The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players finding it annoying and reminiscent of outdated stock tracks, particularly a repetitive sax jazz theme. While some appreciate the option to mute the music and enjoy the ambient sounds, the lack of a comprehensive audio customization feature has frustrated users, especially during gameplay. Overall, the music detracts from the experience rather than enhancing it.
“A great addition is the nighttime play, great music.”
“The music reminds me of old school The Sims.”
“An option to turn off the music would be great; however, in its current state, this is not present.”
“All the decorations were adorable but on this course you can't adjust the terrible stock wailing sax jazz music and there weren't even nature sounds, so I'm just slapping a ball around another 18 holes of sticky ski-ball to the awful sounds of stock music, getting extremely frustrated.”
“The music at times can be extremely obnoxious, especially when you are trying to concentrate.”
“I got this because of the autumn aesthetic and at first I was thrilled because I could mute the really terrible music and just walk around a windy autumn park and listen to the breeze and check out all the cool autumn decorations.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality, especially considering its low price point, with a notable autumn aesthetic that enhances the experience. However, players have noted that there is minimal difference between the highest and lowest graphical settings, and some have experienced jittery controls without options for fine-tuning graphics or mouse sensitivity. Overall, while the visuals are appealing, they are somewhat hindered by technical limitations.
“I have purchased 5 different miniature golf games so far, and this is one of the least expensive games, but it still has nice graphics.”
“I got this because of the autumn aesthetic and at first I was thrilled because I could mute the really terrible music and just walk around a windy autumn park and listen to the breeze and check out all the cool autumn decorations.”
“Amazing graphics for a $1 game!”
“The graphics are decent; however, there is very little difference between the highest and lowest graphical settings.”
“I also found the controls jittery, and there is no way that I could see to adjust mouse sensitivity or fine-tune graphics.”
