They are all a blast to play. I find myself going back to Tourist Trap just for the crazy backward shot off the tee in hole 18. I also love Laser Lair and can't wait for the next evil lair. Walkabout is easily my favorite VR game. Thanks for all the videos you put out about it!
I love the courses where the play meshes with the theme, Atlantis has those gentle rolling waves in the easy mode and the crashing torrents in the hard course, I love the weirdness of Widows and Upside down town, but meow wolf just blew me out of the water
Thank you for your personal ratings and explanations of why. I do enjoy all the courses, but I also have a few that I need to be in a specific state of mind to enjoy. Well done!
Absolutely love these games. I’m 81 and my grandson gave me a Meta Quest 2 for Christmas. I have quite a few of the games such as golf, bowling, Beat Saber but the miniature golf is my favorite. I’ve been adding to my courses and have almost all the ones you mention. My favorites are Quixote, Alfheim, Shangri-La, and Atlantis. Next is Eldorado and Cherry blossom. I don’t own them all yet, but I’m planning too. I get a real kick out of the location of Quixote cause I’m from the Netherlands and it is flat as a pancake but lots of windmills. Love your explanations! Tell me why I can’t find the note on the door of Quioxote where Nan leaves a note on the door😅
It’s hard to find a good channel for a small game like Walkaboutminigolf. So Innerproncess is basically the best Walkaboutminigolf TH-camr! *besides me of course*
Merry Christmas. Love your videos, and all the help they provide to enhance play.😀 Totally recommend getting the Oculus if only to play this game. Absolutely Amazing! Alfheim, Atlantis, and Shangi-La are my favorite worlds to explore and play.
Very enjoyable retrospective. I'll say that on concept alone, the two courses I have no interest in are Upside Town and Laser Lair (on any course, I never like timing shots). Among the rest, the factor that goes a long way towards how much I'll enjoy it is, do I feel like I'm playing the course, or is the course playing me? Journey is a course I instantly tired of because almost every shot feels like it's just putt and pray... just send it on its way and let the random bounces on the rocks determine the outcomes. It's like playing a slot machine; there's no sense that repeated plays will help you "get better" at it. And much as you said, a lot of this comes down to "how much do I want to be in this world?". For me, the places I want to be are Quixote, Zerzura, Cherry Blossom, Atlantis and Seagulls.
Yeah I know what you mean on Journey, but I like playing it just to reach that view at the end. Always take a moment to stand and admire that one. Pleased to see Seagull hitting the top of yours, that course gets a mixed reception
So far i like all courses except Arizona Modern. It is set in the Desert with no appealing graphic layout whatsoever. The shapes of the holes are hard, yet very vanilla in design. If there were a 6 rating, this course would get that from me.
Am I the only one here that loves Upside Town? I've probably played that course the most, the novelty of the gravity mechanics have not worn off at all, and kts always a blast to play
Bought the game and most levels, much thanks to your videos. Thanks for the great content, I love this game allows me who lives alone up a mountain to play with family and randomers across the world.
You were brutal on the Jules Verne courses, man. I love them. As for Widow's Walkabout, I thought the grey scale was brilliant. For whatever reason I always have Young Frankenstein lines running through my head when playing the hard mode. And Tethys is my nemesis. I've got double digit negative scores pretty much everywhere but that damn thing. For some reason, I'm horrible on that one. Overall, a fair tier list. I hated Upside Town at first, but it's grown on me a bit. I agree with you, it's hard to rank these courses, because all of them bring something to the table. Visually, mechanically, viscerally - there isn't a wasted course in the game. For my part, I can play pretty much any course any time. Upside Town remains near the bottom, and similarly to what you're saying about Sweetopia, the Candy Land vibes, while artistically wonderful, aren't my first preference. Still, I'm down for Upside Town or Sweetopia any time. The rest of the courses I'd have a hell of a time ranking.
Because of you and your channel I have all the clubs, and golf balls. Thank you so much for doing the videos!!! I hope I actually get to play the game with you some time. My PlayStation SN is the same as my TH-cam SN
I really agree with only one of your ratings. Alfheim has also 10 Points on my side. But I respect your rating, because I think we look for different things in our ratings. Your content is great. Please keep up the your good work.
I love the way this game is zen, social, and keeps on giving I would bump Bogeys Bonanza to an 8.5 (the back 9 is a solid 9) and drop Seagull stacks to a 7.5 (by the way, your videos are great!)
Love your list! My 10s (the Courses I am always in the mood for): Meow Wolf, Altantis, Myst, Laser Lair, Alfheim 9.5: El Dorado, Quixote Valley 9: Cherry Blossom, 20,000 Leagues, Journey to the Center of the Earth, 8.5: Tourist Trap (it's the nostalgia), Temple of Zerzura, 8: Shangri-La (Stunning course, but those sand traps are the bane of my existence), Original Gothic, Tethys Station, Labyrinth, Widow's Walkabout, 7.5: UpsideTown, Gardens of Babylon, Arizona Modern, & Bogey's Bonanza (I feel hot, sticky, and dirty when I play those AM & BB- VR feels real sometimes) 7: Sweetopia (my stomach churns and my teeth rot each time I am in there, but the holes are fun) & Seagull Stacks (so much anxiety on that night course - heights + icy/snowy, rocky steps - it's an LNI claim waiting to happen)
Just subbed to your channel and enjoying it a lot. This is a great video as well for us Walkabout Mini Golf enthusiasts. One positive and constructive criticism is the music choice. Extremely repetitive with the annoying voices every few seconds. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the courses and it was distracting. Just food for thought. Keep up the good work! 👍
@InnerPrincessVR Yes, for sure. I have been watching lots of your videos for a few days now for tips and tricks and they are all great. The music is actually a nice touch. Only that one track seemed repetitive and almost annoying but I might be in the minority on that and didn't bug anyone else lol. Cheers and thanks again!
