A review from Miguel Angel Escudero writing for IGN said it 'overflows with charisma'. Pocket Gamer's Emily Sowden commented 'the golfing element is fun, the story is interesting, the characters are great, and the game's unlike most of the things we've seen on Switch so far.' Andrew Reiner of Game Informer commented 'Golf Story makes you care about the characters and their world just as much as sinking a do-or-die putt' before calling it a 'breath of fresh air'. The game also gained appreciation for its story and characters. Gita Jackson of Kotaku said ' Golf Story is a Nintendo Switch RPG you should play,' and despite not being a fan of golf, she had a newfound appreciation for the game. Martin Robinson writing for Eurogamer called it 'one of the finer games you'll find on Nintendo's Switch this year,' Robinson also said that despite the game not being the best golf game or RPG, it was a 'irresistible and harmonious combination' of the two. Critics were positive about the games feel and its charm. The game received 'generally favourable reviews' according to media review aggregator website Metacritic, based on 39 critic reviews. Downloadable content was originally planned for the game's post-release, adding more courses, but focus instead shifted in favour of a sequel.

This also allowed Sidebar to get assistance from Nintendo to finish development of the game. Due to a lengthy development time from expansion of the game's scope, development moved over to the Nintendo Switch after the end of Wii U's lifespan. This was set to be Sidebar Games' first home console release, having worked on smaller games for the prior eight years. Golf Story was originally in development as a Wii U title by Sidebar Games, a development studio made up of a two-man team from Queensland, Australia. In addition to traditional golf, the game also features a handful of cousin sports, including disc golf, miniature golf, an Atari-like golfing mini game, a driving range, and bowls. The player is capable of playing shots from any location, allowing them to obtain collectables and secrets. Golf is played a three-click system, in which player clicks once to aim, once to set power, and once to set accuracy. Each area includes a nine-hole golf course that can be played after certain missions are completed. The game features eight unique areas each filled with side quests and minigames that allow the player to earn experience and money, which can be used to develop the player's skills and purchase new equipment. The game is presented as a traditional role-playing game (RPG), with the character gaining skills in power and accuracy.
