Overall, the game offers a fresh and relaxing take on golf, though it may require some grinding and exploration to fully appreciate its depth.

    • “Still a better love story than Twilight.”
    • “A little golf journey oversells its 'stunning' courses and struggles to stay fresh with a mostly safe approach, regardless of plot attempts.”
    • “If you are expecting a relaxing golf game with a loose story, this is not the game.”
    • “A Little Golf Journey oversells its 'stunning' courses and struggles to stay fresh with a mostly safe approach, regardless of plot attempts.”
