Cloudlands VR Minigolf<\/a><\/strong> is loads of fun and a really solid mini-golf experience. Available primarily on Steam VR, it features a combination of pre-made mini golf courses, as well as a fantastic, and easy-to-use course editor. You can even play holes that other players have created. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe controls are intuitive and satisfying and putting in Cloudlands VR Minigolf felt very much like putting in real life. The courses can get a bit outlandish, but never stop being entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still prefer Walkabout Mini Golf, but Cloudlands VR Minigolf is a close second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is VR Golf Realistic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most VR golf games aren’t going to improve your real-life golf game, but they are much better simulations of golf than non-VR golf games. The physics and swing mechanics in Golf+, Golf 5 eClub, Tee Time Golf, and The Golf Club VR were good, and it felt like I was making similar movements to those I would make when swinging a real club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biggest immersion breaker is that you are using a controller and not holding a real club. Using a golf club attachment for my controller made an instant difference in how authentic the experience was, but it didn’t work flawlessly with all titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, VR golf games are still some way short of the experience offered by other home golf simulators, but they cost a fraction of the price, even when you consider the cost of your VR headset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think there is a massive opportunity for improvement on the current selection of VR golf games. I would really like to see a AAA VR golf game for Steam VR headsets, as the offerings here are still a little limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does VR Golf Help You Play Better In Real Life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
VR golf certainly helps me enjoy the experience of golf more often, but I’m not sure that it has resulted in much improvement in my game. The one area where I felt I made a little improvement was in being able to experiment with hitting different types of shots and getting a better feel for how to draw and fade the ball consistently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At present, it’s best to think of VR golf as being largely for entertainment, but it is so much more immersive than playing a non-VR golf game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming VR Golf Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is limited publically available information about upcoming VR golf games, but I am waiting in hope that more titles are announced soon. I would particularly like to see a PGA Tour game incorporate VR, as the prospect of being able to play a wide selection of PGA courses in VR would be fantastic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
