'''''Family Computer Golf: Japan Course''''' (ゴルフJAPANコース) 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]]'' and the later ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. The courses in the game are based on real-life courses in [[Japan]].
'''''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. As with most FDS games, side A of the disk is reserved for menus and saving scores, while side B is used for the gameplay.


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 The two gold versions]</ref> Both versions are harder and have an extra course added in. The top 100 contestants received the Champions' Course gold disk (yellow sticker) which came in a luxury case along with a gold plaque. On the game's title screen is the contestant's name and rank, making each disk unique.<ref>[https://tepcodan.blog.ss-blog.jp/2013-01-17 Golf Champions' Course]</ref> Around 5000 runners-up and raffle winners received the Professional Course gold disk (white sticker) which came in a Diskun case.

==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 each hole may appear in one of three positions on each green. 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.


The game received a companion title a few months later as ''[[Family Computer Golf: U.S. Course]]'', which had courses modeled after real [[United States of America|American]] courses.

{{multiframe|[[File:Golf JC P2 Luigi.png]][[File:Golf JC P2 COMP1.png]]|bg=gray|Luigi and COMP1}}
There are four game modes, which can be chosen between by pressing left and right at the top option of the main menu:
*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.
 
===Clubs===
The draws listed are as they are on the tee or fairway with no wind resistance. The three levels of rough grass and three levels of bunker sand all detract varying amounts from it. Swinging at a higher speed usually increases it, but runs a greater risk of losing control on the ball's curve.

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！].

==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.
