| '''Out of Bounds''' (abbreviated as '''O.B.''') is a term in golf that appears in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. When a player hits a shot Out of Bounds, it means that their golf ball landed outside the boundaries of the golf course. When the player hits the ball where it lands outside of the boundaries, falls off the edge, lands in lava, in a [[Chain Chomp]] pit, or elsewhere that is not in the main course, it is qualified as Out of Bounds. Some sort of signal usually appears when the player hits Out of Bounds. The penalty for going Out of Bounds is one stroke, added on to the player's current score for the hole. The player must then hit the ball from the same place that they hit the Out of Bounds shot. In the early ''Mario Golf'' games, Toad is the one to alert the player of an Out of Bounds shot. In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] is the one to alert the player. When that happens, the announcer says, "Oh, too bad!".

| The '''Water Hazard''' serves a similar purpose; this event only occurs when the player's golf ball lands in a body of water. The penalty for hitting into a Water Hazard is the same as a regular Out of Bounds shot. However, if a ball goes into the water, the player must hit the ball a yard or two from the edge of the nearest land area from where the ball entered the water; this is called a Drop.

| ==Tree Hazard==
| |
| A '''Tree Hazard''' serves a purpose. This event only occurs when the player's golf ball gets stuck in a tree and it won't come down. The penalty for aiming at a tree is the same as a regular Out of Bounds shot. However, if a ball goes into a tree, the player has to hit the ball from wherever he/she aimed it from.

| ==Out of Course==
| |
| An '''Out of Course''' serves a purpose similar to OB. However, instead of being just out of bounds, the ball has gone out of the course, and then the player who hit the ball out of the course will receive a 1-stroke penalty. In the Nintendo 64 version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', the announcer (as well as the other players, if played in Multiplayer Mode) call out "Fore!" if an Out of Course shot is performed right before the ball lands.
