The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing its outdated mechanics, poor graphics, and lack of essential features, while others appreciate its charm and fun multiplayer experience. Overall, the controls can feel wonky and the game is described as rough around the edges, suggesting that improvements are needed for a better experience.
“Stands out with its own charm both aesthetically and mechanically, but still feels rough around the edges.”
“One of the ugliest games I've ever played, but the gameplay is quite nice.”
“Gameplay is so much fun... multiplayer is great, see you on the course.”
“Looks like it's made in the early 90s; the mechanics are legitimately frustrating.”
“The only FAQ you should have is how to change screen settings. You can't even create a proper aiming system or implement basic mechanics like indicated wind. The graphics are terrible, and this is the most worthless golf game I have ever experienced in my life. It's awful, really.”
“Controls can be wonky and the mechanics are a little dated, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as outdated and reminiscent of the PS2 era, particularly for a mobile port. While some appreciate the nostalgic charm and aesthetic, others find the visuals lacking and in need of significant updates to improve the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as a major drawback, detracting from the game's potential.
“Stands out with its own charm both aesthetically and mechanically, but still feels rough around the edges.”
“Controls can be wonky and mechanics are a little dated but the atmosphere, music, and aesthetic can be charming.”
“Love it, such an early 2000s aesthetic vibe.”
“And by the way, the only FAQ you should have is how the hell do we change screen settings. You can't even make a proper aim system, a proper grass mechanic, or indicated wind. Your graphics are terrible, and factually, this is the most worthless golf game I have ever experienced in my life. Awful, really.”
“Maybe once there are updates, if any, that fix bugs, bad mechanics, and maybe a graphical upgrade, it would be great.”
“Not enough against it for the thumbs down, but the shot gauge is really unoriginal and cliché, while the graphics are really dated, being on par with the PS2 era (it's a mobile port, it seems).”
