Find all seven courses and their access conditions.

| Course | Unlock | Hazard focus |
|---|---|---|
| Lakitu Valley | Available initially | Trees and introductory layouts |
| Cheep Cheep Falls | Win Lakitu Cup | Ponds and rivers |
| Shifting Sands | Win Cheep Cheep Tournament | Sand, rocks and cacti |
| Blooper Bay | Win Sands Classic | Fast Fairways and coastal hazards |
| Peach’s Castle Grounds | Win Blooper Open | Pipes, mushrooms and Chain Chomps |
| Bowser Badlands | Win Peach’s Invitational | Lava, enemies and tight landings |
Congo Canopy is a separate par-three course
It starts available in Birdie Challenge and Near-Pin modes. Finish the Back 9 Birdie Challenge to make it available for Stroke Play.
| Course | Watch for | Safer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Cheep Cheep Falls | Water behind the green | Land before the flag |
| Shifting Sands | Waste areas and bunkers | Choose a broad fairway section |
| Blooper Bay | Fast Fairway roll | Allow more stopping distance |
| Peach’s Castle Grounds | Interactive obstacles | Inspect the whole flight and landing |
| Congo Canopy | Small elevated targets | Favor the center of the green |
Fantasy hazards can alter a planned shot
Warp Pipes, Chain Chomps and giant mushrooms appear on Peach’s Castle Grounds. Inspect the landing area rather than assuming the distance marker guarantees ordinary fairway behavior.
Bowser Badlands punishes narrow misses
Lava and enemies leave less recovery room. A conservative club choice that leaves a full next shot can be better than a long drive beside a hazard.
