'''NES Open Tournament Golf'''  is a golf game for the [[NES]] that features [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as golfers. The Japanese version is called ''Mario Open Golf'' and is different from the American version in some ways.

=Gameplay=

''NES Open Tournament Golf'' has three courses: US Course, Japan Course, and UK Course. As with any golf game, the aim on any course is to hit the ball across the green and into the hole.

There are several different modes. Stroke Play allows the player to move up in rank. In Match Play, the player is challenged by a computer player. Tournament Mode gives the player the choice to choose Stroke Play or Match Play. Depending on the player's score and rank, they can earn prize money.

There is also Clubhouse Mode that acts as an Option menu. 

=Legacy=

This is notable as the first sports game to feature [[Mario]]. Additionally, ''[[Golf]]'' is thought to be loosely based on this game.
