The singular Japanese version features the same [[Mario]] lookalike as the NES game but has 26 holes in total. 17 of these holes are edited versions of holes from the original ''Golf'', with aspects such as the putting green, out-of-bounds trees, bunkers, and water hazards given more difficult positions. Due to its nature as an arcade game, a points system is in place, measured in hundreds; in Stroke Play, a bogey loses 100 points and a double bogey or above loses 200 points; in Match Play, losing a round loses 100 points, while getting an equal score on a hole while sinking the ball second loses 50 points. Reaching zero points causes a game over, needing extra credits to continue. It has an attract mode showing gameplay.

Two international versions of the game exist, with one having the same male character as the NES version, but the other instead featuring a female player. These each have 21 possible holes for each 18-hole playthrough. Most of the Men's version uses holes straight from the NES version with occasional minor changes. In the Ladies' version, a few holes are reused from the Japanese release with a few tweaks, but most are completely unique. The points system in these versions was altered to be more forgiving, with the points being measured in single and double digits depending on how many credits are inserted and losing a smaller amount proportional to the amount of strokes taken, though pars also lose a single point on Stroke Play. On Match Play, each player loses one point for every stroke, getting them back by sinking their ball quicker by way of a "1up" that grants more points, or simply the standard point bonus for sinking it in a small enough amount of strokes. Unlike the Japanese version, the golfer in these releases performs a fist-pump upon getting a birdie or lower. These releases have attract modes with instructions.