Great video as usual! Thanks for taking the time to do this exercise. I have to admit, ranking them is very difficult. Each one has things I love and some things I wish were different. But overall, it's a great variety of courses and I can't wait to see what comes out next. How about the putters? Which one is your favorite?
You're right, there really isn't a "bad" course in the game and I'd enjoy popping into a match most times with just about any course. I also agree with your top picks; love those courses!
Personally I found the upside downtown to be by far the worse. Good visually, but having to crane and twist your neck with the course on the ceiling was just a bad design choice. I think he's being very generous by making the scale only go as low as 7.5.
I think that as a set of logical puzzles it’s quite unique in its challenge and complexity. I like having to figure the angles out and it’s also a fun one to play with new people / family, so for me it’s defo still worth at least a 7.5
@@InnerPrincessVR Each to their own! You've obviously got a well earned relationship with the developers, but personally I'd have started the scale at 3 or 4. More than a few lacklustre courses. Never really disastrous (except maybe the crash laden Myst one) but we broadly agreed that up until the evil lair (brilliant return to form) it felt like they where phoning it in somewhat. Me and friends still buy them as a matter of course (pun intended!) as we think it's important to support the studio.
craning the neck is a skill issue. perpetual flying mode fixes a lot of physical awkwardness and the rest is about having the patience to learn the shots@@stuartburns8657
I bought every dlc today and after going through upside town with a friend and we both loved it. I would personally give it a 10. I also played widows today and I found alright 8.5 at best. Finally I played laser lair and loved it. I like the hard better suprisingly. Worth it and I haven’t touched most of them, easy course is a 9 hard is a 10.
I feel that Alfheim blew it when they didn’t incorporate the forest elevators into the game. I think there were great opportunities to really expand the game play. Atlantis, for me, is an 11 with its tremendous amount of fish swimming around in so many different places. The whale and stingrays swimming gracefully makes it a great place to hang after completing the round.
As an environment Atlantis is among the top (though I'm not as keen on the night version), but I feel so engulfed in the environment, that I never end up paying much attention to the golf!
Interesting to hear your thoughts. I'd have Sweetopia, Babylon, Arizona and Cherry Blossom higher, with Alfheim, Quixote Valley and Meow Wolf lower. Let's see what the next three years bring.
The main thing I don't like about Sweetopia is its easy course soundtrack. I love every other course's soundtrack but that looping bubblegum elevator music is just too much. Hard Sweetopia's soundtrack is fine though. Hard for me to rank the rest. I think yours is pretty spot on. I'd put Journey and Widows a few levels higher and maybe move Quixote down one level.
Would be great if i could play the dlc or night courses in game with others who have them. The only option to find people in game is quick play and it always seems to pick a standard easy course, even if both players have (and would prefer to play) night mode or a dlc course. Its a bizarre oversight that still hasnt been addressed, years on. I hate it because the new courses look awesome but ive decided to stop buying until they add options to play dlc courses online without needing to add quest friends or post on discord.
A really great list! I probably haven't played these courses as much as you, but for me my 10/10 courses are Quixote Valley, Labrynth, Atlantis, and Temple at Zerzura. I haven't had a chance to play the courses after journey to the center of the earth though. Meow Wolf looks fantastic.
Great video of a wonderful game. I very much agree with your ratings, except for Quixote Valley. In my humble opinion, the holes don't offer much variety, there aren't many opportunities for hole-in-ones, and you end up playing conservatively. Visually, it's stunning, of course, but in terms of gameplay itself, my score would be an 8. And of course, congrats for your great channel.
About mid-last year, I remember playing quixote valley with my friends, and we sat down looking at the view for like an hour to an hour and a half instead of actually playing the mini golf
There are no Fs but I'd still rate Arizona as a 5. That, and Myst are the only 2 I only finished, because I wanted the balls, and I didn't even do the Hard on Arizona, just the Fox Hunt.Loved Laser Lair, Upside Town, and the Halloween Map.The 20,000 Leagues under the sea was also a blast.
Nice video. Agree with almost all of them. I would put Laser Lair and Arizona Modern further down to 8.5, and instead pull up El Dorado, Myst and Journey to the Center of the Earth more up to 9 and have Labyrinth on 9.5.
Awesome video. Though I don't agree with all the rankings having never thought about it, I can't disagree with any of your reasoning. Keep up the great work. Love your videos.
Great vid! I just picked up my Quest 3 (my first VR headset) and gave this game a try last night. Blown away by the visuals and mechanics of the game. Can't wait to try all these out! Is it worth getting a golf grip controller holder?
Great video, list, and explanations! I think the scores are within .5 of where mine would be except for maybe Bogey’s. Aesthetically the easy course is lacking, but the replay ability and variance of scores for each round moves it up to an 8.5 for me.
I can’t disagree with you there, I know that Bogeys is popular. On reflection it was released around a time I was getting a little burned out with the game, it is very well designed and the hole variety is huge
My personal rankings (based on gameplay and scenery) 1. Labyrinth (Best Easy Map) 2. 20,000 Leagues 3. Journey to the center of the earth 4. Atlantis (Best hard map) 5. Laser Lair 6. Alfheim 7. Widows Walkabout 8. Meow Wolf 9. El Dorado 10. Gardens Of Babylon 11. Bogey's Bonanza 12. Myst 13. Temple At Zerzura 14. Shangri-La 15. Original Gothic 16. Arizona Modern 17. Tourist Trap 18. Cherry Blossom 19. Sweetopia 20. Quixote Valley 21. Upside Town 22. Tethys Station 23. Seagull Stacks PS: love ur vids they help me out and i love the reviews on the maps :)
We have such varying tastes in courses, and I love that people have such individual preferences and that there's still plenty for all to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your list!
