The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the nice design and overall aesthetic, while others criticize the low-resolution textures and limited camera angles that hinder gameplay. Although the visuals are considered serviceable for an older title, issues like graphical glitches and a lack of fullscreen mode detract from the experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as decent but could benefit from improvements in resolution and flexibility.
- “The graphics are really nice and although the game is older, it looks gorgeous - the only downer here is that you can't play it in fullscreen mode, only in a window… but I think this is a problem with my high resolution.”
- “The graphics are nicely done, but you don’t have a wide screen option.”
- “It's a simple minigolf putting game rendered in 3D with low poly graphics, using low-res textures, clearly designed for mobile/browser apps.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable, offering a casual and relaxing experience reminiscent of real-life mini golf, with a realistic difficulty curve across various holes. However, players have noted inconsistencies in the putting meter and a lack of unique hole designs, suggesting that improvements in mechanics and camera options could enhance the overall experience. With around 3 hours of playtime and decent replayability, it serves as a fun way to unwind.
- “With around 3 hours of gameplay and a decent replayability factor, it is a great relaxing way to waste a bit of time now and then as you try to master all the levels and get them all under par.”
- “The putting mechanics also include angle shots to putt over hills or obstacles.”
- “I enjoyed this minigolf game; it has a natural gameplay and I feel similar to when I play at the mini golf course uptown with my kids on the weekend. The game has a very similar and realistic difficulty level, requiring 2-4 strokes for the easiest lanes and 4-10 for the others, with a couple of tricky ones taking much more time. I managed to complete the game in 2-3 hours.”
- “The mechanics would be fine if the putting meter was consistent.”
- “This game desperately needs a free camera, a zoom, better mechanics, and sane holes.”
- “The holes themselves are fine but they aren't unique or interesting; they just aren't as noticeably terrible when compared to the gameplay.”

The music in the game is limited to a single track that does not replay until the game is restarted, rendering the separate volume settings largely ineffective. While sound effects are described as satisfactory, the overall musical experience is lacking due to its repetitiveness and inability to adapt to player preferences.
- “It features innovative 3D greens across 6 campaigns with 9 courses each, an advanced physics engine for realistic ball movement, save-game slots for 3 players, a very nice soundtrack, and well-done sound effects.”
- “Music and sound effects sliders.”
- “Sound effects are okay too, but the music consists of a single song, and once it ends, it won't play again until the game is restarted. Therefore, the separate volume settings don't have much purpose.”
- “Even less so because the next time you start the game, you'll hear the music even if it was muted earlier.”
