The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of fun and immersion, with issues such as poor ball trajectory mechanics that do not account for wind or curve, leading to a repetitive experience. While some users see potential in the game, they note that it is hindered by numerous bugs and gameplay flaws that detract from overall enjoyment.
“I bought this game and it was alright gameplay-wise, but there were tons and tons of bugs when playing.”
“The gameplay is okay.”
“I was so excited to find a game like SimGolf that I jumped at this and bought it without reading reviews or watching gameplay videos, and I regret it.”
“Playing the holes you made is also not fun; the line that shows your ball's trajectory doesn't change with the wind or when you add curve to the ball. The curve mechanics are also poor; they feel way too strong, which makes playing the hole a lot more annoying since you are almost always just hitting the ball straight.”
“Overall, this game has huge potential, but isn't quite there gameplay or immersion-wise.”