@@InnerPrincessVR anytime, love ur vids, another reason why I think I may have different opinions among the community is because I’m only 15 and I know this game has a lot of older people playing it
The black and white on Widow’s was such a stupid idea. The developer should ask themselves, “If we make this feature optional, would anyone ever turn it on?” If the answer is “no,” it’s a bad idea.
Yeah I’m increasingly finding out I may be alone I’m not rating that one as high, I think on reflection I haven’t played it enough since release to rank it properly
I have every course as well. Play with my friends every Saturday. Meow Wolf is the only one where I felt like getting a refund. Absolutely AWFUL. Meow Wolf and UpsideDown Town are the only ones we all basically refuse to play, Our favorites seem to be Gardens, Quixote and Lazer.
On tethys station you can fly. Point the club up and hold the joystick in the up position, then fly fly away. Flying ability makes this way better than a 7.5
NO NO NO, YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG! :) I love that you’ve done this - another wonderful video, so great re-visiting all the courses that haven’t popped up for me recently. Really must go back to Alfheim …
:) I just knew I'd be wrong more than right putting this video out, but I really enjoyed going back to all the courses and re-evaluating them. But each time I filmed one I though 'no THIS is a top-tier course', which is why I had to bring the baseline up to 7.5, which still feel cruel!
Does this game have multiplayer rooms for strangers? I want the game but I don’t want my game choices to be either alone or alone since no one else I know has a vr headset
Hard for me to vote any down but the top ones for me are Babylon, Atlantis, 20K under the sea, Quixote, Alfheim and (if I'm in the mood) Original Gothic and Meow Wolf.
Good list, agree on the whole but liking Journey and Myst a bit more ...agree regarding Tethys, just not liking that and Sweetopia can be a bit much. Quixote is always great, but Alfheim has grown on me and love the choral music. One key ingredient though is the last hole; im always looking for something awesome to finish on a high and find Alfheim's a bit of a letdown in that respect.
@@InnerPrincessVR might have to take you up on that. I love me some straight walls and an abundance of angles to pick from. The lighting and the sounds are great too, it’s the first course MC included that new brass metal sound and it goes great with the metal banks throughout the sub.
Funnest game out there. We play hard courses every night. Sooo fun! Do u think they will add different scoring methods such as skins or match play? Kinda sucks when u take a big number on one hole and ruin your whole round.
Having a love for ghost towns in the west, Bogeys Bonanza is one of my favorites. Lonely, in the best way. Idk why, but Arizona Modern was lower on my list, I would move that down to an 8/8.5. Need to play Alfheim, Atlantis, the Jules Verne’s courses and Meow Wolf still! Any votes on which one I should get first?
It’s technically a very enticing course to play, and a really well calculated format, but the environment tips it away for me a little the problem with the 7.5 score courses was that in truth I would give them all more than that but the inflation was getting silly when I tried to set the tiers
Yeah that’s understandable, and I know how much you love all these. Qv for me is one of the best hard but the only easy one I skip. What do you think about 80Days? That one’s a 10 for me. maybe we could get a vid like this at the end of each year.@@InnerPrincessVR
Is most of the dlc worth it? I’m tempted to buy all but unsure if I will like lots of them. There’s always usually lots of dlc for games courses, that are straight up, not good.
Here are my ratings Tourist trap-9 so fun to play whenever, never annoying or boring other than the hard course. Cherry blossom-8 pretty fun, hard course is annoying though. Seagull stacks-8.5 really fun and looks great, can get frustrating on certain holes though Arizona modern-8.5 super fun, easy course is a blast, hard course holds it back from being a 10 though. Original gothic-9.5 the hard course is SO good, easy course is great too. Tethys station-1 I dread playing this course, it is in my opinion absolutely unbearable to play and I hate it with a passion, easily the 2 worst courses in the entire game, just awful. Bogey’s bonanza-8 pretty fun and looks good, kind of forgettable though, I almost forgot to even rate it. Quixote valley-9.5 amazing decoration and super fun for the entire thing. Sweetopia-8 I used to hate this course but the more I play, the more I start liking it, love the decoration. Upside town-8.5 this gets way too much hate, I love the decoration, but the course can sometimes be annoying. Alfheim-7.5 amazing decoration, but I don’t like the holes very much, it is really annoying. Widow’s walkabout-10 absolute masterpiece, amazing decoration, amazing gameplay, just so good. Labyrinth-9.5 I was so obsessed with this when it came out, I must have played it 100 times in like 5 days. Amazing. Myst-4 I do not enjoy this, it is really frustrating and I don’t really like the decoration either. Meow wolf-10 Absolute Perfection, my first play through was easily the most fun I have ever had in vr. Just so good. Gardens of Babylon-8 it is cool, nothing else to say really. Shangri-la-8.5 really cool hard course and pretty fun. El dorado-8 can be really annoying, but the hard course looks so good. Atlantis-9.5 looks amazing, and other than the hard course, is super fun as well. Temple at zerzura-9 looks great and is really fun to play, cool foxhunt too. 20000 leagues under the sea-9.5 amazing decoration, and so fun. Journey to the center of the earth-8.5 really, really good decoration, and pretty fun too. Laser lair-8 can get really frustrating but is fun overall.
