The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its realism and smooth mechanics, with many users highlighting the impressive graphics and enjoyable controls. However, there are significant concerns regarding the pay-to-win model, matchmaking issues, and inconsistent mechanics that can frustrate players, particularly in competitive settings. While some find the gameplay simple and addictive, others criticize it for being overly reliant on in-game purchases and plagued by technical glitches.
“I really love this game, keeping the gameplay simple which makes it easier to adapt and play.”
“It is a very interesting and amazing game, and I can say with full confidence that among all golf games, it is the best in terms of graphics and gameplay, and it is much smoother and more realistic.”
“Great gameplay, superb graphics feel etc. very easy to play, highly recommended.”
“You can only succeed at this game if you spend hundreds of pounds; too many ads now. How can anyone compete when put up against players that can hit it hundreds of yards further than yourself? Plus, half the players are computer-controlled and they never lose. Graphics and gameplay are good, but let down by the greed of the developers.”
“Fun, initially, but killed by terrible game mechanics at times. There is tremendous imbalance when one meets a player who's spent a load of money, where you'll have very little chance of competing.”
“The mechanics of this game are beyond broken. I have lost so many matches due to the terrible mechanics.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and crashes that disrupt gameplay and lead to lost matches and in-game currency. While some players have experienced minimal issues, the overwhelming consensus is that the game is plagued by technical problems that detract from the overall enjoyment and functionality. Users express frustration over the lack of responsiveness from developers regarding these ongoing issues, which has led to a decline in their gaming experience.
“Excellent golf game, so far I haven't found any problems, no glitches, never crashed and realistic gameplay, highly recommend.”
“Good game so far, no glitches which is a big tick.”
“Everything works good, no glitches.”
“What is going on with the game? There are so many glitches it isn't funny. I went from 100k to 20 in the space of 3 days. There are bumps that appear out of nowhere, sending my balls out of bounds. I can't even hit a perfect drive; every time I have to hit far right to keep it straight. Can you please give some feedback? Even the videos are unavailable, and there is this stupid 'press to play' video that freezes the game, forcing me to restart every time.”
“A decent game in terms of graphics and design, but you can't play without experiencing glitches that essentially force you to lose matches.”
“This game has too many glitches and bugs. I am not even sure if they are actually bugs or intended bugs to make you lose at certain times. One of the bugs I faced was timing out when I clearly made the shot well within time, resulting in my opponent winning. Another bug would be 'you have lost your connection' when I was clearly connected to high-speed Wi-Fi, again resulting in my opponent winning.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and frustrating, often requiring long hours to achieve minimal progress, especially in competitive matches. Many reviews suggest that the game encourages spending money to bypass the grind, as free players may face significant challenges and unfavorable matchmaking.
