The gameplay mechanics of the game have received significant criticism, particularly regarding the throwing and flight mechanics, which many players feel do not accurately reflect real disc golf. The lack of a useful tutorial further complicates the experience, making it difficult for players to enjoy the game as intended. While there are some fun features, such as shot tracking and teleportation, the overall mechanics need substantial improvement to meet player expectations.
“I hope the developer takes the time to improve the physics, because there are a lot of fun game mechanics there, like there's a screen that tracks where your shot landed, and you can either walk to your throw or teleport to it.”
“Well, when you pull your disc right because the mechanics are a little screwy, you can expect a very understable disc, comparable to a lightweight Prodigy F5.”
“The throwing mechanics feel... off.”
“I so desperately wanted to love this game and use it as an outlet to play disc golf during the colder weather, but the mechanics of the game combined with the lack of a useful tutorial make it difficult.”
“At a $20 asking price, you expect the game mechanics to be really solid, and it's just not there yet.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered decent but not exceptional, providing a satisfactory level of immersion without reaching photo-realism. While some users express a desire for more detailed and realistic visuals, the overall aesthetic is deemed adequate for the gameplay experience.
“I'd love to have more detailed and more realistic graphics, but at the same time, it is certainly good enough that it serves the purpose and you feel fine on the track.”
“The visuals aren't photo-realistic, but they are good enough that I feel immersed in the experience.”
“But the physics, graphics, and sound design just aren't on the same level.”
“Graphics are certainly not exceptional, but nice enough that you feel like you're outside on a disc golf track.”
“I am a graphics enthusiast and I'm only kind of happy with the best of the best.”
