The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of fun and immersion, primarily due to numerous bugs and poor mechanics, such as an unresponsive trajectory line that fails to account for wind or ball curvature. While some users see potential in the game, they feel it falls short of expectations, often resulting in a frustrating experience. Overall, the gameplay is described as merely "okay," with significant room for improvement.
“Overall, this game has huge potential, but isn't quite there gameplay or immersion wise.”
“The gameplay is ok.”
“I bought this game and it was alright gameplay wise but there were tons and tons of bugs when playing.”
“I was so excited to find a game like SimGolf that I jumped at this and bought 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.”
