Nintendo held a contest centered around this game, and winners received one of two special versions of this game that came on a gold disk.<ref>[https://pony.velvet.jp/fcdisk/fmcmdskw28.html ◆オリジナルコース入りゴールデンカードはコースが2種類！]. ''Family Computer Disk System Art Database''. Retrieved January 22, 2021.</ref> Both versions are harder, replacing the course with new, more challenging holes. Around 80,000 contestants submitted their Mario Stroke Play scores with the national winner beating the rest with his cumulative score of 87.<ref>(August 16, 2022).

Around 5,000 runners-up and raffle winners received the Professional Course gold disk (white sticker), which came in a Diskun case. The redesigned title screen removes "Family Computer" at the top and adds「入賞」(''nyūshō'', "prize-winning") at the bottom.<ref>やまだくん (June 9, 2018).

The top 100 contestants received the Champions' Course gold disk (yellow sticker), which came in a luxury case along with a gold plaque with the winner's name and rank inscribed.

==Maps==
Each hole can appear in three locations, which is picked depending on how many strokes were made in the previous holes; this number does not change the hole in any regular interval, ie, per each swing, but instead uses more complex measures to determine it. In some holes, mainly in the Prize Card variants, all water on the map is randomly replaced with sand, which is determined at the game's beginning.
