We Love Golf! received "generally favorable reviews" according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[5] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of one nine, one eight, one seven, and one eight, for a total of 32 out of 40.[7]
Before the game was released, editors and journalists complained about the difficulty of the putting system. Upon its release in North America, the putting had seen a drastic overhaul to make it much easier. Most reviews had complained that the putting was now too easy, since Camelot took the negative feedback on putting difficulty so critically.
