Sega Master Force magazine expressed reservations about the game's complex parameters and placed particular criticism upon the simplistic audio, commenting that "the graphics and sound are a little disappointing" and that "the course is just one big mass of greenery with the occasional sand pit".[3] Praise was, however, given to the realism and depth of gameplay, along with a comment that it was one of the best sports titles available on the Master System.[3]
