Pros
Pro Simple, but fun
The simple controls are easy to pick up, but hard to master. When you're playing with friends, it's a nice competitive environment with ample originality and thought put into the level design.
Pro Interesting ranges keep players enguaged
From rolling logs, rotating parts of the range, and super-speed convener belts, the more difficult ranges have obstacles which would be virtually impossible in real-world minigolf.
If you want to go even more interesting, you can change your golf balls out for cones, which will roll unpredictably and turns the difficulty up to 11.
Pro Active developers
This game is still extremely early access, but the devs are regularly updating with bug fixes and additional content.
Pro Pass and Play Multiplayer
Pro Intuitive controls
The game works with a single Vive controller that is held much like a real golf club and to play one swings it just like they would a golf club, which makes for easy to understand controls.
Cons
Con Hard to view the range before shooting
Some of the ranges have obstacles which are hard to see before shooting - for example jumps over a streams, drops, or other obstacles. You can zoom out and pan around from your starting position, but you can't preview the range from the top.
Con Non-ergonomic menu
The main menu isn't very intuitive, but it does look nice. After a bit of hunting you can find what you're looking for, but it could certainly be made easier.
Con Short
Currently the game is only 18 holes of golf, though there is a promised level editor in the works.
