The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its realism and smooth mechanics, with many users highlighting the impressive graphics and enjoyable controls.

- “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.”

- “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.
