The game features beautiful graphics and well-rendered courses, providing a visually appealing experience.
It's a free-to-play game with no intrusive ads or microtransactions, allowing players to enjoy the core experience without financial pressure.
The 3-click swing mechanic offers a nostalgic feel for fans of the original Links series, and some players find it challenging yet rewarding once mastered.

The swing meter is excessively fast, making it nearly impossible for players to achieve accurate shots, leading to frustration.
The game lacks essential features such as a player avatar, career mode, and AI opponents, resulting in a limited and less engaging experience.
The installation process is cumbersome, requiring account creation and login for every session, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration; while the ball mechanics and realism are praised, many users find the swing mechanics difficult to master, especially on certain devices. The game features a classic three-click swing mechanic reminiscent of older golf titles, but players suggest improvements such as better navigation, camera angles, and in-game tutorials to enhance the experience. Overall, the gameplay is seen as accessible yet challenging, with potential for improvement.
- “Ball mechanics and realism of bounce and spin is super enjoyable, very much similar to a real golf simulator.”
- “It plays like the classic links games with the three-click swing mechanic, and it's a pretty decent little sim.”
- “Just turn off all the assists such as mulligans, auto-putting, putt guideline, etc., and you find yourself a game with accessible yet challenging gameplay.”
- “The swing mechanics are unusable on my laptop.”
- “If this game had the swing mechanics of Golf Club 2019 and better navigation/cameras for approach shots, this could be a very good game.”
- “I would love some sort of in-game tutorial, or at least tooltips, to help a person new to the game grasp the mechanics.”

The game features a monetization model that is largely free of intrusive ads and microtransactions, relying instead on optional DLC courses for revenue. Players appreciate the absence of pop-ups and pay-to-win mechanics, making for a more enjoyable experience. However, some users note the lack of certain features, like a solo career mode and a golfer avatar, which may be tied to its monetization strategy.
- “The game is free and has no BS microtransactions at all.”
- “I don't play many free games because they almost always have annoying pop-ups, ads, and are constantly trying to get into my wallet.”
- “Only negatives I have with the game are no solo career mode, no visible golfer avatar, and no course creator (which is a bit understandable considering the monetization for the game relies purely on additional DLC courses).”
- “This is far closer to WGT as a title, but hopefully without the pay-to-win club microtransactions and such.”

- “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during gameplay.”

Users report significant stability issues, including poor execution of swings that are affected by frame rate glitches, making gameplay difficult. Additionally, there are instances of video screen freezes that require a complete shutdown of the machine, which were not experienced in previous versions of the game.
- “I don't mind three-point swings, but the one in this game is done really poorly - you always go through a full range of motion, and the backswing is far too quick on drives and long irons to the point where it's almost impossible to play, especially when the frame rate glitches slightly during the backswing.”
- “Video screen freezes requiring me to shut down the machine. I may need to change my settings, but I didn't have this problem with 2K21 or Perfect Golf.”
