The gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics and realistic disc flight, enhancing the enjoyment of playing.

While the game captures the nuances of disc golf well, some players express concerns about course design and lasting playability.
“I actually go out and play more often now because I enjoy the gameplay so much.”
“Gameplay is awesome, captures a lot of the nuances of real disc golf.”
“The flight mechanics of the discs are pretty accurate to the real world.”
“The putting mechanic is actually laughable at how stupid it is.”
“Gameplay doesn't rely on being heavily technical, so I'm not sure about its lasting playability.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over the introduction of ads in the paid desktop version despite previous assurances of an ad-free experience. While the mobile version is free and ad-supported, many users feel that the additional subscription fee to remove ads on desktop feels like a cash grab, undermining the value of their initial purchase. Overall, the presence of ads and the lack of cross-platform sync for in-game purchases have left players feeling dissatisfied with the monetization approach.
“I get it free on mobile, but I paid for the desktop version to avoid ads. I believe that the paid desktop/mobile version should unlock a mode that allows players to grind for good and fun items, in my humble opinion.”
“It would be nice to have the PC version sync with the mobile version, so that my in-game purchases and progress are shared across both platforms.”
“Ads have been added to this game despite many of us paying for 'no ads forever and we mean it'.”
“Now there are in-game ads and an additional $7 per month to remove them!”
“This game certainly provides good value, especially with the removal of ads contrasting the mobile version.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the impressive effects and smooth performance, particularly in its cartoonish style. However, there are criticisms regarding sub-par elements and occasional graphical glitches that detract from realism. Overall, while the visuals are enjoyable, they may not appeal to everyone, and the game's reliance on a specific art style raises questions about its long-term appeal.
“Best graphics, best effects.”
“Fun courses and great graphics.”
“Nice cartoonish graphics.”
“Graphics are sub-par.”
“Multiplayer is just a shared scorecard; you can't see other discs or chat, and you can't change anything (volume, graphics, etc.) until you finish a mandatory tutorial, which consists of multiple holes of slow, bland attempts at humor.”

“The discs collect incredibly slowly and it's so grindy.”
“A bit grindy because it's a mobile game that was converted.”
