Not to be confused with Mario Golf (series).

Golf is a series of games by Nintendo based on the sport of the same name. It involves the player's character golfing through 18 holes in a course using various clubs, taking stock of wind and grass type while avoiding hazards like water and sand traps.

Because Mario is Nintendo's primary mascot, he is a playable character in most Golf games, to the point of him receiving his own series, Mario Golf, featuring elements from his own franchise. Compared to Mario Golf, the Golf series is more closely based on real-life golf, and Mario's inclusion is mainly for mascot status, not unlike other games from other series, such as the Game Boy game Tetris, part of the series of the same name. Because of this, it is ambiguous as to whether Golf is a series within the Mario franchise.
