The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of ads, including mandatory unskippable video ads that disrupt gameplay. While some players appreciate the option to earn in-game rewards through watching ads, many express frustration over the lack of a paid option to remove ads entirely, leading to a decline in enjoyment and, ultimately, uninstallation of the game. Overall, the shift towards aggressive ad placement has overshadowed the game's initial appeal, with many players feeling that it has become a cash grab rather than a fun experience.

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring enjoyable mechanics and a unique golf-themed solitaire experience, with generous free-to-play elements and minimal intrusive ads.

Despite these issues, players find the game fun and accessible without mandatory purchases.

- “Especially as the free-to-play mechanics are generous at best, or inoffensive at worst.”
- “Just to be clear, this is a game of solitaire with a golf theme, not a solo play golf game with solitaire-based card mechanics.”

The game's story is described as typical for solitaire titles, with a basic narrative that accompanies gameplay.

- “There is a storyline that goes along with the game.”
- “I also like the goofer story and the mini games daily.”
- “However, it's the same story as other solitaire games; it doesn't matter how well you play, the last 5 to 10 cards will never help you.”
- “Ok, so it randomly tries to download things to my phone without permission when I'm playing the game, and also the daily quests randomly disappear when they were there a minute ago. You finish the challenge and get no reward. I thought this was a fun app, but not now because they are trying to add spam to your phone and also aren't giving the rewards. Fix it or I'll report this app as spam!”
