Dream Golf VR
Hand Update
Quick update today for the hands' visibility.
For those wanting to play with one controller, simply place the unused one on a flat surface and the hand will disappear when not in use. The hand now also disappears when a club is picked up, for a more natural feeling of holding a club and not being in the way visually when taking a shot.
As a side note, the in-game resolution options have been removed. Sometime after these were added to the game, SteamVR acquired additional functionality to override resolution per game.
Thanks for playing!
New Features & Improvements
New Features:
- [Auto Teleport] Automatically be teleported to the next hole once you sink your putt.
- [Music Volume] There is now a setting for game music volume in the clubhouse on the title map.
- [Golfball Sensitivity] At last! Due to popular demand, there is now an option to change the sensitivity of the ball. This can be found in the clubhouse on the title map.
Improvements:
- Ball color selection improved
- Games now start automatically without needing to smash the barrel first
- Snap Turn is now on by default (easier for non-room-scale players)
- The hole will no longer skip is an unused controller (hand) is on the floor and intersects with the ball.
- A few of the holes on the Grotto course have been tweaked
Thanks for playing, enjoy!
New Feature - Skip Hole
Today's update brings a new feature to the game, the ability to skip holes!
If you find yourself a little too frustrated trying to finish a hole, just reach for the ball with either hand to skip it. Use this with caution though, as it will add 20 strokes to your score.
Snap turn has also been refined & its bugs have been fixed,
Thanks for playing!

Practice Hole & Highscore
Today's update brings a new practice hole on the titlemap. For those looking to improve their shot, this is a great way to do it! For the competitive ones, there is also a new high score for who has the most aces on this new practice hole.
Snap turn now has an option of being turned on and off (off by default). To turn it on, there's now a switch in the clubhouse on the titlemap.
This update also brings general game improvements & bug fixes. A few of the holes have been made slightly less impossible to get a hole-in-one on too.
Keep an eye out for course number 3, which is nearing completion!
Thanks for playing, enjoy!
Glow Golf!
Available on both courses!
Find this new pull switch next to the existing "practice mode" and "hard mode" switches. One can find this inside the clubhouse to the right of the model.
Thanks for playing! :D
Higher Resolution & Improved Gameplay!
In addition, users will experience a general improvement of resolution with any headset!
If manual detail level adjustment is desired, there is now a panel in the corner of the clubhouse where you can manually adjust the level of detail. Generally, your experience should be optimized without adjusting these settings.
Other game-play improvements have been made related to physics.
