The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users finding them horrendous and calling for refunds, while others appreciate the "Virtua Fighter/racing" style but suggest improvements. Critics highlight a lack of environmental effects and animation, which detracts from the overall experience, and recommend enhancing color vibrancy, especially in VR settings.
“- 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 up the color content since in VR they tend to look a little too bland.”
“- Lack of environment effects: keep going with the Virtua graphics stuff, but add basic birds, squirrels, anything to make the course feel more alive.”
“Graphics is horrendous... I want a refund.”
“Lack of environmental effects: keep going with the Virtua graphics style, but add basic birds, squirrels, anything to make the course feel more alive.”
“That volcano should be spewing out something; in my humble opinion, animation is king when using basic graphics.”

The gameplay features a unique mechanic requiring players to pull the trigger to 'activate their club,' which may take some time to master but ultimately enhances the experience. Players appreciate the ability to refine their swing mechanics, leading to a satisfying sense of achievement when executing successful shots, mirroring the fulfillment found in real golf.
“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.”
“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.”
