Rock Paper Shotgun found the concept of the game appealing, while criticizing parts of the execution, such as a game design which led to excess grinding.[13] Nintendo World Report had more positive sentiment, but also noted that the game featured significant grinding.[2] RPGamer and Siliconera criticized the lack of elevation as a mechanic on the golf courses.[1] However RPGamer did find some positive sentiment in the golf cart mechanic.[3] In their review, RPGfan notes the story was not well developed, but did find that the game was good for a short and casual playthrough.[12]