Heavily disagree with alfheim being at the top and I think myst and meow wolf should be a 10 ;) but that's OK. We do agree that Tethys Station is at the bottom 😅
You can pick any or use a random course selector. All the hard mode versions are locked until you score below par on the east or collect enough lost balls
Interesting video, BUT 🤔😂 I do agree with most of your ratings, BUT 🤔😂 I do differ on some. I'll start with row 10, I don't agree with Alfheim as a 10 when compared to the other 2 courses. I would also swap Arizona modern with sweetopia. AM is visually unappealing. Finally all the 9.5 courses are way more enjoyable than Alfheim. So I don't understand the logic behind that choice. My top 5 favourite to play in no order of preference are, Shangrila, Cherry Blossom, temple at Z, meow wolf and tourist trap because of its realistic play. But honestly speaking I would rank them 7, 8, 9 & 10 I don't agree that u needed to split them by 7.5, 8.5, 9.5. That's just being over dramatic. I think most of the courses get an 8 or 9 from me. 3 courses get a 10 and 4 courses get a 7. It makes sense that players will disagree on rankings because different things appeal to different players in different ways. For me environment and art is more important than mechanics of how each hole plays. I want it to feel relaxing, playful and adventurous. That's why AM doesn't appeal to me. It's like comparing rice to fried rice 😂 Overall I still enjoyed the video because it makes u think deeply about each course and whether one agrees or not. BUT yeah u lost me when u rated Alfheim 10 & Arizona modern 9 lol sigh But you're human. It's a default in your program 😂 a mistake your creator made 😂
:D I liked this breakdown, thanks! My love for Alfheim came from filming some hole in ones for it, I found that the margin between close to, and IN the hole was so fine sometimes, that it made an otherwise simple looking shot almost artistic to execute. As for the .5 divisions, I worked with sooo many versions of how to rank / divide the courses, and it was only when I went to this format that I finally felt reasonably comfortable with groupings. It has certainly divide the audience though :)
@InnerPrincessVR no no no, you're not gonna convince me that Alfheim deserves 10, when I think it's actually 8 at best 🤣🤣 Your jedi mind tricks will not work on this mature wise master 😉 But I understand why it means so much to you having explained how you came to that decision. We both like different things about WMG. Alfheim visually is just too bland for me. I don't feel like I'm somewhere magical like I feel in Meow wolf or Shangrila. Also I only play one course most days. Not every day. Probably around 5 courses a week. Unlike other players who play at least 3 or 4 games a day. So I went to escape reality and be immersed in an environment that is buzzing with glamour. The colours in Alfheim and the design kind of depress me. I'll play it if friends choose it or if it's the chosen discord game at the time, but my mood feels flat compared to if i go into meow wolf or Shangrila, if that makes sense. So, for me, it's about how I'm feeling when interacting with the colours, textures, and objects built into a new course. That's why I purchased meow wolf. I stopped purchasing courses from laser lair. I didn't purchase LL, Alfheim & widows walkabout because they didn't appeal to me at all. But when meow wolf came out and I played it once with friends, I purchased it immediately after that game. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed playing the 3 courses I didn't purchase, but I didn't feel the need to because I don't want more of that. I'll only invest in courses that make me feel happy & playful. That makes me desperately want to put on my headset and play.

They are all a blast to play. I find myself going back to Tourist Trap just for the crazy backward shot off the tee in hole 18. I also love Laser Lair and can't wait for the next evil lair. Walkabout is easily my favorite VR game. Thanks for all the videos you put out about it!
Ikr? I'm so excited for the next Evil Lair course
What do u think Yh e best evil lair course is
I love the courses where the play meshes with the theme, Atlantis has those gentle rolling waves in the easy mode and the crashing torrents in the hard course, I love the weirdness of Widows and Upside down town, but meow wolf just blew me out of the water
I have to say. You are an incredible channel and you’ve helped me with a lot of foxhunts I was stuck on. Thank you!!!!!

My only gripe is Sweetopia got bumped below 8 for being too happy. I would also put Labyrinth up one more.
Maybe it's because I'm a girl but I'll play Sweetopia just to go from a down mood to a good one.
It's a course I love when I'm in a better mood, but life has been a little tough for a while now, so haven't been able to visit it as much
So far i like all courses except Arizona Modern. It is set in the Desert with no appealing graphic layout whatsoever. The shapes of the holes are hard, yet very vanilla in design. If there were a 6 rating, this course would get that from me.
Am I the only one here that loves Upside Town? I've probably played that course the most, the novelty of the gravity mechanics have not worn off at all, and kts always a blast to play
I never go out of my way to pick it. But every time it pops up in random I never skip it because its just so different and fun.
its the worse one i feel.
Love this channel! Happy 3 years!

@@InnerPrincessVR can do, however the good news is this VR game is cross platform. I have played with someone who was using quest.

I would bump Bogeys Bonanza to an 8.5 (the back 9 is a solid 9)
and drop Seagull stacks to a 7.5
(by the way, your videos are great!)
I agree that back 9 is really good.
10- alfheim, tourist trap
9.5- meow wolf, temple at zerzura, journey to the center, quixote valley
9- labyrinth, atlantis, shangri-la, orginal gothic, sweetopia
8.5- seagull stacks, el doorado, 20,000 leagyes under the sea, tethys, station, gardens of babylon
8- bogeys bonanza, widows walkabout, myst, cherry blossom
7.5- upside town, arizona modern, laser lair
Love your list!
