    It was good enough for me to purchase a golf club stick for my controller which is a game changer
  • @drizzify7850
    I usually only use my Quest 3 for Table Tennis so this will definitely add another use for my Quest. This looks like a blast.
  • @toututu2993
    VR is absolutely crazy and it hold massive potentials that have yet to show
  • @jamesleegte5753
    The physics in golf +, walkabout mini golf and eleven table tennis are mind blowingly amazing! I also hook up my vr headsets to my pc and the driving / racing sims are also completely mind blowing. I never get bored or driving a Cadillac around Daytona at night time! I love VR!
  • @JFlogerzi
    My deadeye DriVR Elite - Adjustable VR Weighted Golf Club came in today and I get to test it out with Golf + tonight. Super excited.
  • @stevewalker9888
    Thank you for the review. I’ve been toying with the golf + for my Q3. And the discount code was a sign to buy it. Thank you for the content and hope to see you in there. 👍

    Great video! I have3 been a Quest owner since the Quest1 days and a Golf+ user since it's release. You conveyed the fun of the simulation perfectly! One thing I would add though, you mentioned the weight difference, but you didn't say anything about the controller adaptors like Helloreal and Yezro that have weights that make the controller feel the weight of your clubs. This adds a whole new dimension to the immersion. I also like when you said if you have a slice IRL you will prob. have one in the game. This is true and a testament to how well this game simulates real golf.
  • @aarongarcia2911
    The weight of the club can be replicated almost exactly with the right accessory. Checkout Deadeye's Drivr. They have removable weights in it to get the exact weight of your clubs. Now you're basically at the driving range

    I like to use the Yezro Y13S swing stick for Golf+, with extra weights for the Yezro Y11 (which are compatible with the Y13S). I also run the iPad version of the Skytrak+ range software in my Apple Vision Pro, and hit Sci-Core practice balls (they fly just like Callaway Supersoft Max balls for the short distance the Skytrak+ reuires to extrapolate flight characteristics) into a net in my semi-enclosed carport. This allows me to hit outdoors using a giant virtual screen for the golf sim, without the need for a physical projector and impact screen. Before I got the Apple Vision Pro, I sideloaded the Android version of the Skytrak+ software into the Quest 3. I can also stream the Windows version of Skytrak+, or GSPro, or E6 to either the Apple Vision Pro or the Quest 3 using Moonlight/Sunshine, or Steam Link, or Virtual Desktop (this latter is currently only available for Quest 3, and is coming for AVP later). Adding weights to the swing stick you use with Golf+ eliminates the problem of your actual golf swing altering due to the lighter weight of the swing stick. The Quest 3, the Yezro stick and weights, and the Sci-Core practice balls are available on Amazon, along with a wide variety of practice nets, mats, etc. Open-box Apple Vision Pros can be obtained for a substantial discount from reputable resellers on eBay; I recommend the DIDMETA or Globular Cluster 3rd-party headstraps for use with the Apple Vision Pro, and they're available from Amazon or eBay, too.

    There's also an entire Golf+ Discord server run by the creators of the game.
  • @johnpetrich9745
    Thanks for the review - finally a review from someone who knows what they are talking about. Only downloaded a day ago and already hooked and so is my partner. Thank you for the discount code, much appreciated. We are in Canberra (ACT) Australia and its winter here so great to keep my swing working and love the physics and of course the courses. Looking forward to more great tips from the channel. I hope golf+ adds a Australian Course and we could have a world Gold+ Challenge cup.
  • @theCycleReport
    Thanks for the code - i just got a quest 3 a couple months ago and have been interested in golf+ but 30 is steep if it wasn't good. 15 (accompanied with a solid review) is infinitely more of an instant purchase.
  • @TheChriscrowder
    Does it have a swing coach? I barely know how to hold the club! 😂
  • @freddywayne
    I absolutely love 💕Golf+ on my Meta Quest 3 !!! I use the Yezro grip (90 degree adapter) Y11/Y13S and I have the best headstrap, BOBOVR S3 Pro.
  • @mikemiles3077
    I play a lot of Golf+ as well. I use the DeadEye VR swing stick. You can weight it and it has a decent length. It feels about as heavy as my 7 iron. The only issue I find in relation to real golf is that you don't really know when you hit it fat or thin, at least I don't think it does. The unfortunate thing is the VR swing stick doesn't fit the Quest 2 controller. Great breakdown of the game!
  • @chaosruma
    Give us a 20min review while showing us 3min of footage. Great vid man.
  • @theCycleReport
    Have you played walkabout mini golf? Maybe not as cool but it's shockingly good/robust and the multiplayer is fun as hell
  • @Martin-el5uu
    I really hope Golf+ will come to PCVR some day, the graphics will be fantastic !
  • @RodneyCox-ux8kk
    I absolutely love golf + now that meta is phasing out quest 2 maybe the designers of this game will be able to amp up the graphics a little bit in the quest 3.
