Great vid boys. Been playing this game for months and in order to make putting and chipping more realistic change the greens to slow and the power of your chipper and putter to 50% in the game. Much more realistic

[MrDjslav]

The putting is really great. Also very underrated...being able to play with friends across the country. My brother and I have our phone calls while playing golf now. Coast to coast, so cool.

Just a reminder that in your practice shots, you were hitting them further than real life because you're up on a platfom. You're not level with the ground.

Watched this video....went immediately to buy 2 units for my husband and me plus 2 club attachments. Have been playing Golf+ every night since. We love playing golf outside of course, but living in Canada, it is not always possible in winter months. You can set the "power" on your clubs to make it closer to your real swing. this VR game. So fun.

If Golf+ and Eleven Table Tennis were the only two apps available for the Quest 2, it would still be worth the purchase price.

I love seeing VR make it to other types of channels. Great video guys!

Honestly if you consider that games like this are just the start, you can see mostly that there's a ton of potential. These are all still, relatively speaking, minor projects and games and the tech is only now becoming available (and worth it) to mainstream consumers. If you'd get an AAA golfing game in like 5 years, on hardware from that time... it still wouldn't be like real life, but it'd be more than cool enough to have golf fans actually playing it when they can't get out on the course for whatever reason. And that's absolutely awesome. IMHO this is already more than worth it, of course. But as you said: this is very much a game, not a simulator. But can a realistic golfing sim be done in VR? Oh yes, very much so. Same goes for games like table tennis, badminton etc as they're fairly easy to mimic with controller addons and haptic feedback. Plus the simulation isn't *too* complex.

I'm not a golfer. I used to go to driving ranges with friends to mess around and been to top golf a couple times. This game is so much fun. Also now it has a media player so you can play what ever music you want. Lots of fun even if you aren't a huge golfer

[MrTasselhof]

There are so many other options out there for golf club adapters. The dead eye at $90 is double the price of better tracking options like RM Designs and SOSTech around $50. There are also off-hand only adapters like MrTass and VirtualPrintality for $15 to $25.

The furthest I’ve been able to drive (carry distance) was 348yds, rolled to 360. I find this game so amazing due to the fact that club distances vary with swing speed, club face rotation, and multiple other variables that come with playing non-virtual golf. This game has taught me the first steps of how to start controlling every aspect of my game. (Started to learn how to control when I would like to hit fades/draws, as well as learning to add distance to shots while keeping my shot arc less vertical but rather more horizontal)The biggest challenge will be taking what I’m learning through this game, and applying it on an actual course/driving range. Nonetheless, my very favorite purchase on my Quest 2 and I can always look forward to getting in a round or 2 whether it’s rain, sleet, or shine!

[targetefx]

Great video! I need to order one. I think the reason your getting a little more distance is because they probably calibrated the distance to those holding the controller. You're probably getting much more velocity due to that awesome golf grip. Love the fact that you can move your power to compensate.

[grandgnd]

Definitely on Novice mode, that's why you got so much help with your shots.
❤this game!!

[RJDyer]

I loved it for a day then had to give it up because it screws up swing tempo on the actual golf course after swinging that light controller so many times. Definitely a fun game though and a great option for scratching the itch in winter/off season.

[bretts]

Really solid game. With lots of other stuff to do in there. Adding online and playing with other people is takes it to the next level

[ralphgiofre]

Guys, I've been researching the Meta Quest 2 for about two weeks, on the verge of pulling the trigger. You're video and reactions have put me over the edge. Love your honest reactions and opinions!! The Deadeye golf grip is a must!! Kudos gentlemen, you've got a new subscriber!! Cheers!!

[thesmokingrooster]

I have one of these clubs, it also comes in handy with the pro-fishing vr game!!! feels like a reel fishing rod when you pull in a bass or a yellow fin tuna!! Cheers!!!

[westcoast]

Actual golfer here, i go in real life 4-5 days out of the week, also have an active membership. That said, golf plus is fucking amazing. I love it, even tho i golf during the day, before i go to bed i play a round or two on the quest 2. I love it, super realistic and can even help you improve your slice/hook in your swing.

[evertongrant]

I also bought the quest 2 and the first game I bought was the golf+ and found it amazing. You need to know that you can adjust the settings as you get better or worst, but you start from amateur to pro, but for the price it a good job done. I like the app

[jdsguam]

I'm 67 yrs old and haven't played real golf in over 10 years. I am sold on this game! It's fantastic. For more fun, Walkabout Mini Golf is a must have as well.

[nwmike]

I've had my Quest 2 headset since 2020, a year before full course golf was available. The first 2 games I bought were Top Golf (now labeled Golf+) and Walkabout Mini-Golf (fun for all). It was a full year before full course golf was released and in the 5 months since there have been great improvements and updates made, and more courses and improvements will continue. There is another golf game worth owning (and reviewing) Golf 5 eClub for only $20. It has better resolution than Golf+ and I prefer it's multiplayer mode. It's more like real golf if the HPC (High Precision) setting box is checked, and this setting includes launch monitor info! There's also a golf commentator and audience sounds that can be turned off, and other settings available. One big difference is you have to choose your own club for each shot like in real golf. I like both games a lot, I play them both often, both are worth the price, and there are pros and cons to both. This is just the start for in-home VR golf and it's wonderful for those of us who live in northern climates, and fun to chat with other golfers while playing a round. It's only going to get better in the years to come, and very affordable for the average person. Thanks for the review, keep them coming!