My 10s (the Courses I am always in the mood for):
Meow Wolf, Altantis, Myst, Laser Lair, Alfheim
9.5: El Dorado, Quixote Valley
9: Cherry Blossom, 20,000 Leagues, Journey to the Center of the Earth,
8.5: Tourist Trap (it's the nostalgia), Temple of Zerzura,
8: Shangri-La (Stunning course, but those sand traps are the bane of my existence), Original Gothic, Tethys Station, Labyrinth, Widow's Walkabout,
7.5: UpsideTown, Gardens of Babylon, Arizona Modern, & Bogey's Bonanza (I feel hot, sticky, and dirty when I play those AM & BB- VR feels real sometimes)
7: Sweetopia (my stomach churns and my teeth rot each time I am in there, but the holes are fun) & Seagull Stacks (so much anxiety on that night course - heights + icy/snowy, rocky steps - it's an LNI claim waiting to happen)
Love this! Interesting to see the variation in everyone’s lists
Just subbed to your channel and enjoying it a lot. This is a great video as well for us Walkabout Mini Golf enthusiasts. One positive and constructive criticism is the music choice. Extremely repetitive with the annoying voices every few seconds. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the courses and it was distracting. Just food for thought. Keep up the good work! 👍
Yeah that’s a fair point, do you think the music is still ok as long as the track changes ever few mins?
@InnerPrincessVR Yes, for sure. I have been watching lots of your videos for a few days now for tips and tricks and they are all great. The music is actually a nice touch. Only that one track seemed repetitive and almost annoying but I might be in the minority on that and didn't bug anyone else lol. Cheers and thanks again!
Great video as usual! Thanks for taking the time to do this exercise. I have to admit, ranking them is very difficult. Each one has things I love and some things I wish were different. But overall, it's a great variety of courses and I can't wait to see what comes out next. How about the putters? Which one is your favorite?
I might do a little video on those…
Great list! I would love to know where Around the World in 80 Days ranks!
New to the game, love the design and atmosphere. Good insight
Every course is terrific fun. I favor night courses with chill energy so my list is close to yours. But Seagull Stacks needs that 7.5 tier :)
You're right, there really isn't a "bad" course in the game and I'd enjoy popping into a match most times with just about any course. I also agree with your top picks; love those courses!
Personally I found the upside downtown to be by far the worse.
Good visually, but having to crane and twist your neck with the course on the ceiling was just a bad design choice.
I think he's being very generous by making the scale only go as low as 7.5.
I think that as a set of logical puzzles it’s quite unique in its challenge and complexity. I like having to figure the angles out and it’s also a fun one to play with new people / family, so for me it’s defo still worth at least a 7.5
@@InnerPrincessVR Each to their own!
You've obviously got a well earned relationship with the developers, but personally I'd have started the scale at 3 or 4.
More than a few lacklustre courses. Never really disastrous (except maybe the crash laden Myst one) but we broadly agreed that up until the evil lair (brilliant return to form) it felt like they where phoning it in somewhat.
Me and friends still buy them as a matter of course (pun intended!) as we think it's important to support the studio.
upside town is awful.
craning the neck is a skill issue. perpetual flying mode fixes a lot of physical awkwardness and the rest is about having the patience to learn the shots@@stuartburns8657
I bought every dlc today and after going through upside town with a friend and we both loved it. I would personally give it a 10. I also played widows today and I found alright 8.5 at best. Finally I played laser lair and loved it. I like the hard better suprisingly. Worth it and I haven’t touched most of them, easy course is a 9 hard is a 10.
I feel that Alfheim blew it when they didn’t incorporate the forest elevators into the game. I think there were great opportunities to really expand the game play.
Atlantis, for me, is an 11 with its tremendous amount of fish swimming around in so many different places. The whale and stingrays swimming gracefully makes it a great place to hang after completing the round.
As an environment Atlantis is among the top (though I'm not as keen on the night version), but I feel so engulfed in the environment, that I never end up paying much attention to the golf!
I love your videos…keep growing..I can’t ever be without your helpful tips and reviews
Thank you so much, I’ll keep trying 😊
Interesting to hear your thoughts. I'd have Sweetopia, Babylon, Arizona and Cherry Blossom higher, with Alfheim, Quixote Valley and Meow Wolf lower. Let's see what the next three years bring.
The main thing I don't like about Sweetopia is its easy course soundtrack. I love every other course's soundtrack but that looping bubblegum elevator music is just too much. Hard Sweetopia's soundtrack is fine though.
Hard for me to rank the rest. I think yours is pretty spot on. I'd put Journey and Widows a few levels higher and maybe move Quixote down one level.
Would be great if i could play the dlc or night courses in game with others who have them.
The only option to find people in game is quick play and it always seems to pick a standard easy course, even if both players have (and would prefer to play) night mode or a dlc course. Its a bizarre oversight that still hasnt been addressed, years on.
I hate it because the new courses look awesome but ive decided to stop buying until they add options to play dlc courses online without needing to add quest friends or post on discord.
Can't argue with these ratings at all. Excellent
I did this exact video but I have my other opinions and with the hard mode
Oh yeah, just had a quick watch, good job (beat me to it by a few months too)
Thank you for your videos. I find it very helpful
A really great list! I probably haven't played these courses as much as you, but for me my 10/10 courses are
Quixote Valley, Labrynth, Atlantis, and Temple at Zerzura. I haven't had a chance to play the courses after journey to the center of the earth though. Meow Wolf looks fantastic.
