The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players finding it annoying and reminiscent of low-quality 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 music toggle frustrates others, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the music is seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing the game's aesthetic appeal.
“The music reminds me of old school The Sims.”
“A great addition is the nighttime play, great music.”
“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. 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 stability of the mini golf course is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and poor design that detract from the overall experience.
“That alone was worth $1 if it wouldn't have been coupled with the most frustrating, poorly designed, physics-defying, buggy, glitchy, backwards excuse for a mini golf course imaginable.”
