The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users expressing disappointment and calling them "horrendous," while others appreciate the unique "Virtua Fighter/racing" style. Suggestions for improvement include adding environmental effects and enhancing color vibrancy, particularly for VR experiences, to create a more immersive and lively atmosphere.
“I like the 'Virtua Fighter/racing type of graphics; this should help it stand out from the upcoming competition.”
“Graphics are decent, but I would increase the color content since in VR they tend to look a little too bland.”
“The lack of environmental effects is noticeable; adding basic elements like birds or squirrels would make the course feel more alive.”
“Graphics are horrendous... I want a refund.”
“Lack of environmental effects: keep going with the Virtua graphics style, but add basic elements like birds or squirrels to make the course feel more alive.”
“That volcano should be spewing out something; in my opinion, animation is king when using basic graphics.”

The gameplay features a unique mechanic requiring players to activate their club by pulling the trigger, which may take some time to master. This aspect enhances the experience by allowing players to refine their swing mechanics, leading to a satisfying sense of achievement when successfully executing shots.
“That's where the fulfillment and enjoyment of real golf comes from: being able to tinker with the mechanics of your swing over and over again, and the gratification that comes with really nailing a shot and knowing that your swing was the reason why.”
“There is a mechanic where you need to pull the trigger to 'activate your club' to stop you from hitting the ball accidentally, and it took me a couple of holes to get into the habit.”
“The gameplay feels clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to enjoy the experience.”
“The controls are overly complicated, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