If you've not played Alfheim you should really set aside some time to try it, it's such a lovely place to be, and the golf is so enjoyable too
Great video of a wonderful game. I very much agree with your ratings, except for Quixote Valley. In my humble opinion, the holes don't offer much variety, there aren't many opportunities for hole-in-ones, and you end up playing conservatively. Visually, it's stunning, of course, but in terms of gameplay itself, my score would be an 8. And of course, congrats for your great channel.
About mid-last year, I remember playing quixote valley with my friends, and we sat down looking at the view for like an hour to an hour and a half instead of actually playing the mini golf
This is exactly the feeling I get in Quixote. It’s just so damn charming
Interesting insight. I haven’t even thought about ranking them. 😊
Great video!! I’d love to see your opinions on the best fox hunts/ hard levels. Thanks for all the great content friend 🎉
You have the best WMG content ever! Thank You!
There are no Fs but I'd still rate Arizona as a 5. That, and Myst are the only 2 I only finished, because I wanted the balls, and I didn't even do the Hard on Arizona, just the Fox Hunt.Loved Laser Lair, Upside Town, and the Halloween Map.The 20,000 Leagues under the sea was also a blast.
Thanks for the video! I can't wait for what they have next!
Nice video. Agree with almost all of them. I would put Laser Lair and Arizona Modern further down to 8.5, and instead pull up El Dorado, Myst and Journey to the Center of the Earth more up to 9 and have Labyrinth on 9.5.
Looks like you enjoy the challenging, less clean-cut hole designs - El Dorado is a great one if you're putting well
Awesome video. Though I don't agree with all the rankings having never thought about it, I can't disagree with any of your reasoning. Keep up the great work. Love your videos.
Thank you! Honestly I'm still changing my mind on some even with the video already published...
That is a fair ranking. My one exception is Upside Town which I hate because of the annoying mechanics. It does look good though.
Great vid! I just picked up my Quest 3 (my first VR headset) and gave this game a try last night. Blown away by the visuals and mechanics of the game. Can't wait to try all these out! Is it worth getting a golf grip controller holder?
Great video, list, and explanations! I think the scores are within .5 of where mine would be except for maybe Bogey’s. Aesthetically the easy course is lacking, but the replay ability and variance of scores for each round moves it up to an 8.5 for me.
I can’t disagree with you there, I know that Bogeys is popular. On reflection it was released around a time I was getting a little burned out with the game, it is very well designed and the hole variety is huge
My personal rankings (based on gameplay and scenery)
1. Labyrinth (Best Easy Map)
2. 20,000 Leagues
3. Journey to the center of the earth
4. Atlantis (Best hard map)
5. Laser Lair
6. Alfheim
7. Widows Walkabout
8. Meow Wolf
9. El Dorado
10. Gardens Of Babylon
11. Bogey's Bonanza
12. Myst
13. Temple At Zerzura
14. Shangri-La
15. Original Gothic
16. Arizona Modern
17. Tourist Trap
18. Cherry Blossom
19. Sweetopia
20. Quixote Valley
21. Upside Town
22. Tethys Station
23. Seagull Stacks
PS: love ur vids they help me out and i love the reviews on the maps :)
We have such varying tastes in courses, and I love that people have such individual preferences and that there's still plenty for all to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your list!
@@InnerPrincessVR anytime, love ur vids, another reason why I think I may have different opinions among the community is because I’m only 15 and I know this game has a lot of older people playing it
The Jules Verne courses are my favorites
Here's to the 3rd in 2024 then!
The black and white on Widow’s was such a stupid idea. The developer should ask themselves, “If we make this feature optional, would anyone ever turn it on?” If the answer is “no,” it’s a bad idea.
A noir haunted house sounds awesome to me!
I made some purchases based on your list. Great recommendations!
Awesome! Do try all of them though, many of my least favourite are other people’s top courses
You should do a tier list for the golf clubs
that's kinda pointless, since it's just for view and flavour, but doesn't affect the actual gameplay.
20,000 leagues is S teir. Only bad take in video giving it such a low score. Love the content keep it up!
Yeah I’m increasingly finding out I may be alone I’m not rating that one as high, I think on reflection I haven’t played it enough since release to rank it properly
its good, but not S.
I have every course as well. Play with my friends every Saturday. Meow Wolf is the only one where I felt like getting a refund. Absolutely AWFUL. Meow Wolf and UpsideDown Town are the only ones we all basically refuse to play, Our favorites seem to be Gardens, Quixote and Lazer.
On tethys station you can fly. Point the club up and hold the joystick in the up position, then fly fly away. Flying ability makes this way better than a 7.5
You can fly in any course! Happy flying!
NO NO NO, YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG! :) I love that you’ve done this - another wonderful video, so great re-visiting all the courses that haven’t popped up for me recently. Really must go back to Alfheim …
:) I just knew I'd be wrong more than right putting this video out, but I really enjoyed going back to all the courses and re-evaluating them. But each time I filmed one I though 'no THIS is a top-tier course', which is why I had to bring the baseline up to 7.5, which still feel cruel!
Does this game have multiplayer rooms for strangers? I want the game but I don’t want my game choices to be either alone or alone since no one else I know has a vr headset
@@MaxskiSynths so playing with strangers is only 1v1 and in a private lobby how many can you have?
Around the world is still my favorite didn't see it on this
Hard for me to vote any down but the top ones for me are Babylon, Atlantis, 20K under the sea, Quixote, Alfheim and (if I'm in the mood) Original Gothic and Meow Wolf.
I'm seeing 20k consistently getting high votes from people, I need to revisit it I think...
Come to Santa Fe NM (USA) and see the original Meow Wolf!
