Disc Golf VR
Alexander Van Halen
Oculus Quest (Through SideQuest)

In these strange times we are living in I am always on look out on how I can bring the outdoors in, I have found a fun little game based on a little known or played sport of Frisbee Golf.

This is a perfect game for VR the throwing mechanics and tracking work well and the disc reacts to the angle that you release the disc and the energy you use to throw it. In this demo version you have a driving range to mess around with and a 9 hole course.

Back in the 80's and 90's this was introduced and played on golf courses, replacing holes with baskets and this has the appearance of a golf course, fairways and wooded areas lining the sides, as well as water hazards. You are provided with 3 frisbees, one for driving, one for mid range and another for putting. On each course you can put on a headset and be taken on a flyby preview of the hole. Each hole, much like golf has an allocated number of throws to make par, most being between 3 and 4.

Visually the game is colourful with clouds floating overhead, plants swaying in the breeze, graphically it feels like a Nintendo 3D world game.

This is a great addition to the sidequest catalogue, original and fun to play, would benefit from some online multiplayer, would be perfect in REC room.
