The graphics in the game are generally described as decent, with some users appreciating the solid visuals and ambiance, particularly in a mini golf context. However, there are notable concerns regarding optimization, with reports of frame rate drops and graphical glitches affecting gameplay. Overall, while the graphics are satisfactory for a free game, they could benefit from further refinement and settings options.
“Very enjoyable mini golf game with simple graphics and pretty good ball physics.”
“While this is mostly pretty straightforward for VR mini golf, it feels good and the graphics and ambiance are solid.”
“Great graphics and a lot of holes set up similar to what you'd see at a real mini putt place and then some.”
“I still feel frustrated that this game doesn't have the graphics settings yet.”
“Keeping the default graphics makes the game slow, the frame rate goes low by 10 or lower, and it's always blinking black on the VR's display.”
“On the 18th hole, there was some weird graphical issue where the ball did some strange levitation and behaved as though some imaginary trap/contraption was in the middle of the hole (tornado maybe?), but it did not affect the actual hole gameplay.”

The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many users finding it annoying, bland, and reminiscent of a church setting. While some appreciate the ability to customize the music, the overall consensus is that it lacks quality and fails to enhance the gaming experience. A few users noted the potential for better music options, suggesting the inclusion of copyright-free tracks or contributions from independent artists.
“There is tons of copyright-free music that doesn't suck, and thousands of good bands that would let you use their music with the proper credit.”
“The environment really is beautiful with great music.”
“You can also change the color of your golf ball and the music as well.”
“The music is really annoying; the whole intro bit is kind of confusing, and the text on the signs can be hard to read.”
“The music is very bland and makes me feel like I'm going to church.”
“The constant loud piano music makes it feel like you're playing in a Charlie Brown special.”
