What GOLF+ is

GOLF+ is a virtual reality golf game that operates as its own brand. Its product pages describe it as the most-played golf game in VR, and the store page states that GOLF+ is the official PGA TOUR virtual reality golf game and is available exclusively on Meta Quest. The Meta Quest listing carries GolfScope Inc. in the publisher field and Golf Scope Inc. in the developer field of the same page.

The brand runs its own web presence rather than sitting inside a larger site: a store selling headsets, club attachments and game keys, a blog, community pages, leaderboards and a tournament page. Its home page names three golf bodies as official partners: the PGA TOUR, the PGA of America and The R&A. The same store sells weighted club attachments for Quest controllers and headset bundles with a game key.

What the brand says about its scale

GOLF+ publishes its own figures. Its home page and its store guide both state more than two million players worldwide, more than four billion swings taken in VR, more than forty world-famous courses, and more than fifty thousand five-star reviews. The store's course list names St Andrews, Pinehurst and TPC Sawgrass; the home page lists TPC Sawgrass and the two Torrey Pines courses with hole counts and par.

Older figures survive in the December 2022 press release about the PGA TOUR deal, which counted hundreds of thousands of golfers and more than six million rounds played in under a year since launch, with the game priced at $29.99 on the Meta Quest 2 at that point. The same release records that the standard game then included original course designs, a Topgolf mode and a mini golf experience called Pro Putt.

How it is sold

The base game includes three original course designs. The store guide states that the base version has three courses and that GOLF+ Pass opens all forty-plus VR courses and tournaments, while the store's question page adds that the remaining courses can also be purchased individually. The base game is bought through the Meta Quest store, where the listing can be added to a wishlist and declares a Teen rating with in-game purchases.

Pass pricing appears in two forms on the brand's own pages. The store guide and the putting page give a seven-day free trial started inside the game followed by $49.99 for a first year and $99.99 per year after that, while the older question page lists $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. The store also sells a game key bundled with a headset and says keys redeem in the Meta Quest store.

Modes and platforms

GOLF+ is a Meta Quest title, and its store listing shows a 4.8 rating from about 52,000 ratings, filed under sports, hangout and simulation with a Teen rating and in-game purchases. Full-swing VR rounds are the core mode, and the brand added a mixed-reality putting mode that uses a real putter and a real ball with a Quest 3 or 3S and a Pass subscription.

The site also describes a simulator product that is listed there without a release date, built around real clubs, a Quest headset and a launch monitor. A wishlist page links to Steam for a PC VR version alongside the Meta Quest listing, and the putting page states that the putting mode is live for Pass subscribers on Quest 3 and 3S. The product pages stress that the VR and putting modes live inside a single game rather than separate releases.