Good list, agree on the whole but liking Journey and Myst a bit more ...agree regarding Tethys, just not liking that and Sweetopia can be a bit much.
Quixote is always great, but Alfheim has grown on me and love the choral music.
One key ingredient though is the last hole; im always looking for something awesome to finish on a high and find Alfheim's a bit of a letdown in that respect.
My favourite has to be the space one just for the opportunity’s to get holes in 1 and it also has a loop
Good to know I'm not the only one who actually thinks this was a great layout in outer space. The graphics were sensational!
My personal list goes like this:
10 - Zerzura, journey, leagues, labyrinth
9.5 - Gothic, Arizona, Shangri
9 - Tourist, Dorado, Atlantis, Laser, 80 Days
8.5 - Alfheim, bogey, babylon, widows, myst, upside, quixote
8 - Cherry, meow wolf
7.5 - sweet, seagull, tethys
Great list! This might be the lowest I’ve ever seen cherry placed though
Pretty much how I would rate them. Thanks for your vids.
The thing is that easy vs hard rankings would be really different. OG EAasy is just boring but the hard version is strong, same with seagull stacks
I was waiting for a video like this!! ❤
I just had one too many requests to ignore it any longer!
If that ever add a weather option for each course. I would play the dark ones more! Sweetopia bright, sunny, colorful 10/10
Nice! When I’m in the mood for it I absolutely love that course, just not always ready for that amount of sugar!
My favorite thing to do in walkabout minigolf is to help new players unlock all lost balls and get hard mode
My ratings are very different but this was a fun video 👍
Holy balls the entire channel is JUST on one game
You know it.
An awesome vid. Nice job!
Where would you put the newest DLC, Ice Lair on this list?
Saying Upside Town is as good as 20k Leagues is WILD! To each their own though, great vid!
I know 20k is more popular than my feel on it, especially among top players. Where would you place it?
@@InnerPrincessVR Easily a 10/10, top 3 course for me.
We should have a round so you can show me what I’m not getting from it, go easy on me though
@@InnerPrincessVR might have to take you up on that. I love me some straight walls and an abundance of angles to pick from. The lighting and the sounds are great too, it’s the first course MC included that new brass metal sound and it goes great with the metal banks throughout the sub.
Funnest game out there. We play hard courses every night. Sooo fun!
Do u think they will add different scoring methods such as skins or match play?
Kinda sucks when u take a big number on one hole and ruin your whole round.
I’m sure it’s something they would have considered, hopefully something we all get to see soon
Having a love for ghost towns in the west, Bogeys Bonanza is one of my favorites. Lonely, in the best way. Idk why, but Arizona Modern was lower on my list, I would move that down to an 8/8.5. Need to play Alfheim, Atlantis, the Jules Verne’s courses and Meow Wolf still! Any votes on which one I should get first?
Journey to the center of the earth is my favorite so far. But I think myst has the best clubs if your into collecting
@@guy_in_suit Thanks!
Arizona Modern was my least favorite so far. I have yet to play any DLC courses.
Love your stuff great job!
Thank you :)
I stopped playing this game when Myth came out, I had no idea so many courses had been added
Lowest rating for Tethys!! Well, you once said that was the “Thinking Man’s” course so I guess that teaches us something about you :D
It’s technically a very enticing course to play, and a really well calculated format, but the environment tips it away for me a little the problem with the 7.5 score courses was that in truth I would give them all more than that but the inflation was getting silly when I tried to set the tiers
Yeah that’s understandable, and I know how much you love all these. Qv for me is one of the best hard but the only easy one I skip. What do you think about 80Days? That one’s a 10 for me. maybe we could get a vid like this at the end of each year.@@InnerPrincessVR
@@InnerPrincessVR “I’ve readjusted the scale from 9.6-10”
Is most of the dlc worth it? I’m tempted to buy all but unsure if I will like lots of them. There’s always usually lots of dlc for games courses, that are straight up, not good.
I would say all are very much worth it, they’re all brilliantly well made
I thought 20,000 leagues was a masterpiece of design.
This is becoming a theme of the comments, I think I'm going to spend a bit more time in it to appreciate it further
Quixote Valley is my absolute favorite.
You and me are going to get on just fine
I did not think that I'd learn how to properly pronounce an old spanish literary character's name from a video about my favourite VR minigolf game
I learned the hard way by pronouncing it wrong and being ridiculed for it, glad that others can stand on the shoulders of my failure 😁
Here are my ratings
Tourist trap-9 so fun to play whenever, never annoying or boring other than the hard course.
Cherry blossom-8 pretty fun, hard course is annoying though.
Seagull stacks-8.5 really fun and looks great, can get frustrating on certain holes though
Arizona modern-8.5 super fun, easy course is a blast, hard course holds it back from being a 10 though.
Original gothic-9.5 the hard course is SO good, easy course is great too.
Tethys station-1 I dread playing this course, it is in my opinion absolutely unbearable to play and I hate it with a passion, easily the 2 worst courses in the entire game, just awful.
Bogey’s bonanza-8 pretty fun and looks good, kind of forgettable though, I almost forgot to even rate it.
Quixote valley-9.5 amazing decoration and super fun for the entire thing.
Sweetopia-8 I used to hate this course but the more I play, the more I start liking it, love the decoration.
Upside town-8.5 this gets way too much hate, I love the decoration, but the course can sometimes be annoying.
Alfheim-7.5 amazing decoration, but I don’t like the holes very much, it is really annoying.
Widow’s walkabout-10 absolute masterpiece, amazing decoration, amazing gameplay, just so good.
