Reviews
- Great casual experience that is easy to pick up and play, making it fun for family and friends.
- Offers a mix of standard golf and mini golf, providing a relaxed atmosphere with chill music.
- Improved stability and functionality compared to the first game, with enjoyable full courses and a hint of challenge.
- Controls are poorly designed, making it difficult to position yourself correctly when teleporting to the ball.
- Feels like a rehash of the first game with many of the same issues remaining, leading to a lack of innovation.
- Level design is bland and uninteresting, with a flat aesthetic that makes it hard to judge inclines and overall gameplay.

Gameplay is hindered by CPU-limited frame drops, averaging 52fps on a high-end system, and features monotonous levels lacking engaging mechanics. The flat-shaded style complicates geometry judgment, further detracting from the overall experience.
“The gameplay mechanics are engaging and add depth to the overall experience.”
“The levels offer a variety of challenges that keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.”
“The unique mechanics enhance the gameplay, making it enjoyable and dynamic.”
“CPU-limited frame drops on a 9900k averaging 52fps on most levels, extremely boring levels with none of the crazy mini-golf mechanics. The style makes it difficult to judge geometry as everything is flat shaded.”
“My biggest issue with the game is the mechanics.”

“Ultimately, this feels like a very cheap quest port.”
“It is very clear that the developers had the Oculus Quest in mind, because the environments are mostly dull and lifeless, and in some levels, they look unfinished.”
