The gameplay of this disc golf VR game is noted for its superior mechanics compared to other VR titles in the genre, though it struggles with translating real-life throwing techniques effectively. While some players find it enjoyable and engaging, others experience frustration, particularly with the backhand throwing mechanic.

- “Firstly, I'd like to say that this game has the best gameplay for a disc golf VR game that I've played.”
- “The gameplay being so fun led me to trying to play this game many times, always leading to frustration.”
- “It's just a mobile game port... honestly, gameplay is better on phone than VR. I wouldn't purchase this.”

- “They also had problems with the backhand mechanic (so most of us used the forehand), but just a friendly heads up in case you are a fan/player of the sport.”
