—In-game description

Shelltop Sanctuary is a golf course added in version 4.0.0 of Mario Golf: Super Rush. It takes place on top of a grassy plateau above the clouds with numerous shell-shaped structures and statues of the Koopa Troopa masters from Golf Adventure found throughout. In the center of the course is a pond inhabited by Cheep Cheeps and Cheep Chomps, the former of which periodically jump over the bridges, serving as obstacles for the players during Speed Golf. Certain areas of the course have fans which blow away balls that get caught in their wind stream. Like New Donk City, Shelltop Sanctuary is an all par 3 course with two available layouts. Unlike New Donk City, the locations of the tee boxes and greens are the same for both layouts, with the difference between the two being which greens are traveled to from which tee box. The tee boxes are colored blue in the Amateur layout and yellow in the Pro layout. This along with All-Star Summit are the only two courses to have Star Coins, which completely fill the Special Shot gauge when collected.

There is also a third layout, Special, which is exclusive to the One On, One Putt challenge. It is unlocked by clearing the Pro layout's challenge. For this layout, the player is only given one or two preselected clubs and a putter for each hole, including custom clubs otherwise only usable in Golf Adventure that dramatically alter the ball's trajectory, though Special Shots can be used to negate these effects. The tee boxes are red.

Holes

The yardages listed for each layout may differ due to variable pin locations.

Amateur

1		56 yards	The green is on top of a small hill with two bunkers on the left near statues of Master Stinger and Master Duff.

3		57 yards	This hole starts near the rock with the Star Coin above it from the previous hole. There is a large sand pit to the right of the green.
4		43 yards	The green has tall, curved rocks arched over its sides and a tree in front of it whose leaves hover over part of the green.
5		41 yards	The green is on top of a sloped ledge with a single bunker on the left. The ledge is too steep to climb, so players must walk around it to reach the green during Speed Golf.

7		47 yards	The green is on top of a mound surrounded by bunkers.
8		50 yards	The green is on a sloped peninsula that juts into the pond. There is a bunker next to the green's upper right edge.

10		57 yards	The green is near the edge of the pond, on top of a small hill. The green dips down near the upper edge.
11		45 yards	Several bunkers surround the green, including one on the lower middle edge that the green curves around.

Special

Hole	Image	Distance	Description
1		152 yards	The player is given a driver and must hit the ball past the Master Stinger and Master Duff statues and reach the green, accounting for the driver's low loft and subsequent long roll.
2		127 yards	The player must use the fast fairway to roll the ball on to the green, since the approach wedge the player is given does not hit the ball hard enough to reach the green otherwise.
3		131 yards	The player is given a Boomerang Fade 9 Iron, which dramatically curves the ball's trajectory depending on the player's dominant hand. If playing right handed, the player can use this to obtain a Star Coin while still landing on the green.
4		105 yards	The player is given a 6 iron. The green is on top of a hill. Depending on the pin position, the nearby rocks may obstruct the player's path to the hole.
5		190 yards	Using a Dry Bones Shell 3 Wood, the player must skip the ball across the sand and reach the green.
6		115 yards	The player is given a Boomerang Draw 9 Iron, which dramatically curves the ball's trajectory depending on the player's dominant hand. The objective is to curve the ball around the statue of Master Lob and land on the green.
7		152 yards	Using a Red Shell 3 Wood, the player must skip the ball across the waste underneath the Bramballs. This requires hitting the ball with less power than what would otherwise be used to reach the green here.
8		199 yards	Using a Green Shell 3 Wood, the player must skip the ball across the water to the green. The player must ensure that the Cheep Chomps are not in the ball's path upon swinging, or they will eat the ball.
9		57 yards	The player is given a sand wedge and must hit the ball over several trees to land on the green, which can be done by increasing the shot's loft.
10		81 yards	The player is given an approach wedge and must avoid the fans near the green.
11		72 yards	The player is given a pitching wedge and must hit the ball over a large rock.
12		155 yards	The player is given a Banana Fade 5 Hybrid, which dramatically curves the ball's trajectory depending on the player's dominant hand. If playing right handed, the player can use this to obtain a Star Coin while still landing on the green. This hole shares its green with Hole 6.
13		86 yards	The player is given a 7 iron and must hit the ball over a Bramball to reach a green on top of a hill.
14		184 yards	Using a Green Shell 3 Wood, the player must skip the ball across the water while avoiding the Cheep Cheeps and Cheep Chomps.
15		155 yards	The player is given a Banana Draw 5 Hybrid, which dramatically curves the ball's trajectory depending on the player's dominant hand. If playing right handed, the player can use this to obtain a Star Coin while still landing on the green.
16		116 yards	The player is given an 8 iron and must reach a green surrounded by rocks and a tree.
17		213 yards	Using a Green Shell 3 Wood, the player must skip the ball across the water while avoiding the Cheep Cheeps, Cheep Chomps, and bridges.
18		135 yards	The player is given a Boomerang Draw 9 Iron and a Boomerang Fade 9 Iron. Using one of these clubs, the player must curve the ball around a shell-shaped structure and reach the green.
