Every course can be unlocked in two ways, either through regular play or through Gold Adventure mode. This guide will cover both methods, as well as briefly describe each of the game’s courses, the diversity of which helps keep the game fresh and exciting.
How to Unlock Each Course in Mario Golf: Super Rush
Rookie Course
Rookie Course is the first course in the game, and by far, the best place to learn the basics (it is the tutorial, after all). It is where you will be given your free standard clubs by the Caddie Master and learn to use them, and the holes are very straightforward. There are few obstacles and weather isn’t an issue.
How to Unlock in Regular PlayThis course is unlocked for regular play by default and is one of the two courses available from the start.
How to Unlock in Golf AdventureIf you’re playing through Golf Adventure, Rookie Course will be available after you have completed the three tutorial exercises in Bonny Greens.
Bonny Greens
Bonny Greens is quite similar to Rookie Course but with more obstacles. Bunkers are more prevalent, and there are many more trees blocking potential shots. As Rookie Course exists as the tutorial, Bonny Greens is the first real course where you can put those new skills to the test.
How to Unlock in Regular PlayThis is the other course that is unlocked by default in regular play. You can drop right into this course without needing to play the Rookie Course.

Ridgerock Lake
Ridgerock Lake is the first course that allows you to select the order in which you play and complete holes. The course features more water and elevation than the other courses, as well as more dynamic obstacles, including enemies, tornadoes, and strong winds.

Balmy Dunes
Balmy Dunes is the game’s desert course. Visibility is low due to sandstorms, as well as strong winds. Numerous sand hazards and Pokeys roaming around will certainly cause you some trouble.

How to Unlock in Golf AdventureUnlocking in Golf Adventure is a bit trickier. You will need to complete the back nine of Ridgerock Lake with less than 40 strokes total, and unlock the bronze badge. You will then need to talk with Master Stinger to unlock this course.
Wildweather Woods
As the name suggests, you can expect some seriously inclement weather on this course. Beware of strong winds, rain, and lightning that can shock you if you strike your ball with too much power. The course is littered with puddles too.

The greens are incredibly hilly, and nowhere is safe from lava hazards. In Golf Adventure, some holes will even feature snow and ice.
