Boy, this game needs some work. I think it has potential for being a good VR golf game but some things need to be fixed/added. I've only played one round of golf so far but here are my initial observations. 1. When you tee off or hit any shot for that matter, there is no distance indicator to tell you how far you've hit the ball or how far the ball is traveling while in mid air. 2. When the ball lands, there is no indicator to tell you how far the ball went or how far the distance is to the hole. 3. The holes do not have a yardage inicator, just the par so you don't know if your par 4 is 320 yards or 400 yards long. 4. In options/settings I have YARDAGE and not meters selected but meters is on the scoreboard 5. There is an attractive, skinny, tall (too tall actually) girl standing off to your right for every shot. She just stands there. Doesn't talk, give advice, move or help whatsoever. If she is there, give her a purpose other than blinking her eyes. 6. The puttings seems to b...

A lot of fun and shows a lot of promise. The swing physics seem more forgiving than Gofl Club VR, particularly in the left-right direction. I would describe it as more "arcade-y" which can definitely be a good thing. I really liked how it would automatically select the most adequate club when placing you by the ball. I found myself finishing holes very quickly because of this, rarely changing clubs from what it selected. I did have to turn off the ball follow-cam though, as it can be a bit jarring, thankfully there is a setting for it. The 2 courses currently included are well designed and the graphics are surprisingly good. I'm excited to see future courses. If you want a quick, relaxing round of arcade golf VR Golf Online is an excellent choice. If I was wanting to actually focus on my swing and try to improve it I would play Golf Club VR. It's good to finally have choices!
As an avid golfer I found this game to be fun. Pretty good immersion for the VR. The biggest drawbacks have been listed by others before me. There is no understanding of yardage, no understanding of 'feeling'. That aside, if you go in to it to have fun, I think this game accomplishes it. While on sale at 14 bucks, I think it is a pretty good deal and offers enough content to make it worth it. Looking forward to more courses and refinement of the overal play style of the game. Good job Devs!
1. Looks like real golf. 2. little bit hard if you don't know about golf 3. no sickness, enough contents 4. with friends, it will be another battleground. http://www.vrn.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=5029
I recommend this only because it just came out and the bugs it has should be easlily fixed. It runs fine but the main problem is being unable to set up your position to hit the ball. No mater how I start the game and where I stand, the ball is always placed in the same position to Tee off. So I cannot swing or stand correctly because the ball is always against my computer desk when I need it farther out in the play area. This is just one of the frustrating fixes that must be dealt with. Another fix is putting, there seems to be no aiming adjustment on the green, I can turn the putter in the direction I want the ball to go, but when I hit it the ball goes straight for the cup and misses. The ball does not go in the direction I have the putter turned, even turned at a 45 degree angle the ball hits straight for the cup and It has the most unrealistic putting sound I have ever heard. Still if they get these things fixed and improve fairway aiming, this game will get much better. I...
This is a pretty fun game and I would likely make an investment in additional gameplay if I could make the golfer left handed. Maybe I missed it when I went through all the settings, but without the ability to "stand on the wrong side of the ball", this game is a bit of a bust for me. It's a bit awkward trying to golf right handed when you are a lefty. I recommend this game as a good addition to your VR library if you don't have any left handed friends...
nice game except that I have two questions how we know how much yard the ball went ? how we switch to multiplayers mode ?
Enjoyable golf sim. Needs alot more ambiance. More vocals. Needs more of everything to me.I thought this title was still in EA. I will still recommend. Thank you.
Would like the abulity to turn off the music, and the ingame announcer. Graphics are too cartoony, and once i found out that multi player doesntwork despite the symbol leading me to believe otherwise.. i am requesting a refund
Pros: Polished UI and feel to the game Cons: The worst thing about the game is that when you hit, the camera follows the ball which made me quite sick. The devs should consider removing this or defaulting it to being off. It is nice to see where the ball goes, maybe they could move the camera to a stationary position where the ball will end up? The game mechanics are just not there. You can literally hit the ball 90 degrees from where the auto aim is pointed and the ball goes where the auto aim has it lined up to go, the only thing you really effect is the swing speed. After getting the ball in the hole you have an uncanny valley view of your avitar walking, then freezing and dissolving which is a bit odd. The end of the hole guitar music that plays gets very redundant after a couple rounds. All in all this game has potential but needs some fixes.