Labyrinth-9.5 I was so obsessed with this when it came out, I must have played it 100 times in like 5 days. Amazing.
Myst-4 I do not enjoy this, it is really frustrating and I don’t really like the decoration either.
Meow wolf-10 Absolute Perfection, my first play through was easily the most fun I have ever had in vr. Just so good.
Gardens of Babylon-8 it is cool, nothing else to say really.
Shangri-la-8.5 really cool hard course and pretty fun.
El dorado-8 can be really annoying, but the hard course looks so good.
Atlantis-9.5 looks amazing, and other than the hard course, is super fun as well.
Temple at zerzura-9 looks great and is really fun to play, cool foxhunt too.
20000 leagues under the sea-9.5 amazing decoration, and so fun.
Journey to the center of the earth-8.5 really, really good decoration, and pretty fun too.
Laser lair-8 can get really frustrating but is fun overall.
Heavily disagree with alfheim being at the top and I think myst and meow wolf should be a 10 ;) but that's OK. We do agree that Tethys Station is at the bottom 😅
Going for symmetry in the tier layout instead of an objective ranking?
No, that was a coincidence. All ratings were assigned to the courses independently and then mapped out graphically
So, can you pick any stage or is it randomly picked for you?
You can pick any or use a random course selector. All the hard mode versions are locked until you score below par on the east or collect enough lost balls
El dorado is my ❤
top ones - temple, 20000 leagues, gothic and atlantis, while the 2 we tend to pass on are tethys and quixote
Meow Wolf has to be the best now. So much effort put in
You don’t like Quixote?!?!?
@@InnerPrincessVRCherry blossom is pretty lame in comparison to others
@Martin-hk1ch but the shots and angles are so refined and balanced!
@@InnerPrincessVRTo be fair, whatever you are playing on looks so much more polished than a quest 3’s graphics
❤
I will only have one course ranked as a number 10 when Walkabout will have a baseball hidden as a lost ball. 😂
Great video. Meow wolf is in my opinion just horrible. Wish the game would release more ‘ regular ‘ courses
Meo wolf is abysmal.
Is there golden and if so what world
Labyrinth is 10/10 bro wth
-21 on alfheim hard. Who’s beating it
Interesting video, BUT 🤔😂
I do agree with most of your ratings, BUT 🤔😂
I do differ on some.
I'll start with row 10, I don't agree with Alfheim as a 10 when compared to the other 2 courses.
I would also swap Arizona modern with sweetopia. AM is visually unappealing.
Finally all the 9.5 courses are way more enjoyable than Alfheim. So I don't understand the logic behind that choice.
My top 5 favourite to play in no order of preference are, Shangrila, Cherry Blossom, temple at Z, meow wolf and tourist trap because of its realistic play.
But honestly speaking I would rank them 7, 8, 9 & 10
I don't agree that u needed to split them by 7.5, 8.5, 9.5. That's just being over dramatic.
I think most of the courses get an 8 or 9 from me. 3 courses get a 10 and 4 courses get a 7.
It makes sense that players will disagree on rankings because different things appeal to different players in different ways.
For me environment and art is more important than mechanics of how each hole plays. I want it to feel relaxing, playful and adventurous. That's why AM doesn't appeal to me. It's like comparing rice to fried rice 😂
Overall I still enjoyed the video because it makes u think deeply about each course and whether one agrees or not.
BUT yeah u lost me when u rated Alfheim 10 & Arizona modern 9 lol sigh
But you're human. It's a default in your program 😂 a mistake your creator made 😂
:D I liked this breakdown, thanks! My love for Alfheim came from filming some hole in ones for it, I found that the margin between close to, and IN the hole was so fine sometimes, that it made an otherwise simple looking shot almost artistic to execute.
As for the .5 divisions, I worked with sooo many versions of how to rank / divide the courses, and it was only when I went to this format that I finally felt reasonably comfortable with groupings. It has certainly divide the audience though :)
@InnerPrincessVR no no no, you're not gonna convince me that Alfheim deserves 10, when I think it's actually 8 at best 🤣🤣
Your jedi mind tricks will not work on this mature wise master 😉
But I understand why it means so much to you having explained how you came to that decision.
We both like different things about WMG. Alfheim visually is just too bland for me. I don't feel like I'm somewhere magical like I feel in Meow wolf or Shangrila.
Also I only play one course most days. Not every day. Probably around 5 courses a week. Unlike other players who play at least 3 or 4 games a day. So I went to escape reality and be immersed in an environment that is buzzing with glamour.
The colours in Alfheim and the design kind of depress me. I'll play it if friends choose it or if it's the chosen discord game at the time, but my mood feels flat compared to if i go into meow wolf or Shangrila, if that makes sense.
So, for me, it's about how I'm feeling when interacting with the colours, textures, and objects built into a new course.
That's why I purchased meow wolf. I stopped purchasing courses from laser lair. I didn't purchase LL, Alfheim & widows walkabout because they didn't appeal to me at all.
But when meow wolf came out and I played it once with friends, I purchased it immediately after that game.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed playing the 3 courses I didn't purchase, but I didn't feel the need to because I don't want more of that. I'll only invest in courses that make me feel happy & playful. That makes me desperately want to put on my headset and play.
cherry blossom is over rated, most holes you have to tic-tac the ball.
Music 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Bogiese bonsela is 9.5
Say the name of the game you're talking about in your intro so we don't have to revert to the video title.
Thank you for your feedback
Yeah. F Laser Lair lol
Love lazer lair! But it does split people down the middle
@@InnerPrincessVR I’ll do 18 holes of upside down putts before I have my balls lasered in half 😡
