Walkabout Mini Golf offers a fun and immersive mini-golf experience with beautifully designed courses and realistic physics.
The game features engaging multiplayer options, allowing up to 8 players to enjoy the game together, and only one person needs to own the DLC for others to play it.
Regular updates and new DLC courses keep the gameplay fresh and exciting, with hidden collectibles and scavenger hunts adding extra layers of fun.

Some players experience issues with the control scheme, particularly the inability to move backwards or use both hands, which can lead to frustration.
There are occasional performance issues and graphical glitches, particularly for users with certain VR headsets like Windows Mixed Reality.
The game lacks a local multiplayer mode where players can pass the headset around, which some players feel limits the social experience.
