Dinsun Review
Par 3 Golf is a frustratingly average experience. The physics are actually quite good—the ball reacts to the green and wind exactly how you’d expect it to in real life. But the presentation is just so dated. The trees look like cardboard cutouts and the water looks like a static blue texture from 1998.
I like that it focuses on the short game; it makes for much quicker sessions than a full 18-hole simulator. However, there’s no career mode, no customization that matters, and no real sense of progression. You play a hole, you get a score, you repeat. It’s a functional simulation that lacks the 'hook' to keep you coming back for more than a few days.
